In order to characterize the 2-electron 3-center hydride bridges in arachno-tetraborane, an experimental charge-density study was performed complemented with various theoretical calculations. The charge-density distribution and its topological properties were analyzed according to the "atoms in molecules" theory of Bader. The asymmetric bonding situation of the highly polarized hydride bridges is discussed in detail.

Unlike cyclopropanes, the analogous BC species (diboriranes) tend to adopt non-classical Hückel-aromatic structures with bridging moieties R between the boron atoms. The coordination of the thus generated cyclic 2e π-system to transition metals is completely unexplored. We here report that complexation of non-classical diboriranes cyclo-μ-RBDurCPh (R=H, SnMe; Dur=2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl) to Fe(CO) fragments allows for the carbonylative ring expansion of the BC ring to either four- or five-membered rings depending on the nature of the BRB 3-center-2-electron bond (3c2e): The H-bridged diborirane (R=H) initially reacts with Fe(CO) to the allylic π-complex with an agostic BH/Fe interaction.

The chemistry of dicationic and tricationic 2-norbornyl cations has been studied. A series of -heterocyclic functionalized norborneol substrates were prepared and ionization of these compounds in superacid provided superelectrophilic species. These highly charged 2-norbornyl cations were found to react with arene nucleophiles in high yields and stereoselectivity.

We report an original alkane elimination approach, entailing the protonolysis of triisobutylaluminum by the acidic hydrides from Cp*IrH. This strategy allows access to a series of well-defined tri- and tetranuclear iridium aluminum polyhydride clusters, depending on the stoichiometry: [Cp*IrHAl(Bu)] (), [Cp*IrHAl(Bu)] (), [(Cp*IrH)Al(Bu)] (), and [(Cp*IrH)Al] (). Contrary to most transition-metal aluminohydride complexes, which can be considered as [AlH] aluminates and LnM moieties, the situation here is reversed: These complexes have original structures that are best described as [Cp*IrH] iridate units surrounding cationic Al(III) fragments.

In this work, the largest heterometallic supertetrahedral clusters, [Zn Ge ] and [Cd Ge ] , were directly self-assembled through highly-charged [Ge ] units and transition metal cations, in which 3-center-2-electron σ bonding in Ge Zn or Ge Cd triangles plays a vital role in the stabilization of the whole structure. The cluster structures have an open framework with a large central cavity of diameter 4.6 Å for Zn and 5.

The dimetallic boron hydride cluster, (PMePh)PtBH (-Pt), is known to reversibly sequester small molecules (e.g., O, CO, and SO) across its Pt-Pt cluster vector.
