1,10-dicarboxy-1,10-dicarba-closo-decaborane, a classical dicarboxylate spacer ligand type similar to the prototypal terephthalic acid, proved to be different not only from the latter, but also the closest relative, the 1,12-dicarboxy-closo-1,12-dicarbadecaborane regarding topology of the derived PCPs. Highly porous and robust compounds of zinc (rob net) and cobalt ('quasi' pcu) as well as a topologically unexpected copper compound (lvt) define the individuality of the 10-vertex carborane cage as a new fundamental spacer type in PCP chemistry. A combination of smaller sterics compared to the 12-vertex analogue, 45° preferred-orientation angle between the carboxylate planes and moderately low rotation barrier are held responsible for the uniqueness.
