Abstract

The title mononickeladodeca­borane cluster, [NiB11H6(OC3H7)5(H2O)2], has been synthesized by the reaction of dichloro­bis(triphenyl­phosphine)nickel(II) with triethyl­ammonium nido-undeca­borane(14) in 2-propanol. The NiIV atom is connected to five atoms of the boron cage to form a closo 12-vertex {NiB11} icosa­hedral skeleton. All of the H atoms on the five B cage atoms connected to the Ni atom are substituted by isoprop­oxy groups. The NiIV atom is also bonded to two water mol­ecules. The mol­ecules form dimers through inter­molecular hydrogen-bond inter­actions.
