7,8-Bis(pyridinium-2-ylthio)-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborate Trifluoromethanesulfonate

P. G. Jones, O. Crespo, M. C. Gimeno and A. Laguna

In the title compound, C₁₂H₂₀B₉N₂S₂⁺.CF₃SO₃⁻, the open B₃C₂ face of the carborane contains three terminal H atoms and one bridging B—H—B unit, with B—H distances of 1.12 (3) and 1.39 (3) Å. The S—C—C/N angles to the pyridinium groups differ appreciably, possibly because of H

H steric interactions between pyridinium and carborane. Hydrogen bonds of the form N—H

O link two anions and two cations over an inversion centre.
