Siamese borates: Syntheses are described for salts of the closo-[B21H18]− and fac-[B20H18]2− ions. The [B21H18]− ion is the first example of a singly charged closo-borate ion in which two icosahedral fragments are fused together such that they have a common face. The synthesis of novel weakly coordinating anions based on these frameworks is thus within reach.
