Increasingly pronounced hydrocarbon character is exhibited by C 6 H 6 B 12 , the first unsubstituted hexacarbaborane, and CH 3 C 5 B 7 H 12 , the first cluster pentacarbaborane. These compounds shed light on the structural dichotomy between open hydrocarbon skeletons and polyhedral borane frameworks for high‐carbon carboranes.
