Reveals a novel method for B–H bond functionalization in nido-carboranes, suggesting new synthetic pathways.

The research aims to develop a strategy for selective B–H bond functionalization in boron clusters.
Conducted structural rearrangements of B–O substituted nido-carboranes.
Utilized diverse nucleophiles, including N-heterocycles and thioethers.
Investigated mechanisms supporting nucleophile-induced migration at the boron cage.
Achieved selective B–H functionalization at previously inaccessible positions.
Demonstrated synthetic utility through modification of drug molecules and synthesis of boron delivery agents.
Constructed carborane-based luminogens with notable properties such as aggregation-induced emission.

Zhang et al. (2026) studied this question.
