K. Wade noted a relationship between the number of bonding electron pairs and the stoichiometry of boron hydride structures, which matched R.E. Williams' classification of the boranes into three main structural categories: Those clusters in which boron atoms occupy n vertices of an n-cornered closed polyhedron = closo-boranes (BnHn2-). Those whereupon boron atoms occupy n vertices of an (n+1)-cornered closed polyhedron = nido-boranes (BnHn+4). And those clusters in which boron atoms occupy n vertices of an (n+2)-cornered closed polyhedron = arachno-boranes (BnHn+6). 2, record 1, English, - closo%2Dborane

Varied conditions yield a multitude of polyhedral boranes. ... Structures: - Closo-boranes (BnHn2-): (Greek "closo" = cage): Complete polyhedron. - Nido-boranes (BnHn4-: (Latin "nidus" = nest): Structures lack one vertex. - Arachno-boranes (BnHn6-: "Spiderweb" structures lacking two vertices. - Hypho-boranes (BnHn8-): "Net" structures lacking three vertices. - Conjuncto-boranes: "Joined subunit" structures, in which 2 or more of the above type are linked through a B-B or B-H-B bonds, or by a B atom. 3, record 1, English, - closo%2Dborane

Le mot de borane désigne des hydrures de bore, ainsi que des composés organiques de formule générale BH3R~ résultant de la substitution d'un ou de plusieurs atomes d'hydrogène du borane le plus simple BH. [...] Le bore, élément très léger, se distingue par une grande aptitude à former des dérivés hydrogénés de structures très variées : les atomes de bore peuvent en effet former des assemblages triangulaires (closoboranes), des chaînes ayant l'aspect d'un nid (nidoboranes) ou d'une toile d'araignée (arachnoboranes), et des dimères que l'on nomme conjonctoboranes. 3, record 1, French, - closo%2Dborane
