Abstract

Cocrystallisation of ortho- meta- and para-carboranes with hmpa (hexamethylphosphoramide) results in the isolation of 1:1 carborane:hmpa adducts which provide the first definitive X-ray structures of the unsubstituted carboranes as part of three very different C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded supramolecular structures.
