Abstract
Regioselective B-H activation of o-carboranes is an effective way for constructing o-carborane derivatives, which have broad applications in medicine, catalysis and the wider chemical industry. However, the mechanistic basis for the observed selectivities remains unresolved. Herein, a series of density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to characterise the palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (Pd-NHC) catalysed regioselective B(3,6)-diarylation of o-carboranes. Computational results at the IDSCRF(ether)-LC-ωPBE/BS1 and IDSCRF(ether)-LC-ωPBE/BS2 levels showed that the reaction undergoes a Pd(0) → Pd(II) → Pd(0) oxidation/reduction cycle, with the regioselective B(3)-H activation being the rate-determining step (RDS) for the full reaction profile. The computed RDS free energy barrier of 24.3 kcal mol-1 agrees well with the 82% yield of B(3,6)-diphenyl-o-carborane in ether solution at 298 K after 24 hours of reaction. The Ag2CO3 additive was shown to play a crucial role in lowering the RDS free energy barrier and facilitating the reaction. Natural charge population (NPA) and molecular surface electrostatic potential (ESP) analyses successfully predicted the experimentally observed regioselectivities, with electronic effects being revealed to be the dominant contributors to product selectivity. Steric hindrance was also shown to impact the reaction rate, as revealed by experimental and computational characterisation studies of substituents and ligand effects. Furthermore, computational predictions aligned with the experimental findings that NHC ligands outperform the phosphine ones for this particular reaction. Overall, the observed trends reported in this work are expected to assist in the rational optimisation of the efficiency and regioselectivity of this and related reactions.

Abstract
Aromatic polycyclic systems have been extensively utilized as structural subunits for the preparation of various functional molecules. Currently, aromatics-based polycyclic systems are predominantly generated from the extension of two-dimensional (2D) aromatic rings. In contrast, polycyclic compounds based on the extension of three-dimensional (3D) aromatics such as boron clusters are less studied. Here, we report three types of boron cluster-cored tricyclic molecular systems, which are constructed from a 2D aromatic ring, a 3D aromatic nido-carborane, and an alkyne. These new tricyclic compounds can be facilely accessed by Pd-catalyzed B-H activation and the subsequent cascade heteroannulation of carborane and pyridine with an alkyne in an isolated yield of up to 85% under mild conditions without any additives. Computational results indicate that the newly generated ring from the fusion of the 3D carborane, the 2D pyridyl ring, and an alkyne is non-aromatic. However, such fusion not only leads to a 1H chemical shift considerably downfield shifted owing to the strong diatropic ring current of the embedded carborane but also devotes to new/improved physicochemical properties including increased thermal stability, the emergence of a new absorption band, and a largely red-shifted emission band and enhanced emission efficiency. Besides, a number of bright, color-tunable solid emitters spanning over all visible light are obtained with absolute luminescence efficiency of up to 61%, in contrast to aggregation-caused emission quenching of, e.g., Rhodamine B containing a 2D-aromatics-fused structure. This work demonstrates that the new hybrid conjugated tricyclic systems might be promising structural scaffolds for the construction of functional molecules.

Abstract
A unique approach to vertex-selective catalytic B-H amination at either the B(3)- or B(4)-position in o-carboranes has been developed. Using different transition metal catalysts, dehydrogenative BH/NH cross-coupling of o-carboranes and free amines has been achieved, leading to a wide variety of cage B(3)- or B(4)-aminated o-carboranes in moderate to high yields with excellent regioselectivity, where carboranyl carboxylic acids and amines can serve as competent coupling partners without any pre-functionalization. The isolation and structural identification of a key intermediate provide an insight into the reaction mechanism in the catalytic B(4)-H amination.

Abstract
B(3)-Arylation is unfavorable because the steric repulsion between the substituent group on C(2) and the metal moiety would lead to significant distortion of o-carborane and would result in a higher activation energy for reductive elimination.

