The azadiboridine (1) gives 1:1 adducts with the mercaptoboranes BH2(SR), which can be generated from their cyclotrimers by the action of THF.The adduct 4a (R = Ph), a nido cluster with an NB3 skeleton, forms an equilibrium with an adduct 5a, an arachno cluster with an SNB3 skeleton, whose S-bound ligand Ph is found in an endo position by an X-ray structural analysis.The equilibrium 4a ->/a Lewis acid-base reaction, which is electronically coupled to a reduction of a three-center to give a two-center ? bond.The reaction of 1 with BH2(SPr) gives the corresponding arachno cluster 5b only. - Keywords: Azadiboridine, tri-tert-butyl-; Mercaptoborane; Thiaaza-arachno-pentaborane, 1,4,5-tri-tert-butyl-2-organo-
