Carboranes

__Carboranes, Third Edition__, by Russell Grimes, is the definitive resource on the subject. Completely updated with a wealth of research and review articles published in this active field since the previous volume was released in 2011, the book provides a readable and concise introduction to the basic principles underlying the synthesis, structures, and reactions of carboranes, heterocarboranes, and metallacarboranes. Following the valuable foundational information, the book explores the advances in practical applications for the many areas in which experts have discovered that carboranes afford new possibilities for solving problems and advancing the science. These disciplines include polymer science, catalysis, biomedicine, nanomaterials, and others. * Includes over 2,000 molecular structure drawings throughout the text * Features expanded coverage on applications of carboranes, particularly in biomedicine and nanomaterials, given the growth of research in these areas * Presents extended and updated tables, listing thousands of compounds with key literature references, provided online via the book’s website * Explores the advances in practical applications for the many areas in which experts have discovered that carboranes afford new possibilities for solving problems and advancing the science
