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.
