Abstract
A polyhedral borane cluster consists essentially of a fused polyhedron including an open decaborane cage fused to a closed dodecaborane cluster wherein borane atoms are not an integral part of the cluster vertices. The polyhedral borane cluster can be contained within a biomolecule for use as a neutron capture reagent. A method of synthesizing the polyhedral borane cluster includes the step of fusing an open decaborane cage to a closed dodecaborane cluster.
