Carboranes (or carbaboranes) are electron-delocalized (non-classically bonded)
clusters composed of boron,
carbon and
hydrogen atoms. Like many of the...

Carborane acids H(CXB 11Y 5Z 6) (X, Y, Z = H, Alk, F, Cl, Br, CF3) are a
class of superacids, some of
which are
estimated to be at
least one
million times...

Carborane is the
organoboron compound with the
formula C2B10H12. The
prefix ortho is
derived from ortho. It is the most
prominent carborane. This...
