Summary

Description

Ball-and-stick models showing structures of the boron skeletons of borane clusters. The numbering indicates the number of vertices in each closo cluster. The nido and arachno clusters derived from each closo cluster are shown alongside.

For an explanation of the concepts, see polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory.

For context, see Alan J. Welch, "The significance and impact of Wade’s rules", Chem. Commun. (2013) 49, 3615-3616.

The diagram is based on the following crystal structures:
