Abstract

The thermal and photochemical pathway of compound 1 [6-(η⁵-C₅Me₅)-nido-6-RhB₉H₁₃] is reported. Under thermal conditions, compound 1 was converted to [hypercloso-(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhB₉H₉] (2) through the loss of two dihydrogen molecules in toluene. In contrast, under UV irradiation, compound 1 undergoes reactions in benzene to give the previously known compound [nido-5-(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhB₉H₁₃] (3). The hypercloso compound 2 is the first Rhodium containing hypercloso-metalladecaborane, while the photochemically induced isomerization is unprecedented. The compounds were identified using spectroscopic methods.
