Abstract

Two new mixed-metal metallaborane clusters, Cp* 3-Ru 2IrB 5H 9 and Cp* 3Ru 2IrB 5H 5, were isolated from the reaction of an iridaborane with a ruthenaborane. The structures show the former to have an unusual nido eight-atom cluster shape with a low electron count and the latter to have the expected bicapped-octahedral geometry.
