Abstract: | The title compound, 9‐iodo‐1,2‐diphenyl‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane(9), C14H19B10I, has the expected pseudo‐icosahedral cluster geometry, with a cage C—C distance of 1.724 (4) Å, comparable to that in the non‐iodinated parent. However, the twist angles, θ, of the phenyl rings are 2.1 (6) and 27.6 (5)°, the latter being unusually large. |
