Although the [CB(11)H(12)](-) carborane does not exhibit an absorption band in UV, its triplet excited state can be generated upon 308 nm laser excitation; also unexpectedly carborane acts as electron donor forming a charge transfer complex with methylviologen that upon illumination gives rise to viologen radical cation.

We have examined the insertion of carbenes carrying leaving groups into the [-BH] dianion to form the [-1-CBH] anion. The best procedure uses CFSiMe and LiCl as the source of CF. It is simple, convenient and scalable and proceeds with 70-90% yield.

We report a method to obtain carba-closo-dodecaborate anion CBH from boron cluster BH in up to 95% yield using difluorocarbene to complete the carborane cluster. Difluorocarbene itself comes from readily available Ruppert-Prakash reagent CFSiMe. The synthesis is straightforward to carry out in heavy wall glass pressure tubes without the need for a glove-box and is easily scalable to 15 g scale.

A series of cage penta-arylated carboranes have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of the C-carboxylic acid of the monocarba- closo-dodecaborate anion [CBH] with iodoarenes by direct cage B-H bond functionalization. These transformations set a record in terms of one-pot directing group-mediated activation of inert bonds in a single molecule. The methodology is characterized by high yields, good functional group tolerance, and complete cage regioselectivity.

Monocarba-closo-dodecaborate (1; [closo-CB11H12](-), or C1-carborane anion) is a symmetrical, stable anionic cluster, which possesses low nucleophilicity/basicity and exhibits three-dimensional aromaticity. In contrast to the rich applications of C2-carborane molecules (C2B10H12), the chemistry of the C1-carborane anion as a platform for functional molecules has not been thoroughly studied thus far due to the lack of its efficient functionalization. In particular, no efficient general methods are available for the introduction of aryl and sp(2)/sp-carbon groups at the carbon vertex of the C1-carborane anion.

Unlocking the full potential of rechargeable magnesium batteries has been partially hindered by the reliance on chloride-based complex systems. Despite the high anodic stability of these electrolytes, they are corrosive toward metallic battery components, which reduce their practical electrochemical window. Following on our new design concept involving boron cluster anions, monocarborane CB11H12(-) produced the first halogen-free, simple-type Mg salt that is compatible with Mg metal and displays an oxidative stability surpassing that of ether solvents.
