TL;DR: A new approach to form atomically precise and highly tunable hybrid nanomolecules with well-defined three-dimensionality is reported, which allows the rapid generation of precise molecular assemblies for investigating multivalent interactions.

TL;DR: The development of a new class of phosphorescent zwitterionic bis(heteroleptic) Ir(III) compounds containing pyridyl ligands with weakly coordinating nido-carboranyl substituents is reported, suggesting that the use of a ligand framework containing aWeakly coordinating anionic component can provide a new avenue for designing efficient Ir( III)-based phosphorescent emitters.

TL;DR: This work reports the synthesis and characterization of a series of d8 metal complexes featuring robust and photophysically innocent strong-field chelating 1,1′-bis(o-carborane) (bc) ligand frameworks.

TL;DR: This Viewpoint describes major advances pertaining to perfunctionalized boron clusters in synthesis and their respective applications, and suggests potential new directions for these clusters as they apply to both synthetic methods and applications.

TL;DR: For the first time, the use of bromo-carboranes in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling for efficient B-N, B-O, and unprecedented B-CN bond formation is reported.
