This review systematizes data on the coordination ability of mono- and disubstituted derivatives of boron cluster anions and carboranes in complexation with transition metals. Boron clusters anions [BnHn]2–, monocarborane anions [CBnHn–1]...

The emergence of drug-resistant influenza virus strains necessitates the development of novel antiviral agents with unique mechanisms of action. This study presents the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of a new class of antiviral compounds: sodium s...

Synthesis and structure of silver and copper salts and complexes with polyhedral boron hydride anions, including closo-decaborate [B10H10]2−, closo-dodecaborate [B12H12]2−, 1-carba-closo- decaborate [1-CB9H10]−, carba-closo-dodecaborate [CB11H12]−, a...

A series of complexation reactions of silver(I) and copper(I) in the presence of a polyhedral weakly coordinating [B10Cl10]2− anion has been carried out. The effect of the solvent and the presence of Ph3P on the composition and structure of the...

A theoretical investigation of mono-methyl derivatives of closo-borate anions of the general form [BnHnCH3]2– (n = 6, 10, 12) and monocarboranes [HCBnHnCH3]− (n = 5, 9, 11) was carried out. An analysis of the main bonding descriptors of e...

The boron (Z = 5) element is unique. Boron-based (nano-)materials are equally unique. Accordingly, the present special issue is dedicated to crystalline boron-based (nano-)materials and gathers a series of nine review and research articles dealing wi...

In this work, we studied lead(II) and cobalt(II) complexation of derivatives [2-B10H9O(CH2)2O(CH2)2N3]2− and [2-B10H9O(CH2)5N3]2− of the closo-decaborate anion containing pendant azido groups in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2...

The octahydridotriborate anion plays a crucial role in the field of polyhedral boron chemistry, facilitating the synthesis of higher boranes and the preparation of diverse transition metal complexes. Among the stable forms of this anion, CsB3H8 (or (...
