Abstract
The new ruthenaborane, CP3RU3B3H8, possesses a capped, five atom nido -cluster geometry rather than the more common octahedral geometry obse rved previously for seven skeletal electron pair M3B3 clusters. Compar ison with the known, isoelectronic closo-1,2,3-{CpCo}(3)B3H5 shows th at a more open capped geometry is favored as the number of endo-hydrog en atoms associated with the cluster framework increases.
