This Review gives a comprehensive overview of the most topical weakly coordinating
anions (WCAs) and contains information on WCA design, stability, and applications. As an …

Polyhedral boranes and carborane clusters are characterized by delocalized electron
deficient bonding, meaning that there are too few valence electrons for bonding to be …

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 …

Solid electrolytes with sufficiently high conductivities and stabilities are the elusive answer to
the inherent shortcomings of organic liquid electrolytes prevalent in today's rechargeable …

Once seldom encountered outside of a few laboratories, carboranes are now everywhere,
playing a role in the development of a broad range of technologies encompassing organic …

Polyhedral borane and carborane clusters are characterized by delocalized electron-
deficient bonding, meaning that there are too few valence electrons for bonding to be …

That methyl groups attached to carbon atoms are electron donors must not be generally
assumed. In boron clusters, Me groups on boron are electron withdrawing. At the B3LYP/6 …

Mononuclear metal–oxygen species, such as metal-superoxo,-peroxo,-hydroperoxo and-
oxo complexes, are key intermediates involved in dioxygen activation and oxidation …

The salt compounds NaB11H14, Na-7-CB10H13, Li-7-CB10H13, Na-7, 8-C2B9H12, and Na-
7, 9-C2B9H12 all contain geometrically similar, monocharged, nido-undeca (carba) borate …

Kinetically stabilized congeners of carbenes, R2C, possessing six valence electrons (four
bonding electrons and two non‐bonding electrons) have been restricted to Group 14 …
