Boron clusters as broadband membrane carriers. [PDF]

Nature, 2022
AbstractThe membrane translocation of hydrophilic substances constitutes a challenge for their application as therapeutic compounds and labelling probes1–4. To remedy this, charged amphiphilic molecules have been classically used as carriers3,5. However, such amphiphilic carriers may cause aggregation and non-specific membrane lysis6,7.

Towards the Application of Purely Inorganic Icosahedral Boron Clusters in Emerging Nanomedicine [PDF]

Molecules, 2023
Traditionally, drugs were obtained by extraction from medicinal plants, but more recently also by organic synthesis. Today, medicinal chemistry continues to focus on organic compounds and the majority of commercially available drugs are organic molecules,

Photoinitiation with boron clusters [PDF]

Science, 2016
Polymer Chemistry Nonmetallic photoinitiators of polymerization are gaining interest for biomedical and electronics applications in which metal compounds are toxic or their presence reduces performance. Messina et al. report on boron clusters [B12(OR)12, where R is a phenyl or pentafluorophenyl group] that act as photoinitiators with blue light for the

Chiral Jahn–Teller Distortion in Quasi-Planar Boron Clusters [PDF]

Molecules
In this work, we have observed that some chiral boron clusters (B16−, B20−, B24−, and B28−) can simultaneously have helical molecular orbitals and helical spin densities; these seem to be the first compounds discovered to have this intriguing property ...

Blue Emitting Star-Shaped and Octasilsesquioxane-Based Polyanions Bearing Boron Clusters. Photophysical and Thermal Properties [PDF]

Molecules, 2020
High boron content systems were prepared by the peripheral functionalisation of 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (TPB) and octavinylsilsesquioxane (OVS) with two different anionic boron clusters: closo-dodecaborate (B12) and cobaltabisdicarbollide (COSAN). TPB was

Redox-Active Boron Clusters. [PDF]

Acc Chem Res
ConspectusIn this Account, we discuss our group's research over the past decade on a class of functionalized boron clusters with tunable chemical and physical properties, with an emphasis on accessing and controlling their redox behavior. These clusters can be thought of as three-dimensional aromatic systems that have distinct redox behavior and ...
