Abstract
The addition of Et2O·BF3 or Me2S·BCl3 to the BNBN-cumulene-bridged Pt(II) A-frame complexes [(μ-1,1-BNBN(TMS)2)(μ-dmpm)2Pt2X2] (TMS = SiMe3, dmpm = CH2(PMe2)2, X = Br 1Br, I 1I) resulted in the oxidative addition of one B-F or B-Cl bond, respectively, to the internal BN bond of the bridging, iminoborane-like B-N≡B-N moiety, and coordination of one Pt(II) center to the resulting adjacent BF2 (complex 2Br-F) or BCl2 (complexes 2Br-Cl and 2I-Cl) moiety, respectively. X-ray crystallographic and multinuclear NMR-spectroscopic data show that the Pt→BF2 interaction in 2Br-F is very weak and merely electrostatic, while the Pt→BCl2 interaction in 2Br-Cl and 2I-Cl is a stronger donor-acceptor bond. In contrast, the reaction of Me2S·BBr3 with 1Br yielded a ca. 3:2 mixture of the analogous B-Br addition product to the iminoborane, 2Br-Br, and the product of a subsequent oxidative addition of one B-Br bond of the chelating BBr2 moiety to the adjacent platinum center, the mixed-valence boranediyl-bridged, Pt(II)-Pt(IV)-bromoboryl complex 3-Br5. The analogous reactions of Me2S·BI3 with 1Br and Me2S·BBr3 with 1I yielded complex product mixtures of Pt(II)-Pt(II)-borane (2Br-I and 2I-Br, respectively) and Pt(II)-Pt(IV)-boryl complexes (3-BrnI5-n, n = 1-3) analogous to 2X-Y and 3-Br5, respectively, the proportion of the latter increasing with the proportion of iodide in the precursor mixture. Both multinuclear NMR-spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic data show evidence of complex and extensive inter- and intramolecular bromide-iodide exchanges between the soft, iodide-affine platinum centers and the harder, more bromide-affine boron centers. A clue to the mechanism of these halide exchanges is provided by the reactions of BBr2Ar (Ar = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (Mes), 2,3,5,6-Me4C6H (Dur)) with 1Br, which yielded the cationic Pt(II)-Pt(II)-borenium analogues of 2Br-Br, the complexes 4Br-Ar, generated by the sterics-induced displacement of the bromide substituent from the chelating Pt→BBrAr moiety, and displaying a rare metal→borenium donor-acceptor bond.

Abstract
In this manuscript we evaluate the X-ray structure of five new pertechnetate derivatives of general formula [M(H2O)4(TcO4)2], M=Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn (compounds 1-5) and one perrhenate compound Zn(H2O)4(ReO4)2 (6). In these complexes the metal center exhibits an octahedral coordination with the pertechnetate units as axial ligands. All compounds exhibit the formation of directional Tc⋅⋅⋅O Matere bonds (MaBs) that propagate the [M(H2O)4(TcO4)2], into 1D supramolecular polymers in the solid state. Such 1D polymers are linked, generating 2D layers, by combining additional MaBs and hydrogen bonds (HBs). Such concurrent motifs have been analyzed theoretically, suggesting the noncovalent σ-hole nature of the MaBs. The interaction energies range from weak (~ -2 kcal/mol) for the MaBs to strong (~ -30 kcal/mol) for the MaB+HB assemblies, where HB dominates. In case of M=Zn, the corresponding perrhenate Zn(H2O)4(ReO4)2 complex, has been also synthesized for comparison purposes, resulting in the formation of an isostructural X-ray structure, corroborating the structure-directing role of Matere bonds.

