Abstract

In the title compound, (eta(5)-2,5-dimethylpyrrolyl)[(7,8,9,10,11-eta)-7-methyl-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborato]cobalt(III), [3-Co[eta(5)-[2,5-(CH(3))(2)-NC(4)H(2)]]-1-CH(3)-1,2-C(2)B(9)H(10)] or [Co(C(3)H(13)B(9))(C(6)H(8)N)], the Co(III) atom is sandwiched between the pentagonal faces of the pyrrolyl and dicarbollide ligands, resulting in a neutral molecule. The C-C distance in the dicarbollide cage is 1.649 (3) A.
