已经阐明了多种合成二苯基nido-卡巴烯的路线[7,9-Ph₂-7,9-nido-C₂B₉H₁₀]。通过碱引起的1,7-Ph₂-1,7-closso-C₂B₁₀H₁₀的降解,获得了两个可分离的产物[NEt₃H][7,9-Ph₂-x-OEt-7,9-nido-C₂B₉H₉](x = 3或2),这两者都含有一个乙氧基取代的笼结构。通过单晶X射线衍射研究确定了1a的结构身份。
氟离子引起的降解得到了一个产物,被赋予为[NBu₄][7,9-Ph₂-10-OH-7,9-nido-C₂B₉H₉] 2,也通过晶体学进行了研究。在真空中封闭管内将Cs[7,8-Ph₂-7,8-nido-C₂B₉H₁₀]固体样品加热4小时至300°C,获得了目标物种[NEt₃H][7,9-Ph₂-7,9-nido-C₂B₉H₁₀] 3,经过阳离子交换反应。3的去质子化反应与[PtCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₂]反应,得到了新化合物1,1-(PMe₂Ph)₂-2,4-Ph₂-1,2,4-closso-PtC₂B₉H₉ 4。化合物4通过多核(¹H, ¹¹B和³¹P-¹H}) NMR光谱以及单晶X射线衍射研究进行了表征。该稳定化合物在回流
