The mononuclear 7-vertex closo-ferracarborane cluster (C 5 Me 5 )Fe II H(Et 2 C 2 B 4 H 4 ) (1) and (C 5 Me 5 )Fe III (Et 2 C 2 B 4 H 4 ) (2) and the phenylene-linked diiron species (Et 2 C 2 B 4 H 4 )M(C 5 Me 4 -C 6 H 4 -C 5 Me 4 )M'(Et 2 C 2 B 4 H 4 ) (3, M=M'=Fe II H ; 4, M=Fe II H, M'=Fe III ; and 5, M=M'=Fe III ) were prepared and isolated via column and/or plate chromatography on silica or Al 2 O 3 . Their chemical interconversion was examined, and the air-stable products were characterized from their 1 H, 13 C, and 11 B NMR, infrared, UV-visible, mass spectra, and elemental analysis and an X-ray diffraction study of 3. The crystallographic data established the location of the Fe-H hydrogen atom in each of the two equivalent ferracarborane clusters ; this hydrogen is coordinated both to iron and to the neighboring atoms in the carborane ligand and be described as capping an Fe-B-B triangular face
