The concept of icosahedral barrier has been expanded from the chemistry of carbaboranes to the area of thiaboranes. Both representatives of this barrier, i. e., closo-1,2-C2 B10 H12 and closo-1-SB11 H11 , are similar in their electron distribution, which is dominated by positive charge in the midpoint of the C-C vector and on the sulfur atom with experimentally determined dipole moments of 4.50 D and 3.64 D, respectively. This is a driving force for their reactivity as exemplified by their reactions with different carbon functionalities. Icosahedral closo-1-SB11 H11 reacts both with an electron sextet containing carbon (in the form of N-heterocyclic carbenes), reported earlier, and with methyl iodide with an electron octet on the carbon. The latter reaction provides hexamethylated thiaborane on the basis of methylation so far unknown in this area of heteroborane chemistry. The computations of the heat of formation (ΔHf298 ) make it possible to estimate the height of the barrier as well as to propose closo-thiaboranes beyond the barrier. Eleven and twelve vertex thiaboranes with nido electron count are known experimentally for breaking the barrier. These computations also suggest that the larger nido-thiaboranes are promising candidates for the corresponding experimental availability, i. e., the ΔHf298 of a 13-vertex nido-thiaborane cluster has been computed to be more negative than that of the well-known nido-SB10 H11- cluster (-6.7 and -5.6 kcal mol-1 per vertex, respectively).
