Based on extensive global-minimum searches and first-principles electronic structure calculations, we present the viability of an endohedral metalloborospherene C-s Ca@B-38 (1) which contains a C-s B-38(2-) (2) dianion composed of interwoven boron double chains with a sigma + pi double delocalization bonding pattern, extending the B-n(q) (q = n - 40) borospherene family from n = 39-42 to n = 38. Transition metal endohedral complexes C-s M@B-38 (M = Sc, Y, Ti) (3, 5, 7) based on C-s B-38(2-) (2) are also predicted.
