Abstract
Since the pioneering electron counting rule for borane clusters was proposed by Wade, the structures and bonding of boron clusters and their derivatives have been elegantly rationalised. However, this rule and its modified versions faced problems explaining the electronic structures of less spherical deltahedra, unlike the core geometries of borate dianions [BnHn]2- (n = 6-12). Herein, we report the isolation of a series of osmaborane clusters [(Cp*Os)2BnHn], 1-5, (n = 6-10) by the thermolysis of an in situ generated intermediate, obtained from the rapid condensation of [Cp*OsBr2]2 and [LiBH4·THF], with [BH3·THF] or [BH3·SMe2]. Interestingly, all these clusters show unusual less spherical deltahedral shapes that can be generated from canonical [BnHn]2- (n = 8-12) shapes by doing diamond-square-diamond (DSD) rearrangements. The DSD rearrangements led to the generation of higher degree vertices, which are occupied by Os atoms and also generated Os-Os bonds in these clusters. Theoretical calculations revealed that these Cp*Os⋯OsCp* interactions in clusters 1-5 played a crucial role in their structural shape and electron count. These less spherical deltahedral clusters are rare, and most significantly, clusters 1-5 with (n-1) skeleton electron pairs (SEPs) do not follow Wade-Mingos electron counting rules and can be classified as hypoelectronic closo clusters.

Abstract
In an effort to explore the coordination chemistry of the coordinative sulfur centers in arachno-ruthenaborane [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H8)(CS2H)] (arachno-1), we have thermolyzed arachno-1 with group-6 metal carbonyls [M(CO)5·THF] (M = Cr, Mo and W). The reaction of arachno-1 with [Cr(CO)5·THF] resulted in the formation of hetero-trimetallic triply bridging borylene [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO)(μ3-CH2S2-κ2S':κ2S''){Cr(CO)3}(μ3-BH)] (2), bridging boryl-borylene [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO){(μ3-BH(CH2S2)-κ2B:κ2S':κ1S'')}{Cr(CO)3}(μ3-BH)] (3), and sulfido bridged hetero-trimetallic complex [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO)3{Cr(CO)3}(μ3-S)] (4). In 2, one side of Ru2Cr-triangle features a μ3-BH ligand while the other side is quadruply bridged by a methanedithiolato ligand in an unsymmetrical fashion. Unlike 2, in complex 3, one side of the Ru2Cr-triangle has a μ3-BH ligand while the opposite side is bridged by a boryl ligand BH(CH2S2) in an unsymmetrical way (μ3-κ2:κ2:κ1) to the metal centers. Interestingly, when the similar reactions of arachno-1 were performed with heavier group-6 metal carbonyls [M(CO)5·THF] (M = Mo and W), it led to the formation of methanedithiolato bridged hetero-trimetallic chain complexes, [{Cp*Ru(CO)}2(μ-CO)2(μ3-CH2S2-κ2S':κ2S''){M(CO)2}] (5, M = Mo; 6, M = W) and sulfido-bridged hetero-trimetallic complexes [(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO)3{M(CO)3}(μ3-S)] (7, M = Mo; 8, M = W), analogous to 4. In complexes 5 and 6, a Ru2M-chain is symmetrically bridged by a methanedithiolato ligand. On the other hand, in complexes 4, 7, and 8, a sulfido ligand coordinates to two ruthenium and one group-6 metal atoms in μ3-fashion. All the complexes have been characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-vis, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry and their structural architectures have been unambiguously established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In addition, theoretical investigations provided valuable insights into their electronic structures and bonding properties.

