Publisher Summary This is one of two articles in this volume that is concerned with the borane-carborane structural pattern. In the other, Williams has shown how the pattern reflects the coordination number preferences of the various atoms involved. The purpose of the present article is to note some bonding implications of the pattern, and to show its relevance to a wide range of other compounds, including metal clusters, metal-hydrocarbon 7∼ complexes, and various neutral or charged hydrocarbons. Boranes and carboranes may be regarded as cluster compounds in the sense defined by Cotton; they contain a finite group or skeleton of atoms held together entirely, mainly, or at least to a significant extent by bonding directly between those atoms, even though some other atoms may be associated intimately with the cluster. Examples of their structural pattern, however, can be found far beyond the confines of what is normally regarded as cluster chemistry, so this survey includes many systems not commonly referred to as clusters.
