3-(η³-Allyl)-3,3-dicarbonyl-4-(dimethyl sulfido)-3,1,2-molybdadicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12)

The title charge-compensated allyl carbamolybdaborane 3-(η³-C₃H₅)-3,3-(CO)₂-4-SMe₂-3,1,2-closo-MoC₂B₉H₁₀ has been synthesized and its solid-state structure determined. In the solid state the conformation of the {Mo(η³-C₃H₅)(CO)₂} fragment is such that the carbonyl ligands are approximately trans to the cage C atoms and the conformation of the allyl group is exo.
