A standard goal of medicinal chemists has been to discover efficient and potent drug
candidates with specific enzyme-inhibitor abilities. In this regard, boron-based bioactive …

Small boron clusters as individual species in the gas phase are reviewed. While the family of
known boron compounds is rich and diverse, a large body of hitherto unknown chemistry of …

Carboranes, Third Edition, by Russell Grimes, is the definitive resource on the subject.
Completely updated with a wealth of research and review articles published in this active …

The capacity of boron to catenate and form selfbonded complex molecular networks is as
extensive as any element except for carbon. However, the principles of structure and …

Conspectus Unlike carbon, boron does not usually form ring compounds due to its electron-
deficiency-driven affinity toward polyhedral geometries. The polyhedral boranes having …

Comprehensive ab initio calculations RMP2 (fc)/6-31G* on the closo-monocarbaboranes,
CB n-1H n-(n= 5− 12), and the closo-dicarboranes, C2B n-2H n (n= 5− 12), show that the …

A generally applicable electron-counting rule the mno rule that integrates macropolyhedral
boranes, metallaboranes, and metallocenes and any combination thereof is presented …

Among several theoretical tools available for investigating the molecular structure, there is
always a balance between simplicity and reliability. While detailed electronic structure …

A novel program for the search of global minimum structures of atomic clusters and
molecules in the gas phase, AUTOMATON, is introduced in this work. This program involves …

Carboranes are a class of carbon-containingpolyhe-dral boron-cluster compounds that have
been known since the 1960s1, 2 as a relatively younger subdiscipline of boron cluster …
