Article Abstract
The synthesis and biological evaluation of two ortho-carborane derivatives which contain a 5,6,7-trimethoxyindole (TMI) unit for use in boron neutron capture therapy is described. The TMI moiety is known to be the DNA-binding part of the highly potent anticancer agent duocarmycin A. The ortho-carborane derivatives were prepared from amino alkynes which were bound to a protected TMI carboxylic acid. Addition of decaborane(14) to the alkyne triple bond with subsequent removal of the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) and benzyl protecting groups gave the desired product. Boron uptake from the ortho-carborane derivatives into B-16 melanoma cells was higher and faster than that observed with L-p-boronophenylalanine (BPA), which is in use in the clinic.

This study presents the successful synthesis of two perylenediimide (PDI)-based -carborane (-carborane) derivatives, PDI-CB1 and PDI-CB2, through the insertion of decaborane into alkyne-terminated PDIs (PDI1 and PDI2). The introduction of -carborane groups did not alter the optical properties of the PDI units in solution compared to their carborane-free counterparts, maintaining excellent fluorescence quantum yields of around 100% in various solvents. This was achieved by using a methylene linker to minimize electronic interaction between PDI and -carborane, and by incorporating bulky -carborane groups at imide- position to enhance solubility and prevent π-π stacking-induced aggregation.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the synthesis of β-diketiminato complexes of calcium and magnesium that react with carborane (-CBH) to form new complexes, specifically [(BDI)Mg(-CBH)] and [(BDI)Ca(-CBH)].
- - The magnesium complex is a monomer with a distorted planar structure, while the calcium complex exhibits a puckered geometry due to intermolecular interactions, which can be altered when THF is added, leading to a 4-coordinate monomer.
- - The magnesium complex [(BDI)Mg(-CBH)] reacts with various copper group metals to create rare examples of coinage metal complexes, demonstrating that these alkaline earth compounds can effectively facilitate transmetalation of the car
Carboranylphosphines: B9-Substituted Derivatives with Enhanced Reactivity for the Anchoring to Dendrimers.

Several ortho-carboranes bearing a phenoxy or a phenylamino group in the B9 position were prepared employing various protection and deprotection strategies. Following established protocols, dendritic compounds were synthesized from a hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene or thiophosphoryl chloride core, and possible anchoring options for the B9-substituted ortho-carboranes were investigated experimentally and theoretically (DFT). Furthermore, 1- or 1,2-phosphanyl-substituted carborane derivatives were obtained.

A new NMR method for structural verification and B resonance assignment in (car)borane clusters is presented, based on the measurement of B residual quadrupolar couplings (RQCs) in a stretched polystyrene (PS) gel. The method was applied to -carborane (BCH), a derivative thereof with reduced symmetry, -carborane and decaborane (BH).

The crystal structures of two isomeric triiodo derivatives of -carborane containing substituents in the three most electron-withdrawing positions of the carborane cage, 1,2,3-I-1,2-CBH, and the three most electron-donating positions, 8,9,12-I-1,2-CBH, as well as the crystal structure of 8,9,12-Br-1,2-CBH, were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the structure of 1,2,3-I-1,2-CBH, an iodine atom attached to the boron atom (position 3) donates its lone pairs simultaneously to the σ-holes of both iodine atoms attached to the carbon atoms (positions 1 and 2) with the I⋯I distance of 3.554(2) Å and the C-I⋯I and B-I⋯I angles of 169.
