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 …

Abstract The uranyl ion (UO22+; U (vi) oxidation state) is the most common form of uranium
found in terrestrial and aquatic environments and is a central component in nuclear fuel …

What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

In recent times, luminescent materials with tunable emission properties have found
applications in almost all aspects of modern material sciences. Any discussion on the recent …

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

A new class of organic− inorganic hybrid compounds bearing a cyclic π-ligand, an
icosahedral carborane moiety, and a bridging group has been developed. These are very …

Iridium catalyzed alkyne hydroboration with o-carborane cage B–H has been achieved,
leading to the formation of a series of 4-B-alkenylated-o-carborane derivatives in high yields …

The asymmetric synthesis of chiral-at-cage o-carboranes, whose chirality is associated with
the substitution patterns on the polyhedron, is of great interest as the icosahedral …

The construction and transformation of metal− carbon (M− C) bonds constitute the central
themes of organometallic chemistry. Most of the work in this field has focused on traditional …