Abstract
This study focuses on uncovering the regioselectivity, directing group, ligand, and solvation effect in B-H activation, which was investigated by DFT calculations. The reaction mechanism was investigated in vacuum, and the advantageous reaction pathway and rate-determining step were determined. Furthermore, the solvation effects and the ligand that coordinated with Pd were studied. The results showed that in neutral and cationic pathways, the anion (OTf)/ligand (1,10-phenanthroline) exerted significant influence on the transition metal catalytic center Pd, thus affecting B-H activation at different sites. The solvation effects also exerted significant influence on the reaction. The greater the polarity of the solvent, the greater the influence on the energies of all stationary points.

The introduction of the 2-pyridylsulfenyl directing group to o-carboranes allowed either B(3)-Ir or B(4)-Ir bond formation using a steric effect strategy. Moreover, the reactivity of the B(4)-Rh o-carborane complexes with small molecules was probed by reactions with N-bromosuccinimide, N-iodosuccinimide and O2. Rhodium-mediated B(4)-hydroxylation and B(4)-halogenation which are seldom reported have been achieved under practical and mild conditions.

Abstract
The novel members of the 1,2-diboraoxazoles family have been obtained. In the present work, we have carried out the intramolecular ring-closure reaction of borylated iminols of general type [B10H9N=C(OH)R]− (R = Me, Et, nPr, iPr, tBu, Ph, 4-Cl-Ph). This process is conducted in mild conditions with 83–87% yields. The solid-state structures of two salts of 1,2-diboraoxazoles were additionally investigated by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the phenomena of bonding interactions in the 1,2-diboraoxazole cycles have been theoretically studied by the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules analysis. Several local and integral topological properties of the electron density involved in these interactions have been computed.

Abstract
Because of their unique luminescence properties, such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE), intense solid-state luminescence and stimuli-responsive luminochromism, aryl-substituted o-carboranes have attracted attention as a platform for developing functional optoelectronic materials. However, there still remains one fundamental issue with the detailed mechanism of solution quenching in AIE behaviors. Aryl-modified o-carboranes with AIE properties exhibit intense emission not in solution but in the solid state. According to quantum calculations and many experimental results, the elongation at the carbon-carbon bond in o-carborane in the excited state, followed by nonradiative decay, has been proposed as a main path for emission annihilation in solution. However, intramolecular rotation would simultaneously occur, and there is a possibility that emission annihilation could be induced by the combination of both bond elongation and rotation. In this study, we designed two types of biphenyl-substituted o-carboranes having fused structures at the neighbor carbon and boron atoms for fixing molecular conformation. In these molecules, bond elongation is allowed, while rotation would be prohibited. From the series of optical measurements and theoretical investigations, we proved that emission annihilation can occur through bond elongation in the absence of rotation. Moreover, we show that bond elongation could be suppressed by introducing a bulky substituent at the adjacent carbon, and emission color tuning was achieved. This is the first example, to the best of our knowledge, to prove that excitation decay can proceed only through bond elongation without electronic perturbation caused by rotation.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed regioselective di- or mono-arylation of o-carboranes was achieved using weakly coordinating amides at room temperature. Therefore, a series of B(3,4)-diarylated and B(3)-monoarylated o-carboranes anchored with valuable functional groups were accessed for the first time. This strategy provided an efficient approach for the selective activation of B(3,4)-H bonds for regioselective functionalizations of o-carboranes.

Abstract
Aromatic heterocycles are ubiquitous building blocks in bioactive natural products, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Accordingly, the carborane-fused heterocycles would be potential candidates in drug discovery, nanomaterials, metallacarboranes, as well as photoluminescent materials. In recent years, the transition metal catalyzed B-H activation has been proved to be an effective protocol for selective functionalization of B-H bond of o-carboranes, which has been further extended for the synthesis of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via cascade B-H functionalization/annulation process. This article summarizes the recent progress in construction of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via B-H activation.

