Hydroalumination of an aluminum alkynide led to the formation of a polyhedral carbaalane as the first example of a new class of aluminum derivatives analogous to carbaboranes. A pentacarbatridecaalane was obtained, which has an Al 8 C 5 skeleton and which, owing to the number of electrons in the cluster, belongs to the arachno ‐type group of compounds (see structure).
