    • Main Results:

    • Successful synthesis of the neutral 11-vertex rhoda-dithiaundecaborane cluster.
    • The structure features an [Rh(C(5)Me(5))] unit at the 3-position and an exo-attached iodopentyl chain.
    • The cluster retains the arachno-7,8-S(2)B(9)H(10)(-) geometry with a rhodium substitution.

    Conclusions:

    • A new class of rhodium-functionalized boron clusters has been accessed.
    • The synthetic strategy allows for the incorporation of organometallic fragments and functional chains.
    • The unique structure suggests potential for further exploration in catalysis and materials science.
