title: How to overcome Coulomb explosions in labile dications by using the [B(12)Cl(12)](2-) dianion.
abstract: The dicationic homoleptic lithium-sulfur dioxide complex [Li(2)(SO(2))(8)](2+) in [Li(2)(SO(2))(8)][B(12)Cl(12)] has been characterized by X-ray diffraction; [Li(2)(SO(2))(8)](2+) is stabilized in the solid state by the weakly-coordinating dianion [B(12)Cl(12)](2-) and the high lattice enthalpy of the resulting dication-dianion salt.
