Big Borane Assemblies, Macropolyhedral Species and Related Chemistry

Original language description

Structural and behavioral chemistries based on carbon hydrides are extensive. It can be argued that chemistries based on boron hydrides are in principle similarly extensive. Molecular chemistry based on boron-hydrides is characterised by cluster formation, and has been dominated by work on single-cluster compounds. For an extensive 'big molecule' chemistry based on boron hydrides-one that rivals the extent of chemistry based on carbon hydrides-a chemistry that is based on the intimate fusion of single-cluster borane-based entities, to generate so-called 'macropolyhedral' species, has developed. In contrast to carbon-based chemistry, and thence with no natural feedstocks available, boron-containing cluster chemistry is entirely a human-made creation, and so the area necessarily progresses by exploratory experimental chemistry augmented more recently by computational approaches. This chapter attempts to offer a perspective on aspects of the field of larger borane-based molecular compounds from the approach of preparative and pragmatic bench science, and, in accord with the general theme of this volume, points out areas in which calculational chemistry has played a role and in which useful future roles can be envisaged. Following from the initial elucidation-now more than about thirty years ago-of most of the basic binary boron-hydride macropolyhedrals, an emphasis is placed on subsequent work which has largely been concerned with metallaboranes, thiaboranes and metallathiaboranes, as well as very intimately fused globular 'megaloborane' entities.
