Treatment of Na2[closo-B12H12] with one mole equivalent of (PMe2Ph)2PdCl2 in THF at room temperature formed Na[closo-(PMe2Ph)-B12H11], 1,7- and 1,12-(PMe2Ph)2-closo-B12H10 in moderate yield. Reaction of K[nido-7,8-C2B9H12] with one half a mole equivalent of (PMe2Ph)2PdCl2 in CH2Cl2 at room temperature formed a mixture of 9-PMe2Ph-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 and 10-PMe2Ph-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 in overall good yield. Single-crystal X-ray structures of 1,7-(PMe2Ph)2-closo-B12H10 and 9-PMe2Ph-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 are reported.
