, 14 Although our aim was to isolate Te incorporated metallahetroborane clusters, we were able to isolate compounds 2 and 3 in poor yields. Note that the 11 B NMR of the reaction mixture indicated several boron containing products, however we were unable to isolate any of these due to their instability. Compound 3 was isolated in a very poor yield and all our attempts to reproduce this molecule were failed. Thus, compound 3 was characterized by limited spectroscopic data
