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

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 …

A mini-review based on radial growing macromolecules and core initiated Borane periphery
decorated with o-carboranes and metallacarboranes that has been developed in the authors …

Two sets of o‐carborane derivatives incorporating fluorene and anthracene fragments as
fluorophore groups have been successfully synthesized and characterized, and their …

Sonogashira− Hagihara polycondensations of two bis (4-iodophenyl) carborane compounds
with axially chiral diyne monomers having binaphthyl unit were carried out to obtain the …

A set of neutral and anionic carborane derivatives in which the styrenyl fragment is
introduced as a fluorophore group has been successfully synthesized and characterized …

Novel polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) or octasilsesquioxanes with
carboranyl–styrene fragments attached to each corner are described. These compounds …

A mild protocol for the palladium-catalyzed Buchwald− Hartwig amidation of icosahedral
carboranes is described. Employing 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′-(N, N-dimethylamino) …

A series of m-carborane-based π-conjugated polymers were successfully synthesized via
Sonogashira− Hagihara polycondensation reaction. Diiodo-m-carborane monomer …

A new set of four different fluorescent boron-rich hybrids based on an octasilsesquioxane
core (T8) are presented herein. The syntheses have been carried out starting from styrene …