Abstract
A proof-of-principle study of cascade dehydrogenative cross-coupling of carboranyl carboxylic acid with readily available benzamide has been achieved, resulting in the facile synthesis of previously inaccessible carborano-isoquinolinone derivatives in a simple one-pot process, in which two cage B-H, one aryl C-H, and one N-H bond were sequentially activated to construct efficiently new B-C and B-N bonds, respectively. Under suitable reaction conditions, such cascade cyclization can be stopped at the first B-H/C-H cross-coupling step to give a series of α-carboranyl benzamides, suggesting the preferential occurrence of B-C cross-coupling over that of B-N. The carboxylic acid directing group plays a key role in the B-C cross-coupling step, which is then removed through in situ decarboxylation. The CV results combined with control experiments indicate that high-valent Ir(V)-species may be involved in the reaction pathways, which is crucial for such cascade dehydrogenative cross-coupling reactions. The isolation and structural identification of a key intermediate, its controlled transformations, and deuterium labeling experiments support a new Ir-nitrene-mediated amination for B-H/N-H dehydrocoupling.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) methods including LC-ωPBE, CAM-B3LYP, B3LYP, and B3LYP-D3, combined with double Zeta all-electron DZVP basis set, have been employed to conduct computational investigations on nickel-mediated reaction of o-carboranylzirconacycle, n-hexene, and 2-bromophenyltrimethylsilylacetylene in toluene solution. A multistep mechanism leading to the C,C,B-substituted carborane-fused tricyclics, including (1) sequential insertion of alkene and alkyne into Ni–C bonds; (2) double 1,2-migration of the TMS group; (3) B–H activation assisted by Cs2CO3 additive; and (4) reduction cage B–C (sp2) coupling, was proposed. Among these steps, the B–H activation of o-carborane was located as rate-determining step (RDS). With assistance of Cs2CO3 additive (replaced by K2CO3 in simulation), the RDS free-energy barrier at PCM-LC-ωPBE/DZVP level was calculated to be 23.1–23.9 kcal·mol−1, transferring to a half-life of 3.9–15.1 h at 298 K. The predicted half-life coincides well with 80% experimental yields of C,C,B-substituted carborane-fused tricyclics after 12 h. Kinetic data obtained by employing LC-ωPBE method also reproduced the experimental diastereoselective ratio well. Various B–H activation pathways with and without Cs2CO3 additive were taken into consideration, which illustrates Cs2CO3 as an essential guarantee for smooth occurrence of this reaction at room temperature.

Abstract
Vertex-specific functionalization of carboranes has received considerable research interest, due to the valuable application of carborane derivatives in medicine, coordination/organometallic chemistry and materials. In comparison with a protic cage C-H bond, cage B-H is hydridic and generally less polar, with a bond dissociation energy of ca. 108 kcal mol-1. These features make B-H activation quite different from that of the C-H bond. In addition, selectivity among ten very similar BH vertices in o-carborane is challenging yet crucial to the effective construction of carborane-based functional molecules. To address these issues, a brand new strategy of cage B-H nucleophilic substitution has recently been presented and developed for straightforward and regioselective cage B-H functionalization. The regioselectivity can be controlled by the electronic/steric properties of the cage carbon substituents. This Frontier article highlights the recent advancement in the nucleophilic cage B-H substitution of carboranes.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative B-H/C-H cross coupling of monocarborane anions with alkenes is reported, allowing for the first time the isolation of selectively penta-alkenylated boron clusters. The reaction cascade is regioselective for the cage positions, leading directly to B2-6 functionalization. Under mild and convenient conditions, styrenes, benzylic alkenes and aliphatic alkenes are demonstrated to be viable coupling partners with exclusive vinyl-type B-C bond formation. Multiple subsequent transformations provide access to directing group-free products, chiral derivatives and penta-alkylated cages. The five-fold coupling, combined with the latter reactions, represents a powerful methodology for the straightforward synthesis of new classes of boron clusters.

