Cyclic oxonium derivatives of polyhedral boron hydrides and their synthetic applications

Abstract

Cyclic oxonium derivatives of polyhedral boron hydrides are a relatively new class of boron compounds. They have great potential for the modification of various types of organic and bioorganic molecules and the synthesis of compounds that could be used in different fields from the treatment of nuclear wastes to the treatment of cancer. In the present Perspective we would like to present an overview of the results of the preparation and synthetic application of these compounds.
