[(CHa^ BgQHgJsNflvhas previously been shown to exist in two modifications, one of which (isomer B) shows four types of methyl protons in its magnetic resonance spectrum and may be resolved into enantiomers via the corresponding {[(CH3) 2BgC2Hg] 2Ninl1-anion. An X-ray structural study of racemic isomer B shows it to be 3, 4'-commo-[1, 2-dimethyl-l, 2-dicarba-3-nickela-c/oso-dodecaborane]-[l', 2'-dimethyl-1', 2'-dicarba-4'-nickela-c/osododecaborane]. The complex crystallizes in the centrosymmetricmonoclinic space group P2i/n (C2h5; no. 14) with a= 13.489±0.010, b= 20.223±0.012, c= 7.626±0.006 Á, ß= 93.62±0.05, V= 2076 Á3, Z= 4. Observed and calculated densities are 1.23±0.05 and 1.215 g cm-3, respectively. The use of three-dimensional counter data to sin-0.75 (Cu Ka radiation) has led to the location of allnonhydrogen atoms, the final discrepancy index being RP= 8.64% for the 1396 independent nonzero reflections. The discrete molecular units of [(CH3) 2B9C2H9] 2NiIV are separated by normal van der Waals distances. The NiIVion is “sandwiched” between two mutually staggered 1, 2-dimethyl-l, 2-dicarbollide ligands and is the common(3, 4') apex of the two icosahedra. Thus, in one dicarbollide ligand, both C (l) and C (2) are in the basal pentagonal bonding face, whereas in the other ligand only C (1') is directly bonded to the nickel, with C (2') being in the upper pentagonal plane of this icosahedron. There is an angle of 14 51'between the bonding faces of the two dicarbollide ligands.
