Abstract
Due to the expanding applications of icosahedral carboranes in medicinal and materials chemistry research, their functionalizations have become one of the central themes in boron-rich cluster chemistry. Although several strategies for incorporating nitrogen-containing nucleophiles on a single boron vertex of the icosahedral carboranes (C2B10H12) have been developed, methods for preparing clusters with vicinal B-N moieties are still lacking. The steric bulk of icosahedral carboranes and disparate electronic and steric nature of the N-containing groups have rendered the vicinal diamination challenging. In this article, we show how a developed Pd-catalyzed process is used to incorporate an array of NH-heterocycles, anilines, and heteroanilines with various electronic and steric profiles onto the vicinal boron vertices of a meta-carborane cluster via sequential or one-pot fashion. Importantly, oxidative cyclizations of the cross-coupling products with indoles and pyrroles appended to boron vertices generate a previously unknown class of all-boron-vertex bound carborane-fused six- and seven-membered ring heterocycles. Photophysical studies of the meta-carborane-fused heterocycles show that these structures can exhibit luminescence with high quantum yields and are amenable to further manipulations.

Abstract
Conjugation between three-dimensional (3D) carboranes and the attached substituents is commonly believed to be very weak. In this paper, we report that reducing 1,12-bis(BMes2)-p-carborane (B2pCab) with one electron gives a radical anion with a centrosymmetric semiquinoidal structure. This radical anion shows extensive electron delocalization between the two boron centers over the p-carborane bridge due to the overlap of carborane lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the BMes2 LUMO. Unlike dianions of other C2B10H12 carboranes, which rearrange to a nido-form, two-electron reduction of B2pCab leads to a rearrangement into a basket-shaped intermediate.

Abstract
Arenes are 2D aromatics while dicarbadodecaborane clusters are branded as 3D aromatic molecules. In this work we prepare molecules that feature fused 2D/3D aromatic systems that represent boron-doped analogues of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The electron withdrawing nature of the ortho-carborane substituent enables swift arene borylation on boron bromide or hydride precursors to furnish five- and six-membered boracycles in conjugation with the arene. The mechanism was modeled by DFT computations implying a concerted transition state and analyzing the photophysical properties revealed high quantum yields in the six-membered systems.

Abstract
Icosahedral carboranes, C2B10H12, have long been considered to be aromatic but the extent of conjugation between these clusters and their substituents is still being debated. m- and p-Carboranes are compared with m- and p-phenylenes as conjugated bridges in optical functional chromophores with a donor and an acceptor as substituents here. The absorption and fluorescence data for both carboranes from experimental techniques (including femtosecond transient absorption, time-resolved fluorescence and broadband fluorescence upconversion) show that the absorption and emission processes involve strong intramolecular charge transfer between the donor and acceptor substituents via the carborane cluster. From quantum chemical calculations on these carborane systems, the charge transfer process depends on the relative torsional angles of the donor and acceptor groups where an overlap between the two frontier orbitals exists in the bridging carborane cluster.

Abstract
Strained compounds constitute a highly topical area of research in chemistry. Borirene and borirane both feature a BC2 three-membered ring. They can be viewed as the structural analogues of cyclopropane and cyclopropene, where a CH2 unit of the carbonaceous counterparts is replaced with BH, respectively. Indeed, this structural variation introduces numerous intriguing aspects. For instance, borirane and borirene are both Lewis acidic due to the presence of a tricoordinate borane center. In addition, borirene is 2π aromatic according to Hückel's rule. In addition to their ability to form adducts with Lewis bases and the capacity of borirenes to act as ligands in coordination with metals, both borirenes and boriranes exhibit ring-opening reactivity due to the considerable ring strain. Under specific conditions, coordinated boriranes can even cleave two BC bonds to serve as formal borylene sources (although the reaction mechanisms are quite complex). On the other hand, recent successful syntheses of benzoborienes and their carborane-based three-dimensional analogues (also referred to as carborane-fused boriranes) have introduced novel perspectives to this field. For instance, they display excellent ring-expanding reactivity, possibly attributed to the boosted ring strain arising from the fusion of borirenes with benzene and boriranes with o-carborane. Importantly, their applications as valuable "BC2 " synthons have become increasingly evident along with the newly disclosed reactivity. Additionally, the boosted Lewis acidity of carborane-fused boriranes, thanks to the potent electron-withdrawing effect of o-carborane, combined with their readiness for ring enlargement, makes them promising candidates as electron-accepting building blocks in the construction of chemically responsive luminescent materials. This review provides a summary of the synthesis and reactivity of borirene and borirane derivatives, with the aim of encouraging the design of new borierene- and borirane-based molecules and inspiring further exploration of their potential applications.