Abstract
Density functional theory calculations at IDSCRF-B3LYP/DZVP computational level were conducted on palladium-catalyzed regioselective B-H activation and diarylation of o-carboranes with aryl iodides in solution. Computational results indicate that this reaction follows a multistep mechanism and needs to get over several transition states before the final B(4,5)-diarylated o-carborane derivatives are formed. B-H activation, oxidation addition, and successive reduction of the Pd(II) catalyst involving a Pd(II)-Pd(IV)-Pd(II) catalytic cycle has been confirmed, in which AgOAc plays a crucial role. Electron-donating group on the cage carbon of o-carboranes is verified to be beneficial for its B-H activation and diarylation, while steric hindrance between the aryl and o-carboranyl groups retards it. Natural population analysis and Gibbs free energetic results predict consistent regioselectivities with experiments and manifest the pivotal role of electronic effect in controlling regioselective B-H activation of o-carboranes. These results are expected to shed some light on further improvement of experimental conditions and better controlling of regioselectivities.

Abstract
The synthesis and application of icosahedral boron cluster compounds has been studied extensively since their discovery several decades ago; however, two aspects of their chemistry have received little attention: The possibility to form inorganic/organic fused boraheterocycles and their potential to act as antimicrobial agents. This work comprises the preparation of a class of 3D diborabenzoxazole analogues with the closo-dodecaborate in place of the benzene moiety. The presented synthetic procedures provide access to a wide range of diboraheterocycles under mild conditions. These 3D heterocycles exhibit strong and selective antimicrobial activity against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a widespread bacterial pathogen that has shown increasing incidences of multidrug resistance and for which the development of new antimicrobial compounds is urgently needed.

Abstract
Carborane cage chirality is an outstanding issue of great interest as the icosahedral carboranes have wide applications in medicinal and materials chemistry. The synthesis of optically active carborane derivatives, whose chirality is associated with the substitution patterns on the polyhedron, will open new avenues to carborane chemistry. We report herein an efficient method to achieve chiral-at-cage arylation of o-carboranes with high regio- and enantioselectivities by a strategy of palladium-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular B-H arylation and cyclization. This represents the first example of the enantioselective reaction on carboranes, providing an efficient way for the construction of chiral-at-cage compounds with new skeletons.

Abstract
Carboranes are a class of carbon-boron molecular clusters with unusual thermal and chemical stabilities. They have been proved as very useful building blocks in supramolecular design, optoelectronics, nanomaterials, boron neutron capture therapy agents and organometallic/coordination chemistry. Thus, the functionalization of o-carboranes has received growing interests. Over the past decades, most of the works in this area have been focused on cage carbon functionalization as the weakly acidic cage C-H proton can be readily deprotonated by strong bases. In sharp contrast, selective cage B-H activation/functionalization among chemically very similar ten B-H vertices is very challenging. Considering the differences in electron density of ten cage B-H bonds in o-carborane and the nature of transition metal complexes, we have tackled this selectivity issue by means of organometallic chemistry. Our strategy is as follows: using electron-rich transition metal catalysts for the functionalization of the most electron-deficient B(3,6)-H vertices (bonded to both cage CH vertices); using electron-deficient transition-metal catalysts for the functionalization of relatively electron-rich B(8,9,10,12)-H vertices (with no bonding to both cage CH vertices); and using the combination of directing groups and electrophilic transition metal catalysts for the functionalization of B(4,5,7,11)-H vertices (bonded to only one cage CH vertex). Successful applications of such a strategy result in the preparation of a large variety of cage B-functionalized carboranes in a regioselective and catalytic manner, which are inaccessible by other means. It is believed that as this field progresses, other cage B-functionalized carboranes are expected to be synthesized, and the results detailed in this concept article will further these efforts.
