Polyhedral carboranes lie at the interface of organic and inorganic chemistry. One of their most attractive and important features is the variety and beauty of their chemical structures. They have found applications as diverse as catalysis, in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy, as liquid crystals and as semiconductors. This Special Issue illustrates the very comprehensive world of heteroborane chemistry, from liquid crystals to BNCT agents, di-halogen bonding to quantum chemical calculations of tetrel complexes of the carbonium ylide CB11H11, nickellacarboranes as potential acid-base sensors to revealing how the selective formations of metallacarborane diastereomers can arise and metallacarboranes as function as radical cation salts with dielectric or semiconductor properties.CarboraneResearch & information: generalbicssc1,1'-bis(o-carborane)bis(nickelation)boron chemistryboron clustersboron neutron capture therapycarbonium ylidecarboranecarboranescholesterolchromium bis(1,2-dicarbollide)crystal and molecular structurecysteinedeboronationDFTdiastereoisomersdihalogen bondelectric conductivityelectron densityELFfluorescenceiodo derivativesiron bis(1,2-dicarbollide)labeled compoundLewis acidliquid crystalsmetalationn/anickel(II) half-sandwich complexesnido-carboranenitrilium derivativeso-carboraneo-carborane decapitationquantum chemical calculationsquantum chemistryradical-cation saltsreaction pathwaysstereospecificstructuresulfa-Michael addition reactionsynthesistetramethyltetraselenafulvalenetetramethyltetrathiafulvalenetetrel bondX-ray structureResearch & information: generalStogniy Marina Yuedt1319557Rosair GeorginaedtStogniy Marina YuothRosair GeorginaothBOOK9910566473603321Carborane: Dedicated to the Work of Professor Alan Welch3033963UNINA
