Abstract
Visible light irradiation of cations [(Carb)Fe(η-C6H6)]+ in the presence of Cp*Fe(η-cyclo-P5) affords the μ-pentaphospholyl triple-decker complexes [(Carb)Fe(μ-η:η-cyclo-P5)FeCp*]+ (Carb = 9-SMe2-7,8-C2B9H10 (3a) and 1-t-BuNH-1,7,9-C3B8H10 (3b)). Structures of 3a- and 3b[Co(η-7,8-C2B9H11)2] were determined by X-ray diffraction. Bonding in 3a, 3b and mononuclear building blocks was analyzed by energy decomposition analysis.
