| Abstract | {The reaction of [NEt4][7-nido-TeB10H11] 1 with [Mo(CO)(3)(eta (7)-C7H7)][BF4] 2 in dichloromethane yields the novel paramagnetic, B-fluorinated, "mixed-sandwich" compound [2-(eta (7)-C7H7)-7,11-F-2-2,1-closo-MoTeB10H8] 3 in 19% yield. An X-ray diffraction study of 3 establishes the closo twelve-vertex MoTeB10-cage structure with two B-F units at adjacent positions. The structure of 3 was solved in space group Pna2(1) with unit cell dimensions of a=16.7598(18) |