Abstract
In the field of modern organic chemistry, hypervalent compounds have become indispensable tools for synthetic chemists, finding widespread applications in both academic research and industrial settings. While iodine-based reagents have historically dominated this research field, recent focus has shifted to the potent yet relatively unexplored chemistry of diaryl λ3-bromanes and -chloranes. Despite their unique reactivities, the progress in their development and application within organic synthesis has been hampered by the absence of straightforward, reliable, and widely applicable preparative methods. However, recent investigations have uncovered innovative approaches and novel reactivity patterns associated with these specialized compounds. These discoveries suggest that we have only begun to tap into their potential, implying that there is much more to be explored in this captivating area of chemistry.

Abstract
The homolytic elimination of two H atoms from two adjacent carbons in benzene results in the aromatic product o-benzyne. In a similar way, the homolytic elimination of two H atoms from the two adjacent carbons in 1,2-C2 B10 H12 results in the aromatic product o-carboryne. In this work, we provide experimental and computational evidences that despite the similarity of o-carboryne and o-benzyne, the nature of the C-C bond generated between two adjacent carbons that lose H atoms is different. While in o-benzyne the C-C bond behaves as a triple bond, in o-carboryne the C-C bond is a double bond. Therefore, we must stop naming 1,2-dehydro-o-carboryne as o-carboryne but instead call it o-carborene.

Abstract
A large number of 2D/2D and 3D/3D aromatic fusions that keep their aromaticity in the fused compounds have been synthesized. In addition, we have previously proven the electronic relationship between the 3D aromaticity of boron hydrides and the 2D aromaticity of PAHs. Here we report the possible existence of 3D/2D aromatic fusions that retain the whole aromaticity of the two units. Our conclusion is that such a 3D/2D aromatic combination is not possible due to the ineffective overlap between the π-MOs of the planar species and the n + 1 molecular orbitals in the aromatic cage that deter an effective electronic delocalization between the two fused units. We have also proven the necessary conditions for 3D/3D fusions to take place, and how aromaticity of each unit is decreased in 2D/2D and 3D/3D fusions. 2D/2D fusion of aromatic halves leading to a global aromatic is found in many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, whereas 2D/3D aromaticity is difficult to achieve. Here the authors report a computational chemistry investigation showing that 3D/2D aromatic combination is not possible.

Pyrene-B (o-phenylenediamine) with a five-membered NBN ring and pyrene-B (1,8-diaminonaphthalene) with a six-membered NBN ring show differing luminescence. Pyrene-B (o-phenylenediamine) shows concentration-dependent luminescence and enhanced emission after grinding at solid state. Pyrene-B (1,8-diaminonaphthalene) exhibits a turn-on type luminescence upon fluoride ion addition at lower concentration, as well as concentration-dependent stability. Further potential applications of Pyrene-B (o-phenylenediamine) on artificial light-harvesting film were demonstrated by using commercial NiR dye as acceptor.

Abstract
Although several synthesized icosahedral carborane fused 2D π-ring systems are known, and even considerable conjugation has been noted between them in some cases, the phenomenon itself is not fully understood. Based on the results of our computational study, it can be concluded that the 2D aromatic character of the fused (exo) five-membered ring is low, even in cases where significant conjugation was proposed in previous studies. Moreover, the carborane moiety constricts the bonding properties of the exo ring, thus prohibiting or promoting different Lewis resonance structures. These results will shed further light on the design and electronic modulation of new carborane-based materials. We have demonstrated that carborane fused heterocycles can definitely be considered as non-2D aromatic compounds; therefore, their aromatic character was significantly overestimated in earlier studies.![]()

Abstract
We disclose herein the first example of iron-catalyzed regioselective intramolecular C-H/B-H dehydrogenative coupling, affording unprecedented C,B-substituted carborane-fused phenanthroline derivatives. The 8-aminoquinoline type auxiliaries not only serve as the bidentate directing groups but also ingeniously become the core part of the final products. The mechanistic hypothesis includes B-H activation, directing group rotation promoted by trans effect, C-H activation, and reductive elimination.

