Make the weak bonds first : Addition of carbon to a metallaborane rather than a metal to a carborane permits the isolation of metallacarboranes with a) identical compositions and different shapes, b) an exocluster bridging boryl group (see picture), and c) isomers with two CMe or CH and CEt fragments.
