It has been almost 50 years since the term “supramolecular chemistry” was coined to
describe chemistry beyond the molecule. Since its beginning, supramolecular chemistry has …

Derivatives of dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes and dicarba-nido-undecaboranes (carboranes)
are of increasing interest for modern medicinal chemistry and materials science. The …

A series of boron‐containing lipids were prepared by reactions of cyclic oxonium derivatives
of polyhedron boranes and metallacarboranes (closo‐dodecaborate anion, cobalt and iron …

New boron carriers with high boron content and targeted cancer-cell delivery are considered
the first choice for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for cancer treatment. Previously …

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 …

Molecular nanomaterials built with well-defined chemical structures, accurate molecular
weights and high synthetic reproducibility, have emerged as an exciting new branch of …

The rapid progress in the chemistry of carboranes and other polyhedral boron compounds
makes the development of methods for the synthesis of their various functional derivatives a …

Metallacarboranes are anionic boron clusters with high affinity to serum albumin, ability to
cross biological membranes, and no apparent toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Thus, conjugation …

Metallacarboranes, exemplified by cobalt bis (dicarbollide)([COSAN]−), have excelled their
historical metallocene analogue label to become promising in drug design, medical studies …

Cobalt bis (dicarbollide)(COSAN) is a metallacarborane used as a versatile pharmacophore
to prepare biologically active hybrid organic–inorganic compounds or to improve the …
