The dithiaborane anion/¡ yp/ioS2B6H9_ (I) was produced in high yield by the reaction of anzc/mo-S2B7H8-with excess acetone. Subsequent reaction of I with excess methyl iodide gave AypZzo-2, 3-(CH3) 2-2, 3-S2B6H8 (II). A single-crystal X-ray determination of II showed that the compound has an eight-vertex hypho cage geometry, which can be derived from an octadecahedron by removing three vertices. Alternatively, II can be considered a dibridged derivative of hexaborane (lO). Crystal data for II: space group R2,/c; Z= 4; a= 5.753 (1), 6= 7.293 (1), c= 23.380 (3) A; ß= 92.087 (2); V= 980.2 A1 23. The structure was refined by full-matrix least squares to a final R of 0.051 and Rw of 0.071 for the 1394 reflections, which had F02> 3ct (F02). The reaction of I with diiodomethane gave hypho-1-CH2-2, 5-S2B6H8 (III) in good yield. A single-crystal X-ray structural determination of III showed that it has a nine-vertex hypho cage geometry derived from an icosahedron by removal of three vertices. Furthermore, the cage is observed to have a unique CH2 unit bridging the two sulfur atoms forming an open five-membered face. Crystal data for III: space group C/c; Z= 4; a= 6.9538 (6), b= 11.850 (2), c= 9.9202 (6) A; ß= 104.689 (6); V= 790.7 A3. The structure was refined by full-matrix least squares to a final R of 0.042 and Rw of 0.055 for the 635 reflections, which had FQ2> 3a (F02). The dithiaborane anion hypho-S2B1} i¡(¡~(IV) was produced by the reaction of hypho-S2B (fif with BH3-THF. Alternatively, IV may be prepared in better yields either by the reaction of arac/mo-S2B7H8~ with BFI3-THF or by the direct reaction of arachno-6, 8-S2B7H9 with NaBFI4. Protonationof IV gives the neutral compound Ayp/io-7, 8-S2B7Hn (V) in good yield. V is isoelectronic withIII and, on the basis of the spectroscopic data, is proposed to adopt a similar hypho cage geometry in which a BH2 unit bridges the two sulfur atoms on the five-membered face with an additional hydrogen bridgebetween the B10 and Bll borons.Most polyhedral boranes have been found to be members of the closo, nido, or arachno electronic classes, containing n+ 1,+ 2, or n 4-3 skeletal electron pairs, respectively (where= the numberof cage atoms). Although manyexceptions are known, compounds that fall into these classes generally have predictable structures based on closed deltahedra or deltahedra missing one or two vertices, respectively. 1 There are many fewer members of the hypho electronic class, that is clusters containing n+ 4 skeletal electrons. Examples include B6H10 (PMe3) 2, 2 B5H12 “, 3
