Conspectus Carboranes are a class of polyhedral carbon–boron molecular clusters
featuring three-dimensional aromaticity, which are often considered as 3D analogues of …

Carboranes, a class of carbon–boron molecular clusters, are often viewed as three-
dimensional analogues of benzene. They are finding increasing applications as useful …

Carboranes are a class of carbon-boron molecular clusters, possessing extraordinary
characteristics including three-dimensional aromaticity conjugated by σ-bonds, icosahedral …

Over the past several decades, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling has emerged as a very
powerful strategy to functionalize carbon-based molecules. More recently, some of the cross …

Carboranes are a class of carbon–boron molecular clusters with unusual thermal and
chemical stabilities. They have been proved as very useful building blocks in …

A proof-of-principle study of cascade dehydrogenative cross-coupling of carboranyl
carboxylic acid with readily available benzamide has been achieved, resulting in the facile …

The B (9)-H halogenation of o-carborane and m-carborane was achieved with excellent
selectivities in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) under simple reaction conditions: single …

A palladium‐catalyzed highly selective 3, 4‐bifunctionalization of 3‐I‐o‐carborane has been
developed, leading to the preparation of 3‐alkenyl‐4‐R‐o‐carboranes (R= alkyl, alkynyl …

A proof-of-concept example of catalytic regioselective cage B (8)–H functionalization of o-
carboranes has been disclosed for the first time. Under the help of an acylamino directing …

Palladium-catalyzed regioselective di-or mono-arylation of o-carboranes was achieved
using weakly coordinating amides at room temperature. Therefore, a series of B (3, 4) …
