Abstract

Reversible hypercloso-closo interconversion by means of simple redox chemistry: Two-electron reduction of hypercloso-[1-(η⁶-C₆Me₆)-1-RuB₉H₉] (1) gives the closo dianion 2^2-, which displays the bicapped square- antiprismatic structure expected for a closo cluster with 2n+2 skeletal electrons. The dianion 2^2- is quantitatively oxidized back to 1 by simple air oxidation.
