Abstract

A neutron diffraction study of the salt (PSH+)(nido-7 8- C2B9H12-) reveals the unsymmetrically bridging site of the endo hydrogen in the carborane anion. This is the first neutron diffraction structure determination of a cluster borane or carborane containing natural abundance boron isotopes.
