Synthetic procedure: See article for the definitive version of this procedure and for full experimental details.

A typical experimental procedure is given for compound 4a. 1H NMR (400.1 MHz, CD2Cl2, 30 °C): δ 7.96-6.81 (m, 20H, ArH), 3.95 (s, 2H, cage-CH), 3.78-1.02 (bm, 28H, cage-BH and alkyl-CH); 11B (128.4 MHz, CD2Cl2, 30 oC, BF3-Et2O): δ - 2.3 (s, 2B, BF4), - 3.6 to - 23.8 (bm, 20BH); 31P{1H} NMR (100.6 MHz, CD2Cl2, 30 °C): δ 43.2 (s, 1JP-Pt=3207). HRMS (ESI): m/z calcd for C32B20H50ClP2PtS2 [M-2BF4+Cl]+: 1006.4172, found: 1006.4129. Calculated for C32B22H50F8P2PtS2: C, 33.55; H, 4.40; found: C, 33.62; H, 4.39. Single crystals suitable for X-Ray studies were grown by slow diffusion of diethyl ether, layered on top of a dichloromethane solution of 4b in a NMR tube.
