The duals of the polyhedra for the deltahedral boranes BnHn2- (n = 6, 8, 10, 12) have the same geometries as those of symmetric skyrmions arising from the non-linear field theory of a system of interacting mesons and B = 1/2 (n + 2) baryon (proton and/or neutron) sources within a nucleus. In the application of such a skyrmion model to the skeletal chemical bonding in deltahedral boranes, acetylenic HB equivalent to BH units are considered to be the analogues of the mesons and the chemical interactions between the HB equivalent to BH units necessary to construct deltahedra with even numbers of boron atoms are considered to be analogues of baryons.
