The hydroalumination of aluminum ethynides leads to the formation of carbaalanes as a new class of compounds, which have clusters exclusively formed by carbon and aluminum atoms. Two novel carbaalanes with Al 7 C 5 and Al 7 C 4 clusters are described—the latter is a remarkable analogue of closo ‐[B 11 H 11 ] 2− with respect to its structure and the number of cluster electrons.
