title: A novel heterometallic μ9-boride cluster: synthesis and structural characterization of [(η(5)-C5Me5Rh)2{Co6(CO)12}(μ-H)(BH)B].
abstract: The preparation, characterization, and electronic structure of the first heterometallic μ9-boride cluster [(Cp*Rh)2{Co6(CO)12}(μ-H)(BH)B)] has been reported. The interstitial boron atom in the title cluster is within the bonding contact of eight metal and one boron atom in a unique tricapped trigonal prism geometry.
