Abstract
Two new approaches to the functionalization of the 1-carba-closo-decaborate anion [1-CB9H10]- at boron atoms via the ring-opening of its 1,4-dioxane derivative with various nucleophiles and Pd-catalysed cross-coupling of its iodo derivative with aromatic amines and heteroaromatics were developed.

Abstract
A series of liquid crystalline pyridinium and sulfonium derivatives of the [closo-1-CB9H10]- and [closo-1-CB11H12]- anions containing the CH2CH2 linking group was prepared and their molecular and crystal structures were determined by single crystal XRD methods. Thermal and dielectric properties of the series were evaluated in a weakly polar nematic host. The highest extrapolated dielectric anisotropy, Δε, was observed for pyridinium zwitterions (up to 56.0). The dielectric data were analyzed with the Maier-Meier formalism augmented with density functional theory calculations, and the results were compared to those obtained for the analogous ester derivatives (COO linking group). The effect of the linking group on thermal and electrooptical properties is discussed.

Abstract
C(1)-vinylation of [closo-1-CB9 H10 ]- (A) and [closo-1-CB11 H12 ]- (B) with 4-benzyloxystyryl iodide followed by hydrogenation of the double bond and reductive deprotection of the phenol functionality led to C(1)-(4-hydroxyphenethyl) derivatives. The phenol functionality was protected as the acetate. The esters were then treated with PhI(OAc)2 and the resulting isomers were separated kinetically (for derivatives of anion A) or by chromatography (for derivatives of anion B) giving the difunctionalized building blocks in overall yields of 9 % and 50 %, respectively. A similar series of reactions was performed starting with anions A and B and 4-methoxystyryl bromide and iodide. Significant differences in the reactivity of derivatives of the two carborane anions were rationalized with DFT computational results. Application of the difunctionalized carboranes as building blocks was demonstrated through preparation of two ionic liquid crystals. The extensive synthetic work is accompanied by single crystal XRD analysis of six derivatives.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, metal-catalyzed cross-coupling has emerged as a very powerful strategy to functionalize carbon-based molecules. More recently, some of the cross-coupling methodologies have been adapted to inorganic compounds including boron-rich clusters. The development of this chemistry relies on the ability to synthesize halogenated boron-rich clusters which can serve as electrophilic cross-coupling partners with nucleophilic substrates in the presence of a metal catalyst. While the cross-coupling chemistry with boron-clusters is conceptually reminiscent of that of its hydrocarbon counterparts, several key aspects including the spheroidal bulk of clusters and the distinct nature of boron-halogen/boron-heteroatom bonds make this chemistry unique. The utility of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling can be extended to several classes of polyhedral boranes including neutral and anionic carboranes, metallaboranes, and carbon-free boranes. Importantly, cross-coupling enables a suite of boron-heteroatom (C, N, O, P, S) couplings to prepare boron cluster-based systems that can be used for ligand design, medicinal chemistry, and materials applications.

Abstract
Reactions of [ closo-1-CB9H9-1-R]- (2, R = H, COOH, C5H11) with PhI(OAc)2 lead to mixtures of regioisomers [ closo-1-CB9H8-1-R-6-IPh] (5[6]) and [ closo-1-CB9H8-1-R-10-IPh] (5[10]) in ratios of ∼3:1 to 1:1, of which the former isomer undergoes selective reactions with nucleophiles (MeCN, pyridine, MeC(═NH)NH2, CN-). The products and the unreacted 10-isomers 5[10] are separated achieving kinetic resolution of the isomeric iodonium zwitterions. Pure 5[10] is reacted with nucleophiles (pyridine, 4-C7H15OPyridine, Me2NCHS, PhCO2-, CN-, N3-, I-, MeC(═NH)NH2, and MeCN), giving substitution products. The mechanism of the substitution is investigated with density functional theory (DFT) methods. Some of the nucleophilic substitution products are transformed further, expanding the scope of available functional groups for the [ closo-1-CB9H10]- anion. Four derivatives are characterized with single-crystal XRD methods: [ closo-1-CB9H9-10-N2] (4[10]a), [ closo-1-CB9H9-6-NC5H5] (9[6]a), [ closo-1-CB9H9-10-NC5H5] (9[10]a), and [ closo-1-CB9H9-10-NHC(NH2)Me] (10[10]a). Spectroscopic data for selected derivatives are interpreted in terms of transmission of electronic effects through the { closo-1-CB9} cluster (NMR) and interaction with substituents (IR, UV). The latter results are compared to those of TD-DFT computational methods.

