Reaction of S2B16H16 and [NiBr2(PPh3)2] in the presence of base has yielded nineteen-vertex [(PPh3)NiS2B16H12-(PPh 3)], of which the basic cluster structure consists of a nido-shaped nine-vertex {1-NiB8} subcluster and a closo-shaped twelve-vertex {1,4-NiSB10} subcluster fused with the {1′,3′,4′: 1,2,3} {NiB2} triangular face in common; a related co-product is non-metallated eighteen-vertex S2B16H14(PPh3), of which the basic cluster structure consists of a nido-shaped {B8} eight-vertex subcluster and a nido-shaped {SB9} eleven-vertex subcluster fused with the {3′,8′:6,7} diboron edge in common.
