A metallaborane of novel structure, [(Cp*Mo)(2)B3H3Se2{Fe(CO)(2)}(2){Fe(CO)(3)}(2)] (2; Cp* = eta(5)-C5Me5), with tetracapped pentagonal bipyramidal geometry, isolated from the reaction of [(Cp*Mo)(2)B4H4Se2], 1 with [Fe-2(CO)(9)]; the title compound exhibit an 11-vertex closo-cage geometry, having eight skeletal electron pairs (sep) and 98 valence electrons, appropriate for its geometric structure.
