Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A neutral metallaborane</bold> comprising a Rh₄B₁₂ polyhedron with icosioctahedron geometry with 16 vertices and 28 triangular faces was prepared (see structure; Rh: red, B: green). The cage has the shape of a 12‐membered truncated tetrahedron with four capped hexagonal faces.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v8wsz6p" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
