The reaction of the rhenium carborane complex [1,1,1-(CO)3–isonido–1,2,4–ReC2B8H10]-tmndH+ 1 with an equimolar amount of I2 in CH2Cl2 at room temperature for an hour leads to the formation of a complex [1,1 –(CO)2–1,1–I2–isonido–1,2,4–ReC2B8H10]-tmndH+ (1). After crystallization (CH2Cl2-hexane), complex 1 was isolated in quantitative yield in the form of orange crystals. The structure of complex 1, assumed on the basis of 1H, 11B, 11B{1H}, 13C NMR spectra, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.
