<John David Kennedy> coauthored research with <Norman Greenwood> and <David Reed> on reactions of the octahydrotriborate anion with transition-metal complexes. The work characterizes a borallyl iridium product, connecting boron-hydride cluster chemistry with metal coordination.
A cluster fragment can bind a metal through more than one atom. Establishing that connectivity requires evidence about the actual product, rather than assuming that every boron-hydride reagent retains its starting geometry.<Reactions of the octahydrotriborate(1-) anion, B3H8-, with some complexes of cobalt(I), cobalt(II), rhodium(I), and iridium(I), and the characterization of the borallyl complex IrIII(eta3-B3H7)(CO)H(PPh3)2 by Norman N. Greenwood and others>[Abstract: reactions and characterized borallyl iridium product]{ref}
