Metallaboranes

Structural and Electronic Paradigms in Cluster Chemistry

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 87))

Abstract

Metallaboranes are true hybrid cluster systems that empirically join the polyhedral boranes with transition metal clusters. Although metallaborane chemistry, and metallacarborane chemistry, initially developed as a variation of metal-ligand coordination chemistry analogous to organometallic chemistry, it was the cluster electron counting rules and the associated isolobal principle that revealed interconnections between ostensibly unrelated molecules and defined the scope of the area. The subsequent synthetic developments, both rationalized and stimulated by these ideas, provide a convincing verification of the intrinsic chemical truths expressed by these rules. The variability in the isolobal behavior of a given metal fragment makes the chemistry associated with metallaboranes considerably richer than that of pure boranes or pure metal clusters of the same dimension. Consequently, metallaboranes require careful analysis of the connection between geometry and electronic structure. In this regard, the emerging metallaborane chemistry of the early transition metals provides interesting variations on the theme of cluster electron counting.