Abstract
The development of new synthetic methods for B-H bond activation has been an important research area in boron cluster chemistry, which may provide opportunities to broaden the application scope of boron clusters. Herein, we present a new reaction strategy for the direct site-selective B-H functionalization of nido-carboranes initiated by photoinduced cage activation via a noncovalent cage···π interaction. As a result, the nido-carborane cage radical is generated through a single electron transfer from the 3D nido-carborane cage to a 2D photocatalyst upon irradiation with green light. The resulting transient nido-carborane cage radical could be directly probed by an advanced time-resolved EPR technique. In air, the subsequent transformations of the active nido-carborane cage radical have led to efficient and selective B-N, B-S, and B-Se couplings in the presence of N-heterocycles, imines, thioethers, thioamides, and selenium ethers. This protocol also facilitates both the late-stage modification of drugs and the synthesis of nido-carborane-based drug candidates for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

Abstract
An efficient and convenient strategy for Ir-catalyzed selective B(3)-amination of o-carboranes with amines via acceptorless BH/NH dehydrocoupling was developed, affording a series of B(3)-aminated-o-carboranes in moderate to high isolated yields with H2 gas as a sole by-product. Such an oxidant-free system endues the protocol sustainability, atom-economy and environmental friendliness. A reaction mechanism via an Ir(I)-Ir(III)-Ir(I) catalytic cycle involving oxidative addition, dehydrogenation and reductive elimination was proposed.

Abstract
Herein, we present a chemically robust and efficient synthesis route for B(9)-OH-o-carboranes by the oxidation of o-carboranes with commercially available 68% HNO3 under the assistance of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (HOTf) and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). The reaction is highly efficient with a wide scope of carboranes, and the selectivity of B(9)/B(8) is up to 98:2. The success of this transformation relies on the strong electrophilicity and oxidizability of HNO3, promoted through hydrogen bonds of the Brønsted acid HOTf and the solvent HFIP. Mechanism studies reveal that the oxidation of o-carborane involves an initial electrophilic attack of HNO3 to the hydrogen atom at the most electronegative B(9) of o-carborane. In this transformation, the hydrogen atom of the B-H bond is the nucleophilic site, which is different from the electrophilic substitution reaction, where the boron atom is the nucleophilic site. Therefore, this is an oxidation-reduction reaction of o-carborane under mild conditions in which N(V) → N(III) and H(-I) → H(I). The derivatization of 9-OH-o-carborane was further examined, and the carboranyl group was successfully introduced to an amino acid, polyethylene glycol, biotin, deoxyuridine, and saccharide. Undoubtedly, this approach provides a selective way for the rapid incorporation of carborane moieties into small molecules for application in boron neutron capture therapy, which requires the targeted delivery of boron-rich groups.

Abstract
The efficient and selective functionalization of icosahedral carboranes (C2B10H12) at the boron vertexes is a long-standing challenge owing to the presence of 10 inert B-H bonds in a similar chemical environment. Herein, we report a new reaction paradigm for direct B-H functionalization of icosahedral carboranes via B-H homolysis enabled by a nitrogen-centered radical-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) strategy. Both the HAT process of the carborane B-H bond and the resulting boron-centered carboranyl radical intermediate have been confirmed experimentally. The reaction occurs at the most electron-rich boron vertex with the lowest B-H bond dissociation energy (BDE). Using this strategy, diverse carborane derivatization, including thiolation, selenation, alkynylation, alkenylation, cyanation, and halogenation, have been achieved in satisfactory yields under a photoinitiated condition in a metal-free and redox-neutral fashion. Moreover, the synthetic utility of the current protocol was also demonstrated by both the scale-up reaction and the construction of carborane-based functional molecules. Therefore, this methodology opens a radical pathway to carborane functionalization, which is distinct from the B-H heterolytic mechanism in the traditional strategies.

Abstract
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]–, and dicarboranes [C2BnHn–2] (with non-functionalized carbon atoms) (n = 10, 12) containing the B–X exo-polyhedral bonds (X = N, O, S, Hal) are discussed. Synthesis and structural features of complexes known to date are described. The effect of complexing metal and substituent attached to the boron cage on the composition and structures of the final complexes is analyzed. It has been established that substituted derivatives of boron cluster anions and carboranes can act as both ligands and counterions. A complexing agent can coordinate substituted derivatives of the boron cluster anions due to three-center two-electron 3c2e MHB bonds, by the substituent functional groups, or a mixed type of coordination can be realized, through the BH groups of the boron cage and the substituent. As for B-substituted carboranes, complexes with coordinated substituents or salts with non-coordinated carborane derivatives have been isolated; compounds with MHB bonding are not characteristic of carboranes.
