title: Ten-vertex {closo-2,1,10-FeC2B7} clusters with intramolecular imidate linkages: anchors for supramolecular construction.
abstract: Intramolecular hydroxyl attack upon iron-coordinated nitriles in a {closo-2,1,10-FeC2B7} system forms imidates that allow construction of a tetra-cluster {FeC2B7}-{C2Co2}-{C2Co2}-{FeC2B7} molecule.
