Icosahedral boranes, carboranes, and metallacarboranes are extraordinarily robust
compounds with desirable properties such as thermal and redox stability, chemical …

The regioselective derivatization of the monocarba-closo-dodecaborate anion via catalytic B–
H bond activation is reported. Amide directing groups in combination with rhodium and …

A set of triads in which o‐and m‐carborane clusters are bonded to two stilbene units through
Ccluster− CH2 bonds was synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by X‐ray …

The preparation and full characterization of an iridium complex of the monocarba-closo-
dodecaborate anion is reported. It was prepared by B–H bond activation using a tosyl amide …

High melting point and hardness of boron carbide make it extremely difficult to be directly
prepared as hollow microsphere. However, precursor derived method is an effective …

The crystal structure of the deprotonated monocarba-closo-dodecaborate [12-CN-
CB11H11]− is reported. This dianion, featuring a delocalized endohedral negative charge …

Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) is a zinc metalloprotease on the surface of astrocytes
which cleaves N-acetylaspartylglutamate to release N-acetylaspartate and glutamate. GCPII …

Rhodium‐and palladium‐induced B2–H activation of a derivative of the monocarba‐closo‐
dodecaborate [CB11H12]–afforded two new transition metal complexes of this cluster. The …

B4C ceramic is one of widely used ceramics with properties of low density, high hardness,
high thermal-stability and high neutron absorption cross-section. However, the high melting …

Radical polymerization reaction of carborane monomer closo-1-R-2-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1, 2-C 2
B 10 H 10 (R= Me (1), Ph (2)) produced carboranyl-functionalized polystyrenes, poly (1-R-2 …