Abstract
An extension of a new method for forming thioesters with mesomorphic properties has been described, whereby the treatment of aryl tert-butylthioethers with long-chain acid chlorides in the presence of bismuth triflate afforded simple derivatives in good yields. This method in the case of 1-cyanoazulenes was, however, complicated by a competitive Friedel–Crafts-type acylation side reaction at the 3-position. Long-chain derivatives of cyanobiphenyl attached through a thioester linkage exhibited mesophases comparable with their ester analogues. The use of shorter chains to decorate the cyanobiphenyl moiety did not produce mesophasic behaviour, unlike their ester analogues. The cyanobiphenyl derivatives showing mesophasic behaviour were studied by small-angle X-ray diffraction, showing alignment for molecules possessing a smectic A phase. It was found that the layer spacing in the smectic A phase was ~1.5 times the length of the molecule, owing to antiparallel pairing arising from π-stacking between neighbouring units. Calculations suggest these derivatives should exhibit large dielectric anisotropy; however, instability made an exact value difficult to determine. For potential use in a liquid crystal display (LCD), the thioester holds some promise, although this may be limited by the relative stability of the thioester functionality.

Abstract
This Review covers the recent developments (2005-2015) in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give a comprehensive overview of the "state-of-the-art" in the field. The discussion is focused on low molar mass and dendrimeric thermotropic ionic mesogens, as well as selected metal-containing compounds (metallomesogens), but some references to polymeric and/or lyotropic ionic liquid crystals and particularly to ionic liquids will also be provided. Although zwitterionic and mesoionic mesogens are also treated to some extent, emphasis will be directed toward liquid-crystalline materials consisting of organic cations and organic/inorganic anions that are not covalently bound but interact via electrostatic and other noncovalent interactions.

Abstract
Two series of related three-ring nematoges with Δε > 0 and containing 12-vetex carborane (A), 10-vertex carborane (B), bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (C), cyclohexane (D) and benzene (E) were prepared and investigated as additives to 6-CHBT nematic host and in the pure form (series 2). Dielectric results were analyzed with the Maier-Meier relationship to gain an understanding of behavior of additives in nematic solutions. Molecular parameters for each nematogen were obtained at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory in the host's dielectric medium, and dielectric data was used as the only experimental parameter to calculate apparent order parameter Sapp and the Kirkwood factor g. The results demonstrated that compounds in series 1 stabilize the nematic phase (high Sapp) of the host more than additives in series 2 (low Sapp), and carbocycles C and D are more effective (higher Sapp) than carborane analogues A and B (lower Sapp). The method provides insight into behavior of additives in nematic solutions and is useful for comparative analysis of a series of compounds or a series of hosts.

Abstract
The [closo-1-CB(9)H(10)](-) anion is a member of an extensive family of σ-aromatic closo-boranes that possess impressive stability and functionalization characteristics. In contrast to its bigger, more extensively studied brother, the [closo-1-CB(11)H(12)](-) anion, convenient access to the [closo-1-CB(9)H(10)](-) anion has only been recently established, and researchers have only begun to develop and understand its fundamental chemistry. The geometrical and electronic properties of the [closo-1-CB(9)H(10)](-) anion make it an attractive structural element of novel classes of either zwitterionic or ionic liquid crystals suitable for electro-optical and ion transport applications, respectively. Such materials require a 1,10-difunctionalized [closo-1-CB(9)H(10)](-) anion that permits for the formation of molecules of elongated shape. The covalent attachment of an onium fragment or the use of a counterion compensates for the negative charge. This Account highlights the progress made in the advancement and understanding of the fundamental chemistry of the [closo-1-CB(9)H(10)](-) anion. We also describe the development of 1,10-difunctionalized derivatives as key intermediates in the preparation of new classes of liquid crystalline materials. We obtained the first isomerically pure 1,10-difunctionalized derivative of the [closo-1-CB(9)H(10)](-) anion, iodo acid [closo-1-CB(9)H(8)-1-COOH-10-I](-), from decaborane through the Brellochs reaction. Functional group transformation of the C(1)-carboxyl group led to a 1-amino derivative and, subsequently, to a synthetically valuable 1-dinitrogen derivative. The latter exhibits reactivity typical for PhN(2)(+) and undergoes diazocoupling and Gomberg-Bachmann arylation reactions. The B(10)-iodine participated in Negishi alkylation and Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions, leading to 10-hexyl and 10-amino carboxylic acids, respectively. We converted the 10-amino carboxylic acid to a 10-dinitrogen acid [closo-1-CB(9)H(8)-1-COOH-10-N(2)], which proved to be synthetically valuable in the preparation of 10-pyridinium and 10-sulfonium zwitterionic acids and their liquid crystalline esters. We investigated several intermediates using structural, spectroscopic, and kinetic methods.

