Abstract: An improved method for preparation of closo dodecaborate B12H122- with yield of 89.8% is described. The improved reaction conditions and separation procedure of the product for thermal decomposition of B3H8- to B12H122- in diglyme are given. The method is suitable for routine preparation.

Key words: disodium dodecahydrododecaborate, synthesis
