In the title compound, C8H20N(+)·C3H10B11N2 (-), the carborane anion cage displays nearly-perfect Cs symmetry, with the two CN groups lying on a noncrystallographic mirror plane that bis-ects the cage. In the crystal, the anions form extended chains along the a-axis direction, with C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds linking consecutive anions. The C N bond lengths (and B-C N angles) in the nitrile moities are 1.1201 (19) Å, 178.60 (15)° and 1.1433 (17) Å, 179.45 (15)°, similar to those observed in organic nit ...[more]