Abstract
The methodology to prepare 3-substituted 1,5-dibromopentanes I and their immediate precursors, which include 3-substituted 1,5-pentanediols VII or 4-substituted tetrahydropyrans VIII, is surveyed. Such dibromides I are important intermediates in the preparation of liquid crystalline derivatives containing 6-membered heterocyclic rings. Four dibromides 1a-1d containing simple alkyl and more complex fragments at the 3-position were prepared. 3-Propyl- and 3-pentyl-pentane-1,5-diol (2a,b) were prepared starting from either glutaconate or malonate diesters, while tetrahydropyrans 3c and 3d were obtained from tetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one. The advantages and disadvantages of each route are discussed. Dibromides 1c and 1d were used to prepare sulfonium zwitterions 11c and 11d.

Abstract
Amino acid [closo-1-CB(9)H(8)-1-COO-10-NH(3)](-) (4) was prepared by amination of iodo acid [closo-1-CB(9)H(8)-1-COOH-10-I](-) (1) with LiHMDS in a practical and reproducible manner. The apparent dissociation constants, pK(2) = 5.6 and pK(1) > 11, were measured for 4[NMe(4)] in 50% aq. EtOH. Diazotization of 4 with NO(+)PF(6)(-) under mildly basic conditions afforded stable dinitrogen acid [closo-1-CB(9)H(8)-1-COOH-10-N(2)] (5). Activation parameters (DeltaH(++) = 33.9 +/- 1.4 kcal mol(-1) and DeltaS(++) = 10 +/- 3.5 cal mol(-1) K(-1)) for thermolysis of its methyl ester [closo-1-CB(9)H(8)-1-COOMe-10-N(2)] (11) in PhCN were established, and the heterolysis of the B-N bond is believed to be the rate-determining step. Electrochemical analysis showed a partially reversible reduction process for 11 (E(1/2)(red) = -1.03 V) and 5(-) (E(1/2)(red) = -1.21 V), which are more cathodic than reduction of [closo-1-CB(9)H(9)-1-N(2)] (17). The dinitrogen acid 5 was reacted with pyridine and N,N-dimethylthioformamide, to form pyridine acid 6 and protected mercapto acid 7, respectively, through a boronium ylide intermediate 18. Compound 7 was converted to sulfonium acid 8. The molecular and crystal structures for 5 [C(2)H(9)B(9)N(2)O(2) monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 7.022(2) A, b = 11.389(4) A, c = 12.815(4) A, beta = 96.212(5) degrees ; V = 1018.8(6) A(3), Z = 4,], 6 [C(7)H(14)B(9)NO(2), monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 14.275(4) A, b = 12.184(3) A, c = 30.538(8) A, beta = 95.377(4) degrees ; V = 5288(3) A(3), Z = 16], and 8 [C(7)H(19)B(9)O(2)S, monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 15.988(5) A, b = 19.377(6) A, c = 9.655(3) A, beta = 98.348(5) degrees; V = 2959.4(16) A(3), Z = 8] were determined by X-ray crystallography and compared with results of density functional theory (DFT) and MP2 calculations. Electronic structures of 5, 6, and related species were elucidated with electronic spectroscopy and assessed computationally at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), MP2/6-31G(d,p), and ZINDO//MP2 levels of theory.
