Abstract
A neutral metallaborane comprising a Rh4B12 polyhedron with icosioctahedron geometry with 16 vertices and 28 triangular faces was prepared (see structure; Rh: red, B: green). The cage has the shape of a 12-membered truncated tetrahedron with four capped hexagonal faces. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
