TL;DR: The phenyl-substituted thiaborane, synthesized and crystalized in this study, forms sulfur⋅ⓂⓁ type chalcogen bonds, and this discovery expands the possibilities of applying substituted boron clusters in crystal engineering and drug design.

TL;DR: Even though the accuracy achieved for the theoretical delta(11B) values is somewhat lower than that for heteroboranes at conventional ab initio levels, the level of density functional employed can afford qualitatively reliable chemical shifts, which can be useful in assignments and structural refinements of heterOBoranes containing transition metal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation and characterization of micrometer gold and silver single-crystals of well-defined shapes are reported, and the shapes of the crystal faces can be described as plates, polyhedra, and wires.

TL;DR: In this article, a density functional study at the BP86 level is presented for metal bis(dicarbollides), [3-M-(1,2-C2B9H11)2]n (M/n = Fe,Ru/2−, Co,Rh/1−, Ni,Pd/0), as well as selected mixed-and half-sandwich complexes.

TL;DR: The interaction between flat silver surfaces and carboranethiol derivatives, and its relevance regarding the molecular protection of silver against corrosion by hydrogen sulphide, is reported in this article.
