The seventeen- and eighteen-electron metallacarbaboranes [1,1,1-(CO)3-2-Ph-closo-1,2-MnCB9H9]n- (n = 1, 2): a structurally characterized, redox-related pair.
An eleven-vertex manganese-monocarbaborane dianion, upon one-electron oxidation, gives a stable radical monoanion in which the unpaired electron is delocalized over the cluster.
