Synthesis and characterization of 2-methyl-1-phenylsulfanyl-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12) was presented and its crystal structure was determined. Reaction of 1-Me-1,2-C2B10H11 in diethyl ether with a solution of n-butyllithium in hexane, and a subsequent reaction with phenyl disulfide in diethyl ether resulted in a white solid. After purification, the solid was recrystallized from dichloromethane-n-hexane and pale yellow crystals of the title compound were obtained. Crystal structure revealed that the methyl and phenylsulfanyl groups were connected to the C atoms of the carborane cage. The Ccage-Ccage distance was found to be 1.708 (4) A.