Abstract
New types of ligands, carborane-fused cyclopentenyl and dicarbollyl-fused cyclopentene, were conveniently prepared in high yields. Treatment of the lithium salt of carborane-fused cyclopentenyl anion, [1,2-[C(Me)CHC(Ph)]-1,2-C2B10H10]Li, with [Cp*RuCl]4 generated an 18-electron complex [η3:η2-(PhCCHCMe)C2B10H10]Ru(η5-Cp*). On the other hand, reaction of the dicarbollide salt, [7,8-(CH2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CMe)-7,8-C2B9H9]Na2 with [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 or CoCl2/CpNa, afforded the salt metathesis product [η5-(CH2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CMe)C2B9H9]Ru(η6-p-cymene) or [η5-(CH2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CMe)C2B9H9]Co(η5-C5H5) in good yields. In contrast, [7,8-(CH2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CMe)-7,8-C2B9H9]Na2 reacted with Ni(dppp)Cl2 (dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) to give another 18-electron metallacarborane [η5-(CH2CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CMe)C2B9H9]Ni(dppp), in which one of the cage carbon atoms has been isomerized to the lower belt of the cage due to steric reasons. All these new metallacarborane compounds were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analyses.

Abstract
Organometallic chemists usually like to use the word robust to describe pincer ligand frameworks in metal pincer complexes. Although most transition metal pincer complexes are thermally stable, the pincer backbone frameworks can still decompose under certain circumstances. In order to explore the stability of the bis(phosphinite) (POCOP) pincer backbone in transition metal pincer complexes, group 10 metal POCOP pincer complexes were exposed to different nucleophilic and electrophilic conditions, respectively. It was found that the POCOP pincer backbone is stable under intermolecular nucleophilic conditions but cannot survive intramolecular nucleophilic attack; the POCOP pincer backbone is also stable under weak electrophilic conditions but the backbone can be completely destroyed by strong Lewis acids such as AlCl3. Possible decomposition/reconstruction pathways of the POCOP pincer ligand framework were proposed.

Abstract
The activation of Si-H bonds is a very important transformation both in organic and inorganic chemistry. Herein we report that 1,2-dibenzoyl-o-carborane (1) reacts with Si-H bonds, yielding new hydrofurane-type products. The mechanism of this Si-H bond activation was studied both experimentally and by DFT calculations, and supposedly proceeds in an FLP-type manner.

Abstract
A series of 1,2-N-substituted o-carboranes were obtained. The C-C bond lengths of secondary-amino o-carboranes 3 were compared. The relationship between C-C distances and the electron effects of the benzyl groups was discussed. DFT calculations with and without dispersion energy correction show that significant attractive dispersion forces were present, which arise from the skeletons of the o-carborane cages.

Abstract
The synthesis of [1,1'-bis(o-carboranyl)]boranes was achieved through the deprotonation of 1,1'-bis(o-carborane) reagents followed by salt metathesis with (iPr)2NBCl2. X-ray crystallography confirms planar central BC4 rings and Gutmann-Beckett studies reveal an increase in Lewis acidity at the boron center in comparison to their biphenyl congener, 9-borafluorene.

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
A one-pot strategy for efficient and facile synthesis of C,B-substituted carborane-fused N-polyheterocycles is reported. A rhodium catalyzed cascade cyclization of carboranyl N-arylimines with vinyl ketones enables the effective construction of three new B-C and C-C bonds in one reaction. Both carboranyl B-H and aryl C-H bonds are sequentially activated, leading to a series of previously unavailable C,B-substituted carborane-fused cyclopenta[b]quinoline derivatives, for potential applications in pharmaceuticals and materials, in a step-economical manner. The successful isolation and structural identification of a key intermediate provide solid evidence for the reaction mechanism, involving a tandem sequence of regioselective B-H activation, alkene insertion, nucleophilic cyclization, C-H activation, nucleophilic cyclization, dehydration and oxidative aromatization.
