This Viewpoint 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 (B and B-B 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. Last, we suggest potential new directions for these clusters as they apply to both synthetic methods and applications.
本观点阐述了关于合成中功能化硼簇及其各自应用的主要进展。这项工作的第一部分重点介绍了关键的合成方法，使人们能够获得广泛的多面体硼烷（硼和硼 - 硼簇核），这些硼烷的顶点经过了全面功能化。本观点的第二部分展示了在将这些分子用于从材料科学到医学等各种应用方面的历史发展。最后，我们针对这些簇在合成方法和应用方面提出了潜在的新方向。