Abstract
Transition metal triple-decker complexes are an interesting class of sandwich complexes that engrossed great attention due to their structures and properties. Over the decades, synthesis of triple-decker complexes featuring homocyclic, heterocyclic or π-conjugated rings as middle decks have been abundantly reported. In this regard, the chemistry of such complexes bearing boron in the middle deck are well explored due to the ability of boron-containing cycles to readily coordinate bifacially with metal atoms thereby forming triple-decker complexes. On the other hand, electron counting rules and theoretical calculations have strengthened our knowledge of the structure and bonding in these complexes. Further, these complexes can be used as synthons to generate organometallic polymers having interesting electronic, optical and magnetic properties that can be appropriately tuned to cater to a wide range of applications. In our quest for novel metallaboranes and metallaheteroboranes, we have been successful in isolating various triple-decker complexes that feature boron in the middle deck. This review explained elaborately the synthesis, structures, and bonding in such complexes reported by us and others.

Abstract
The synthesis and structural elucidation of a series of ruthenium diborane and triborane compounds are described. Treatment of [Cp*Ru(PPh3)2Cl] (1) (Cp* = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; PPh3 = triphenylphosphine) with [BH3·THF] (THF = tetrahydrofuran) at 60 °C led to the formation of the hydrogen-rich ruthena-octahydrotetraborane arachno-[2-{Cp*Ru(PPh3)B3H8}] (2). The chemistry of 2 is explored with [Fe2(CO)9] at room temperature, which resulted in the formation of a metal-stabilized triborane species, [{Cp*Ru(PPh3)}(μ3-η1:η2:η2-B3H6){Fe2(CO)7}] (3). Compound 3 can be considered as a triborane analogue [B3H6]3- that stabilizes in the coordination sphere of two iron and one ruthenium atoms. Further, the photolysis of nido-[1,2-(Cp*Ru)2(μ-H)2(B3H7)] (4) with [M(CO)5·THF] (M = Mo and W) afforded an arachno-[1,2-(Cp*Ru)(Cp*RuCO)(μ-H)(B3H8)] (5), in which the [M(CO)5·THF] acted as a CO source. In an attempt to convert arachno-5 into a closo or nido species, we have pyrolyzed arachno-5 in toluene at 90 °C for 20 h that afforded nido-[2,3-(Cp*Ru)2(μ-CO)(μ3-H)(B3H6)] (6) having two ruthenium atoms at the basal position. Irradiation of arachno-5 with an intermediate generated from CS2 and [LiBH4·THF] in THF afforded the diborane(5) species [(Cp*RuCO)(Cp*Ru)(μ-H)(μ-η1:η2-B2H4)(CS2H)] (7) in which a dithioformato ligand (SHC═S) is attached to one Ru-B bond. Compound 7 can be considered as a diborane(5) species, which is stabilized by a dithioformato ligand. All the synthesized compounds have been characterized by employing electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, multinuclear NMR, and IR spectroscopy techniques. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of compounds 2, 3, 6, and 7 helped to establish the structural integrity of these compounds. Further, density functional theory studies were performed to provide insight into the bonding of these metal-stabilized diborane and triborane species.

Abstract
In an attempt to isolate boron-containing tri-niobium polychalcogenide species, we have carried out prolonged thermolysis reactions of [Cp*NbCl4] (Cp* = ɳ5-C5Me5) with four equivalents of Li[BH2E3] (E = Se or S). In the case of the heavier chalcogen (Se), the reaction led to the isolation of the tri-niobium cubane-like cluster [(NbCp*)3(μ3-Se)3(BH)(μ-Se)3] (1) and the homocubane-like cluster [(NbCp*)3(μ3-Se)3(μ-Se)3(BH)(μ-Se)] (2). Interestingly, the tri-niobium framework of 1 stabilizes a selenaborate {Se3BH}− ligand. A selenium atom is further introduced between boron and one of the selenium atoms of 1 to yield cluster 2. On the other hand, the reaction with the sulfur-containing borate adduct [LiBH2S3] afforded the trimetallic clusters [(NbCp*)3(μ-S)4{μ-S2(BH)}] (3) and [(NbCp*)3(μ-S)4{μ-S2(S)}] (4). Both clusters 3 and 4 have an Nb3S6 core, which further stabilizes {BH} and mono-sulfur units, respectively, through bi-chalcogen coordination. All of these species were characterized by 11B{1H}, 1H, and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Moreover, theoretical investigations revealed that the triangular Nb3 framework is aromatic in nature and plays a vital role in the stabilization of the borate, borane, and chalcogen units.

