Core subjects: Two new early transition metal (Zr or Hf)–protected octaborane derivatives, [(Cp₂MBH₃)₂B₈H₆] (Cp=η⁵-C₅H₅; M=Zr (1-Zr) and Hf (1-Hf)) have been isolated and structurally characterized. The solid-state structures of both 1-Zr and 1-Hf comprise a B₈ dodecahedron core protected by {Cp₂MBH₃} moieties on both sides of the cluster. The spectroscopic data also validate the intactness of the B₈ dodecahedron core in the solution as well.
