A new nido-5-vertex cluster, phosphacarba-nido-pentaborane, 2-tBu-1,2-PCB3H5.
The gas-phase reaction of the phosphaalkyne P identical to CtBu with tetraborane(10), B4H10, yields the nido five-vertex phosphacarbaborane cluster compound 2-tBu-1,2-PCB3H5 2 with an unusual 31P NMR peak shift of -500.5 ppm.
