Tetraiodo-ortho-carborane based X-ray contrast agents can be readily prepared in a high yield, fast, clean, regioselective fashion by a solvent-free reaction of ortho-carboranes with iodine in sealed tubes.
[EN] The incorporation of iodine atoms onto the boron vertices of the o-carborane framework causes, according to spectroscopic data, a uniform increase in the acidic character of the C-c-H (C-c= cluster carbon) vertices, ...

[EN] Over the years, extensive research has been carried out to optimize the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by adopting different techniques as well as catalysts. Conducting organic polymers such as PEDOT have been employed ...
[EN] The crystal structures of numerous iodinated ortho-carboranes have been studied, which has revealed the diversity of intermolecular interactions that these substances can adopt in the solid state. The nature-mostly ...

[EN] o-Carborane derivatives with precisely defined patterns of substitution have been prepared from 8,9,10,12-I-4-1,2-closo-C2B10H8 by replacing the iodine atoms, bonded to four adjacent boron vertices in the cluster, ...
[EN] New unsymmetrical selenides bearing an o-carborane and a naphthalene ring as the substituents were prepared by the cleavage of the corresponding diselenides. The compounds were characterized by means of spectroscopic ...
