Synthesis and study of C -substituted methylthio derivatives of cobalt bis(dicarbollide)

The C -methylthio derivatives of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) rac -[1,1′-(MeS) 2 -3,3′-Co(1,2-C 2 B 9 H 10 ) 2 ] − and meso -[1,2′-(MeS) 2 -3,3′-Co(1,2-C 2 B 9 H 10 ) 2 ] − were synthesized and studied by DFT calculations and X-ray diffraction.
