The chemistry of transition metal complexes containing bulky and stable o-carborane unit
has developed greatly in the past few decades. The recent discovery in this field of many …

Icosahedral closo-dodecaboranes have the ability to accept two electrons, opening into a
dianionic nido-cluster. This transformation can be utilized to store electrons, drive bond …

Two compounds containing a Sn (II) atom supported by a bidentate biscarborane ligand
have been synthesized via salt metathesis. The synthetic procedures for (bc) Sn· THF (bc= 1 …

The accurate selection of a ligand for a metal-catalyzed homogeneous reaction can be as
decisive as the selection of the metal. Incorporating a carborane cage as a backbone to …

Fifteen C-diazaborolyl-ortho-carboranes, 1-R′-2-R′′-1, 2-C2B10H10, where R′
represents the groups 2-(1, 3-Et2-1, 3, 2-N2BC6H4)-, 2-(1, 3-Ph2-1, 3, 2-N2BC6H4)-, 2-(1, 3 …

A facile approach to the synthesis of diaryl‐and dialkyl‐substituted monophosphino‐o‐
carboranes by rhodium (I)‐catalyzed phosphine‐directed B3, 6− H activation has been …

The synthesis of [1, 1′-bis (o-carboranyl)] boranes was achieved through the deprotonation
of 1, 1′-bis (o-carborane) reagents followed by salt metathesis with (iPr) 2NBCl2. X-ray …

We report the synthesis of two isomeric Pt (II) complexes ligated by doubly deprotonated 1,
1′-bis (o-carborane)(bc). The κ2-C, C-bound isomer (3a) is generated through salt …

Conjugation between a 3-D icosahedral carborane and a fused 2-D π-ring system is
ambiguous. To address this issue, we prepared several carborane-fused carbo-and …

Carbon atom functionalization via generation of carbanions is the cornerstone of carborane
chemistry. In this work, we report the synthesis and structural characterization of free ortho …
