The structural significance of the number of skeletal bonding electron-pairs in carboranes, the higher boranes and borane anions, and various transition-metal carbonyl cluster compounds
Abstract
The skeletal structures of carboranes, the higher boranes and borane anions, and many transition-metal carbonyl cluster species are related to the number of skeletal bonding electron-pairs they contain; species with n skeletal atoms adopt closo-structures if held together by (n+ 1) pairs, nido-structures if held together by (n+ 2) pairs, and arachno-structures if held together by (n+ 3) pairs of skeletal bonding electrons.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
