Classically closo-carborane anions, particularly [HCB11H11]− and [HCB9H9]−, and their
derivatives have primarily been used as weakly coordinating anions to isolate reactive …

Boron cluster anions attract the interest of chemists because of their electronic structures,
geometry, and chemical behavior. These weak coordinating ligands allow one to vary their …

This Viewpoint describes major advances pertaining to perfunctionalized boron clusters in
synthesis and their respective applications. The first portion of this work highlights key …

Activation of B–H groups of polyhedral boron hydrides (boranes and carboranes) is one of
the most actively developing areas of boron chemistry and is of considerable interest for …

Perhalogenated closo‐borates represent a new class of membrane carriers. They owe this
activity to their chaotropicity, which enables the transport of hydrophilic molecules across …

This review systematizes data on the coordination ability of mono-and disubstituted
derivatives of boron cluster anions and carboranes in complexation with transition metals …

Closo-borates and carba-closo-borates recently emerged as a promising class of solid
electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries but are too expensive. Here, we introduce NaB11H14 …

Abstract Closo‐decahydrodecaborate anion,[B10H10] 2−, is one of the most notable clusters
in the family of hydroborates, partly attributed to its unique electronic structure and its …

Data on compounds based on cage structures―boron clusters (polyhedral boron hydrides,
carboranes, metallacarboranes) and compounds of the adamantane series, which possess …

Data on the synthesis and structures of Zn (II) and Cd (II) complexes with boron cluster
anions [B n H n] 2–(n= 6, 10, 12), their substituted derivatives, as well as analogs …
