Abstract
The compound reported in 1971 as the first tricarba-closo-octaborane, C3B5H7, and thought to contain a framework carbon atom with no termina l hydrogen, is now shown to be the parent dicarba-closo-heptaborane, 2 ,3-C2B5H7. It is suggested that this compound is probably an intermedi ate in the conversion of nido-2,3-C2B4H8 to closo-2,4-C2B5H7.
