Although Lipscomb predicted in 1977 that supra-icosahedral boron clusters would be viable,
their synthesis has been impeded by the unavailability of appropriate synthetic …

The ubiquitous chemistry of benzene led us to explore ways to stabilise analogous
borozene, by cap** them with appropriate groups. The mismatch in overlap of ring‐cap …

Transition metal triple‐decker complexes are an interesting class of sandwich complexes
that engrossed great attention due to their structures and properties. Over the decades …

In an attempt to isolate boron-containing tri-niobium polychalcogenide species, we have
carried out prolonged thermolysis reactions of [Cp* NbCl4](Cp*= ɳ 5-C5Me5) with four …

Since the pioneering electron counting rule for borane clusters was proposed by Wade, the
structures and bonding of boron clusters and their derivatives have been elegantly …

Unusual hypoelectronic closo-clusters such as icosahedral [(Cp* Ti) 3 (B9H7)(µ3-H)(µ3-Cl)
2](1) and tetracapped tetrahedral [{(Cp* Ti) 3B}(µ3-BH3) 2 (µ3-Te) 2](2), have been …

Over time, cluster growth reactions for higher nuclearity clusters transformed into the main
goal in polyhedral metallaborane and metallaheteroborane chemistry. Metallaboranes and …

A series of metal-rich clusters of group 9 containing boride or borylene units have been
isolated and structurally characterized. The thermolysis reaction of arachno-[IrCp* H 2 (B 3 H …

The reactivity of κ2‐N, S‐chelated ruthenium borate complexes,[Ru (PPh3)(κ2‐N, S‐
(NC7H4S2) Ru {κ3‐H, S, S′‐H2B (NC7H4S2) 2}](1 a) and [Ru (PPh3)(κ2‐N, S …

Abstract Diborane (6), generally known as diborane, is highly reactive and versatile reagent
with large number of applications. Although known for more than a century, recent years …
