---

Reaction of the novel thiopropyl-closo-1,2-carborane ligand bearing a pendant glycerol group HS(CH₂)₃CB₁₀H₁₀CCH₂OCH(CH₂OH)₂(L) with the labile platinum(II) precursor [Pt(MeCN)(terpy)](OTf)₂(terpy = 2,2:6,2-terpyridine; OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) affords the highly water-soluble platinum(II) complex [PtL(terpy)]OTf, the first example of a metal–carborane complex functionalised with a water-solubilising glycerol group.
