Abstract
Addition of a cobalt carbonyl fragment to (Cp*Ru)(3)(mu -N)(2)B3H6 leads to hydrogen loss and formation of the highly condensed (Cp*Ru)(3)Co(CO)(2)(mu 3-CO)-B3H3 cluster. Viewed as a 60-electron tetranuclear metal cluster with six M-M bonds, it completes the series: 64-electron (CpCo)(4)B4H4 with fou r M-M bonds; 68-electron (CpNi)(4)B4R4 with two M-M bonds.
