Recent advances in carborane-siloxane polymers

Studies on the effect of polyhedral carboranes on the physicochemical properties of polycarboranosiloxanes

“…The only drawback of such systems is that there is no clear understanding of the "structure-property relationship" for polycarboranosiloxanes obtained previously. [38][39][40][41] Obviously, the number of carborane moieties and their distribution along the siloxane chain play a key role in the properties of the target polymers. Thus, one of the important goals of studies in the preparation of polycarboranosiloxanes is the development of approaches for the synthesis of such polymers with a particular composition and structure, identification of the effect of the content of carboranyl moieties on the properties of the target polymers, and the study of their thermal and rheological characteristics.…”

Tuning of the height of energy barrier between locally-excited and charge transfer states by altering the fusing position ofo-carborane in phenylnaphthalene

“…Boron atoms can form various types of cluster compounds constructed by three-center two-electron bonds. 1,2 Among them, o-carborane (1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane) has been widely investigated as heat-resistant materials, 3 medicinal reagents, 4 and photoluminescent compounds 5 because of its high stability and wide modifiability. One unique property of o-carborane is flexibility of the C cage -C cage distance (C cage represents carbon in o-carborane) which can be varied in response to the external environment alteration.…”

Alternately π‐Stacked Systems Assisted by o‐Carborane: Dual Excimer Emission and Color Modulation by Bcage‐Methylation

“…o-Carborane (1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane, C 2 B 10 H 12 ) is an icosahedral cluster compound and is expected to act as a scaffold in various fields. [11][12][13][14][15] Recently, it was discovered that some o-carboranes can show solid-state excimer emission and stimuli-responsiveness. For example, 1,2diaryl-o-carboranes showed triple emission properties consisting of locally excited (LE) emission, charge-transfer emission, and intramolecular excimer emission.…”
