title: Heterolytic H2 activation on a carbene-ligated rhodathiaborane promoted by isonido-nido cage opening.
abstract: A new mechanism of H2 activation is reported to occur on a carbene-ligated rhodathiaborane that features metal-thiaborane bifunctional synergistic effects. The key is the creation of vacant coordination sites by an isonido-nido structural transformation leading to the heterolytic H-H bond splitting.
