Carborane Nanomembranes. [PDF]
ACS NanoWe report on the fabrication of a boron-based two-dimensional (2D) material via electron irradiation-induced cross-linking of carborane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on crystalline silver substrates. The SAMs of 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecarborane-9,12-dithiol (O9,12) were prepared on flat crystalline silver substrates and irradiated with low-energy ...

Optically induced charge-transfer in donor-acceptor-substituted p- and m- C2B10H12 carboranes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIcosahedral carboranes, C2B10H12, have long been considered to be aromatic but the extent of conjugation between these clusters and their substituents is still being debated. m- and p-Carboranes are compared with m- and p-phenylenes as conjugated bridges

Carboranes as unique pharmacophores in antitumor medicinal chemistry
Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2022 Carborane is a carbon-boron molecular cluster that can be viewed as a 3D analog of benzene. It features special physical and chemical properties, and thus has the potential to serve as a new type of pharmacophore for drug design and discovery.
