ABSTRACT
Thermolysis in the solid state of Cs+[arachno-CB9H14]-, or of Cs+[nido-CB9H12]-, or the oxidation of nido-1-CB8H12 with I2 in THF at -78 degrees C in the presence of NEt3, gives the first nine-vertex closo monocarbaborane, the stable [closo-4-CB8H9]- anion, in yields of 56, 61 and 75%, respectively.
