Abstract
Geometric and molecular orbital analyses of the metallaboranes (CpRe) (2)B7H7 and (CpW)(2)B7H9, which display unusual, but identical, core structures and skeletal electron pair counts of n - 2, demonstrate a c lose connection between these molecular compounds and anionic, hypoele ctronic main-group clusters found in the solid state.
