Molecular wheels of eight-and nine-atom boron clusters have been observed by photoelectron spectroscopy and their structures confirmed by DFT calculations. 1 The first cationic terminal borylene, containing a FeLB double bond, [Cp*Fe(CO) 2 -(Bmesityl)][BAr f4 ] has been synthesised. DFT calculations support a bonding model in which boron engages in p-bonding to both [Cp*Fe(CO) 2 ] 1 and mesityl moieties. 2 The first thirteen vertex carborane has been prepared by successive reduction of 1,2-m-{C 6 H 4 (CH 2 ) 2 }-1,2-closo-C 2 B 10 H 10 with Na to afford the [7,8-m-{C 6 H 4 (CH 2 ) 2 }-7,8-nido-C 2 B 10 H 10 ] 22 ion followed by addition of PhBCl 2 to give the unprecedented 13-vertex carborane 1,2-m-{C 6 H 4 (CH 2 ) 2 }-3-Ph-1,2-C 2 B 11 H 10 which has a henicosahedral structure. 3
