Abstract

The new auraboranes [(B₁₀H₁₂)Au(B₁₀H ₁₃)]^2- and [(B₁₀H₁₂)Au(B ₁₀H₁₂)]^- have been synthesised by the addition of B₁₀H₁₄ to a solution of R₃PAuMe (R = cyclo-C₆H₁₁ or C₆H₄Me-2), a crystallographic study showing that the geometry of the {AuB₁₀H ₁₃} fragment of the former is that of an arachno fragment of a 13-vertex decosahedron; a mechanism is proposed which involves formal oxidative slipping of a gold atom from a B-Au-B bridge to a polyhedral vertex.
