Per-B-hydroxylation of a polyhedral borane anion has been demonstrated by the catalytic hydroxylation of icosahedral [closo-B(12)H(12)](2-) using soft electrophiles such as platinum group metal catalysts or iodine cation. A new route to [closo-B(12)(OH)(12)](2-) from [closo-B(12)H(12)](2-) without the use of H(2)O(2) oxidant provides an alternative hydroxylation process.
