Reaction of B10H14 with Et3PAuMe affords the triple cluster , and with Cy3PAuMe (Cy = cyclohexyl) the substituted complex is isolated; a mechanism for the formation of the triple cluster is proposed.

The new Class of 2 gold-boron compounds (1a; R=cyclo-C6H11; 1b, R=C6H4Me-2) have been prepared by the reaction between and B10H14 in CH2Cl2.Compound (1a) is also afforded by reaction between > and (1-).The exact mechanism of the first reaction is unclear, but probably proceeds via sequential oxidative addition and reductive elimination.Crystallographic analyses of compounds (1) show the expected decarborane-like geometry.There is some evidence of an intramolecular interaction between Au and the B(9)-H-B(10) bridge system.A thorough n.m.r. study of (1b) was undertaken, including an 11B(COSY) experiment which allowed almost complete assignment of the ten inequivalent B atoms in the molecule.
