Synthesis and chemical properties of the closo-dodecaborate anion [B 1 2 H 1 2 ] 2 - and its derivatives are reviewed. Attention is also paid to potential applications of the closo-dodecaborate derivatives with emphasis on medical applications. A review with 325 references.

Chemistry of closo-Dodecaborate Anion [B12H12]2-: A Review

Boranes, heteroboranes and metallacarboranes, all named as boron clusters, offer an alternative to typical organic molecules or organic molecular materials Carbon and boron share the important property of self-catenation thus these elements can produce individually large and sophisticated molecules Boron clusters and organic molecules display electronic, physical, chemical and geometrical characteristics manifestly different These differences highlight the complementarity of organic molecules and boron clusters, and therefore the feasibility or necessity to produce hybrid molecules incorporating both types of fragments To join these two types of fragments, or alternatively these two types of molecular compounds, tools are needed In this review the current methods of producing boron clusters with carbon, B–C, nitrogen, B–N, phosphorus, B–P and sulphur bonds, B–S, are indicated As there are many existing borane clusters of different sizes, heteroboranes and metallacarboranes, the revision of methods to generate the B–C, B–P, B–S, and B–N bonds has been restricted to the most widely used boron clusters; [B12H12]2−, dianionic and an example of a borane, 1,2-C2B10H12, neutral and an example of a heteroborane, and [Co(C2B9H11)2]−, monoanionic and an example of a metallacarborane
