Abstract
Iridium-catalyzed carboxylic acid directed site-selective B–H/C–H dehydrogenative cross-coupling of o-carborane with thiophenes has been achieved for the first time, leading to the preparation of 4-thienyl-o-carboranes in a simple one-pot process for potential applications in materials.

Abstract
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 synthesis, radionuclide handling, drug design, heat-resistant polymers, cancer therapy, nanomaterials, catalysis, metal-organic frameworks, molecular machines, batteries, electronic devices, and more. This perspective highlights selected examples in which the special attributes of carboranes and metallacarboranes are being exploited for targeted purposes in the laboratory and in the wider world.

[PMID: 25213111 DOI: 10.1007/s00894-014-2415-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2014] [Accepted: 08/04/2014] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
In 2009, an innovative type of lithium decahydroborate (Li@B(10)H(14)) complex with a basketlike complexant of decaborane (B(10)H(14)) was designed and studied. Theoretical investigation is very important for designing high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. In the present work, an unusual Li@B(10)H(14) dimer with different spin multiplicities was designed theoretically to explore the influence of the spin multiplicity on NLO properties: 1 (triplet), 2 (open-shell singlet) and 3 (singlet). Interestingly, the results show that the intersection angle (between cage A and cage A') follows the order of 1 (13.71°) > 2 (1.65°) > 3 (0°). As a result, the first hyperpolarizability (β(tot)) value follows the order of 1 (19,129 a.u.) < 2 (35,992 a.u.) < 3 (77,660 a.u.). Additionally, 1, 2 and 3 of λ(max) shows an apparent red shift with three spin multiplicities in the absorption spectrum. The results of this work can be expected to provide useful information for designing high-performance NLO materials based on decaborane.
