The utilization of carboranes in supramolecular chemistry has attracted considerable
attention. The unique spatial configuration and weak interaction forces of carboranes can …

Boron clusters and organic molecules display manifestly different electronic, physical,
chemical and geometrical characteristics. These differences highlight the complementarity of …

Separation of light hydrocarbons (C1–C9) represents one of the “seven chemical
separations to change the world”. Boron clusters can potentially play an important role in …

The predesignable porous structure and high structural flexibility of covalent organic
frameworks (COFs) render this material desirable as a platform for addressing various …

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 …

Develo** novel assembly methods for supramolecular compounds has long been a
research challenge. Herein, we describe how to integrate the B–C coupling reaction and …

Herein, we describe how to utilize dihydrogen bond interactions to achieve alkane
recognition and hexane isomer separation. A series of metallacycles based on carborane …

Novel hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties have prompted applications in
biomedical and other fields. The reported tough hydrogels are usually fabricated by …

This review covers two aspects concerning cooperativity in multiple weak bonds: a summary
of literature results and a theoretical study of a complete series of model complexes. All the …

Nickel bis (dicarbollide) is used as a fast, one-electron outer sphere redox couple in dye-
sensitized solar cells. Device performances with this anionic shuttle are investigated with …
