title: "Water-stable boron-iodinated dicarbollide dianions [7,8-nido-C2H2B9I9]2- and [7,8-nido-C2H2B9I8H]2-".
abstract: The reaction of 3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12-I(9)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(3) with KOH/EtOH gave a mixture of the boron periodinated [1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,11-I(9)-7,8-nido-C(2)B(9)H(2)](2-) and the highly iodinated on boron [1,2,4,5,6,9,10,11-I(8)-7,8-nido-C(2)B(9)H(3)](2-) in approximately 50% each. Moreover, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12-I(10)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(2) was reacted with KOH/EtOH to purely produce [1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,11-I(9)-7,8-nido-C(2)B(9)H(2)](2-). It is the first dinegative dicarbollide stable in water or protic solvent reported in literature.
