Abstract
Coupled cluster: An unprecedented 2,3,4,5-tetracarba-1,6-nido-hexaborane(6) cluster is accessible from a borole precursor in two steps involving a mild reduction process. The title compound consists of a perphenylated cluster framework, which is linked to an exo-polyhedral boracycle. This was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.
