The preparation, structures, and chemistry of 11-vertex carboranes containing one to four skeletal carbon atoms are outlined, including nido -CB 10 H 13 − , closo -CB 10 H 11 − , closo -C 2 B 9 H 11 , nido -C 2 B 9 H 13 , nido -C 2 B 9 H 12 − , nido -C 2 B 9 H 11 2− , nido -C 3 B 8 H 12 , nido -C 3 B 8 H 11 − , hypho -C 3 B 8 H 15 − , nido -C 4 B 7 H 11 , and arachno -C 4 B 7 H 13 . The facile complexation of the open-cage species, especially nido -C 2 B 9 H 12 − and nido -C 2 B 9 H 11 2− , with metal ions to form 12-vertex metallacarboranes (detailed in Chapter 13 ) is noted, as is their boronation to regenerate the C 2 B 10 icosahedron.
