“…Prior to our involvement, the only non-halogen containing perfunctionalized six-membered closo -boron clusters were the neutral hypercloso -B 6 (NEt 2 ) 6 , 41,42 with Berndt and co-workers also disclosing the synthesis and structure of the dimethyl analogue, hypercloso -B 6 (NMe 2 ) 6 . 43 Given our interest in the development of chemistry and applications of perfunctionalized boron clusters, 44–46 we reexamined the reactivity of the closo -[B 6 H 7 ] 1− anion.…”

This Viewpoint Article describes major advances pertaining to perfunctionalized boron clusters in synthesis and their respective applications. The first portion of this work highlights key synthetic methods allowing one to access a wide range of polyhedral boranes (B4 and B6 – B12 cluster cores) that contain exhaustively functionalized vertices. The second portion of this Viewpoint showcases the historical developments in using these molecules for applications ranging from materials science to medicine. Lastly, we suggest potential new directions for these clusters as they apply to both synthetic methods and applications.