Abstract
Low-valent titanium species were prepared by reaction of [TiCp*X3 ] (Cp*=η5 -C5 Me5 ; X=Cl, Br, Me) with LiEH4 (E=Al, B) or BH3 (thf), and their structures elucidated by experimental and theoretical methods. The treatment of trihalides [TiCp*X3 ] with LiAlH4 in ethereal solvents (L) leads to the hydride-bridged heterometallic complexes [{TiCp*(μ-H)}2 {(μ-H)2 AlX(L)}2 ] (L=thf, X=Cl, Br; L=OEt2 , X=Cl). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations for those compounds reveal an open-shell singlet ground state with a Ti-Ti bond and can be described as titanium(II) species. The theoretical analyses also show strong interactions between the Ti-Ti bond and the empty s orbitals of the Al atom of the AlH2 XL fragments, which behave as σ-accepting (Z-type) ligands. Analogous reactions of [TiCp*X3 ] with LiBH4 (2 and 3 equiv.) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature and at 85 °C lead to the titanium(III) compounds [{TiCp*(BH4 )(μ-X)}2 ] (X=Cl, Br) and [{TiCp*(BH4 )(μ-BH4 )}2 ], respectively. The treatment of [TiCp*Me3 ] with 4 and 5 equiv. of BH3 (thf) produces the diamagnetic [{TiCp*(BH3 Me)}2 (μ-B2 H6 )] and paramagnetic [{TiCp*(μ-B2 H6 )}2 ] complexes, respectively.

Abstract
To establish a procedure for single-cage cluster expansion of open cage dimetallaoctaboranes(12), we have investigated the chemistry of nido-[(Cp*M)2B6H10] (η5-C5Me5 = Cp*, 1: M = Co; 2: M = Rh), with diverse chalcogen-based borate ligands. As a result, treatment of nido-1 and nido-2 with Li[BH2E3] (E = S, Se, or Te) yielded 10-vertex nido-[(Cp*Co)2B7EH9] (3: E = S; 4: E = Se; 5: E = Te) along with known 10-vertex nido-[(Cp*M)2B6H6E2] (6: E = S, M = Co; 7: E = Se, M = Co; 8: E = Te, M = Co; 9: E = Se, M = Rh). The geometries of dimetallachalcogenaboranes, 3-9, are isostructural with decaborane(14). Thermolysis of nido-1 and nido-2 with an intermediate, generated from CS2 and [LiBH4]·THF reaction in THF, produced nido-[(Cp*M)2B6S2H4(CH2S2)] (10: M = Co; 11: M = Rh) and nido-[(Cp*M)2B6S2H4(CS3)] (12: M = Co; 13: M= Rh). Clusters 10-13 are rare species in which one of the B-B bonds is coordinated with a {CS2}2- or {CS3}2- ligand, generating di(thioborolane) {B2S2CH2} or di(thioboralane)-thione {B2CS3} moieties. To examine further the coordination chemistry of CS2-bridged decaborane(14) analogue nido-10, photolysis was carried out with {M(CO)5·THF} (M = Mo or W) that led to the isolation of [(Cp*Co)2B6S2H4(CH2S2){M(CO)5}] (14: M = Mo; 15: M = W), where the {CH2S2} moiety is coordinated with one {M(CO)5} moiety in η1-fashion. All the synthesized clusters have been characterized by ESI-mass, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy and structurally solved by single-crystal XRD. Furthermore, DFT calculations probe the bonding of these CS2- and CS3-bridged decaborane analogues.
