Unprecedented formation of polycyclic diazadiborepine derivatives through cage deboronation of m-carborane.

An unprecedented deboronation reaction of icosahedral carboranes is described, in which a BH group of m-carborane is detached from the cage and incorporated into an unusual nido-carborane-anellated diazadiborepine ring system.
