eng Electron-rich 10-vertex Carborane Clusters and their Reactivity The chemistry of heteroborane clusters is a part of modern inorganic chemistry. They are built of electronically deficient two-electron three-centred bonds with the overall charge being neutral or negative. Despite tens of thousands of published compounds, the positively charged species remained elusive for a long time. In 2021, we described the first thermally robust cationic carboranes supported by bulky N-heterocyclic carbenes.1 In this work, the reactivity of 10-vertex closo-dicarbaboranes with different N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCDipp, NHCCy, NHCiPr) to 10-vertex nido-dicarboranes-bis-carbene adducts will be discussed as along with their structural rearrangements to thermodynamically stable products. The reactivity of such electron-rich clusters with various acids, transition metal complexes and main group compounds will be presented as well
