From the Viewpoint of Boron Cluster Chemistry
New Aspects of Boron Cluster Chemistry:
Since structural determination of boron clusters, the boron cluster chemistry
has been developed in the field of inorganic structural chemistry and boron
neutron capture therapy. Boron cluster chemistry should expand to
other field of science, for example, medicinal chemistry, supramelecular
chemistry and materials sciences. We will participate the development of
the boron cluster chemistry on the basis of organic chemistry. Our current
projects in the field of boron chemistry are as follows.
A New Medicinal Application of Boron Clusters:
Utility of Carborane As a Hydrophobic Pharmacophore
Electronic Effects of Boron Clusters:
Analysis of a New Neighboring Effects in the Reaction Mechanisms
Molecular Construction Based on the Shape of Boron Clusters:
Application for Design of Functionalized Molecules
