Abstract
The syntheses of the dodeca(carboranyl)-substituted closomers, dodeca[7-(2-methyl-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-1-yl)heptanoate]-closo- dodecaborate(2-) and dodeca[7-(8-methyl-7,8-dicarba-nido-dodecaboran-7-yl)- heptanoate]-closo-dodecaborate(14-) are reported. These boron-rich, unimolecular nanospheres possess great potential for future use as drug-delivery platforms for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).
