Polyhedral boranes and carborane clusters are characterized by delocalized electron
deficient bonding, meaning that there are too few valence electrons for bonding to be …

Recent research has taught us that most protonated species are decidedly not well
represented by a simple proton addition. What is the actual nature of the hydrogen ion (the …

The search for high active, stable, and cost-efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)
electrocatalysts for water electrolysis has attracted great interest. The coordinated water …

Once seldom encountered outside of a few laboratories, carboranes are now everywhere,
playing a role in the development of a broad range of technologies encompassing organic …

This review describes the additions of allylmagnesium reagents to carbonyl compounds and
to imines, focusing on the differences in reactivity between allylmagnesium halides and …

The control of tetrahedral carbon stereocentres remains a focus of modern synthetic
chemistry and is enabled by their configurational stability. By contrast, trisubstituted nitrogen …

Oxatriquinanes are fused, tricyclic oxonium ions that are known to have exceptional stability
compared to simple alkyl oxonium salts. C–O bonds in ethers are generally∼ 1.43 Å in …

The chlorinated carba-closo-dodecaborate anion HCB11Cl11–is an exceptionally stable
molecule and has previously been reported to be substitutionally inert at the B–Cl vertices …

The structures and intrinsic gas-phase acidities (GA) of some dodecaborane acids, the
derivatives of YB12H11H (Y= PF3, NH3, NF3, NMe3), B12H12H2, and B12H12H–(HA, H2A …

Three new salts R 2 [B 10 Cl 10](R= Et 3 NH+, Ph 4 P+,[Ag (NH 3) 2]+, 1–3) containing bulky
decachloro-closo-decaborate dianion have been synthesized and characterized using the …
