A review on recent developments in the chemistry of ten-vertex dicarbaboranes is presented. This chemistry is essentially derived from that of the nido-5,6-C 2 B 8 H 12 dicarbaborane, the most significant compound of the 10-vertex dicarbaborane series. This carborane gave rise to all the three closo-C 2 B 8 H 10 isomers and to arachno-6,9-C 2 B 8 H 14 that serve as substrates for various reactions outlined in this work. Individual chemical transformations are discussed within the context of possible reaction mechanisms and NMR consequences. The work demonstrates that this chemistry resulted in the isolation of the whole series of other compounds that may now start playing ever increasing role in developing new carborane chemistry in this almost forgotten area.
