Abstract:Computational studies on boranes, in recent years, are summarized with the special emphasis on the macropolyhedral boranes. Computational studies to understand the energetics, geometry, aromaticity, and reactivity of boranes and substituted boranes are reviewed. There is a recent interest in macropolyhedral boranes because of their uses in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) of cancer, ionic liquids, weakly coordinating ions, and materials chemistry. The
