“…Similarly, for other closo -borate anions of general type [B n H n ] 2− (n = 6–12), the main approaches for their functionalization are based on electrophilic and nucleophilic processes. Using these methods, derivatives with exo -polyhedral B–C [ 28 , 29 , 30 ], B–N [ 31 , 32 , 33 ], B–O [ 34 , 35 , 36 ], B–S [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], and B–Hal [ 40 , 41 ] (Hal =F,Cl,Br,I) bonds have been received. Nitrilium derivatives of general type [B n H n N≡CR 2 ] − (R 2 = Me, Et, t Bu, Ph) (n = 10,12) are a very suitable molecular platform for creating molecular systems with given properties [ 42 , 43 , 44 ].…”
