Carboranes are a class of polyhedral boron hydride clusters in which one or more of the BH vertices are replaced by CH units. Their chemistry has been dominated by 12-vertex carboranes for over half a century. In contrast, knowledge regarding supercarboranes (carboranes with more than 12 vertices) had been limited merely to possible cage geometries predicted by theoretical work before 2003.

The chemistry of boron clusters has been dominated by icosahedral carboranes for over half a century. Only in recent years has significant progress been made in the chemistry of supercarboranes (carboranes with more than 12 vertices). A number of CAd (carbon-atoms-adjacent) 13- and 14-vertex carboranes, and CAp (carbon-atoms-apart) 13-vertex carboranes as well as their corresponding 14- and 15-vertex metallacarboranes have been successfully prepared and structurally characterized.
