The exchange of the short and long diagonal of the B 4 diamond of 1 is the simplest variant to date of the diamond–square–diamond rearrangement, which plays a central role in the isomerization of polyhedral boranes, carboranes, and metallaboranes. Compound 2 , which is readily accessible from 1 , is the first derivative of pentaborane(7).
