This article describes comparison of the anchoring effect on electronic properties of the helicene-like bibenzothiophene between o-carborane and 5,6-dicarba-nido-decaborane. The o-carborane and nido-decaborane-fused b...
Carboranes are a class of boron hydride clusters in which one or more of the BH vertices are replaced by CH units.Unlike small boranes, carboranes are kinetically and thermodynamically very stable as well as relativel...
