  • Three-dimensional boron-rich clusters
    Patent number: 11479470
    Abstract: Novel three-dimensional molecular clusters and methods of their synthesis are provided. The three-dimensional molecular clusters may be perfunctionalized polyhedral boranes and carboranes. The three-dimensional clusters may be configured to manipulate the photophysical properties of other materials, including, for example, for use as photooxidants or as components in organic light-emitting diode materials. Methods are also provided for synthesizing and perfunctionalizing such three-dimensional clusters. The three-dimensional clusters may also be configured for use as organomimetic materials.
    Type: Grant
