Attempts to construct metallaboranes via cluster expansion reactions with metal carbonyl complexes sometimes result in unexpected products. For example, reaction of B3H7(Cp*RuH)2 and Mo(CO)3(CH3CN)3 results in B2H6(Cp*RuCO)2 without any incorporation of the Mo(CO)3 fragment (K. Geetharani; S. K. Bose; B. Varghese; S. Ghosh, Chem. Eur. J. 2010, 16, 11357). Classify these metalloboranes as closo, nido, or arachno. Does B2H6(Cp*RuCO)2 react similarly with the group 7 carbonyls Mn2(CO)10 and Re2(CO)10? Sketch the products of these reactions (K. Geetharani; S. K. Bose, S. Sahoo, B. Varghese; S. M. Mobin, S. Ghosh, Inorg. Chem., 2011, 50, 5824).
