Department of Chemistry for assistance in obtaining 31P FT N M R spectra. We greatly appreciate the many valuable suggestions from, and discussions with, Dr. Karen W. Morse.Registry No. (PF2C6H,oPF2),Mo, 67858-57-5; fac-(PF2C6Hl@F2)Mn(CO)3Br, 67858-58-6; (PF2C6H1J'F2),Mn(CO)Br, 67858-59-7; ~~S -F~( C O )~( P F~C~H~~P F~) , 67858-60-0; Fe(CO)(P-C O~( C O )~.~~Wave functions calculated in the partial retention of diatomic differential overlap (PRDDO) approximation are presented for hypothetical closo boron hydrides B,H," with n ranging from 13 to 24. Some structures are free of distortions due to incomplete occupancy only if c = 0, rather than the usual -2. Selected doubly negative and three neutral structures are discussed in terms of charge stability, static reactivity indices, degrees of bonding, overlap populations, and localized molecular orbitals obtained by the Boys criterion. Observations and speculations are made on stability, relations to metallocarborane chemistry, and synthesis.
