To combine the neutron-capturing and photodynamic properties of boron nanoclusters and derivatives of natural chlorins, respectively, in one molecule, conjugate of chlorin e6 methyl ester with cyclen and dioxane and nitrile derivatives of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) were synthesized. The conditions for the purification of compounds by HPLC were selected since the work with natural compounds is complicated by the production of closely related impurities.

Herein, we report on the synthesis and stereochemistry of mono- and isomeric dinitrile derivatives of [(1,2-CBH)-3,3'-Co] ions. The shape and electronic properties of CN groups can apparently surmount the strain associated with the substitution of two vicinal carbon positions. Owing to electron donation to the cage, this results in a substituent-induced rearrangement of one of the carbon atoms to the upper pentagonal ring.

Metallacarboranes, exemplified by cobalt bis(dicarbollide) ([COSAN]), have excelled their historical metallocene analogue label to become promising in drug design, medical studies, and fundamental biological research. Serving as a unique platform for conjugation with biomolecules, they also constitute an auspicious building block for biologically active derivatives and a carrier for cellular transport of membrane-impermeable cargos. Modified [COSAN] exhibits specific antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer actions showing promise for preclinical trials.

Carbon substituted cobalt bis(dicarbollide) alkyl halides [(1-X-(CH)-1,2-CBH)(1,2-CBH)-3,3'-Co]MeN (X = Br, I; = 1-3) are prepared in high yields (>90%) from their corresponding alcohols without side skeletal substitutions. These species offer access to the synthesis of aromatic cobalt bis(dicarbollide) amines, however only for particular terminal halogen substitution, the propylene pendant arm, and under appropriately controlled reaction conditions. Thus, the compounds substituted at cage carbon atoms with a propylene linker and terminal aromatic amine groups could be prepared.
