<Norman Greenwood> coauthored research on the reactions of boron-hydride clusters with <cobalt>, <rhodium>, and <iridium> complexes. A reported borallyl iridium product illustrates how a cluster can become a multidentate <ligand>.
The chemistry extends the usual picture of a <ligand> as a single atom donating one electron pair. Several atoms of a cluster fragment can participate in bonding, so cluster identity and coordination mode must both be specified.<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 and reported product]{ref}
