Fourteen-vertex homo- and heterobimetallic metallacarboranes.
Reduction of 4-(p-cymene)-4,1,12-closo-RuC2B10H12 followed by metallation with {M'} fragments (M' = {CpCo2+}, {(arene)Ru2+} or {(dppe)Ni2+}) affords 14-vertex bimetallic 1,14,2,10-RuM'C2B10 species having bicapped hexagonal antiprismatic structures.
