In this review article, we discuss advances in the chemistry of metal carbonyl clusters
(MCCs) spanning the last three decades, with an emphasis on the more recent reports and …

Metalated three-dimensional icosahedral boron clusters often exhibit high chemical and
thermal stability relative to their simple borane counterparts thus making them a convenient …

Carboranes are a class of carbon–boron molecular clusters with unusual thermal and
chemical stabilities. They have been proved as very useful building blocks in …

Transition metal catalyzed regioselective amination of the cage B (4)–H bond in o-
carboranes has been achieved for the first time using O-benzoyl hydroxylamines or organic …

The first example of a transition metal (BB)-carboryne complex containing two boron atoms
of the icosahedral cage connected to a single exohedral metal center (POBBOP) Ru (CO) 2 …

A rhodium‐catalyzed hydroxylation of a cage B4− H bond in o‐carboranes with either O2 or
air as the oxygen source is described, and serves as a new methodology for the …

Palladium-catalyzed regioselective di-or mono-arylation of o-carboranes was achieved
using weakly coordinating amides at room temperature. Therefore, a series of B (3, 4) …

Ir-Catalyzed–COOH directed site-selective B–H/C–H dehydrogenative cross-coupling of o-
carborane with thiophenes has been achieved for the first time. Without any pre …

Three types of N (H)-nucleophiles, viz. hydrazine, acetyl hydrazide, and a set of hydrazones,
were used to study the nucleophilic addition to the CN group of the 2-propanenitrilium closo …

In the presence of a carboxylic acid directing group, Rh-catalyzed regioselective directed
dialkylation of B (4, 5)–H bonds in o-carboranes and oxidative coupling with allylic alcohols …
