The tetraaryl μ-hydridodiborane(4) anion [2H]<sup>-</sup> possesses nucleophilic B-B and B-H bonds. Treatment of K[2H] with the electrophilic 9-H-9-borafluorene (HBFlu) furnishes the B<sub>3</sub> cluster K[3], with a triangular boron core linked through two BHB two-electron, three-center bonds and one electron-precise B-B bond, reminiscent of the prominent [B<sub>3</sub> H<sub>8</sub> ]<sup>-</sup> anion. Upon heating or prolonged stirring at room temperature, K[3] rearranges to a slightly more ...[more]
