Abstract

Carboranes are an important class of electron-delocalized icosahedral carbon–boron clusters with unique physical and chemical properties, which can offer various functions to polymers including enhanced heat-resistance, tuned electronic properties and hydrophobicity, special ability of dihydrogen bond formation, and thermal neutron capture. Carborane-containing polymers have been synthesized mainly by means of step-growth polymerizations of disubstituted carborane monomers, with chain-growth polymerizations of monosubstituted carborane monomers including ATRP, RAFT, and ROMP only utilized recently. Carborane-containing polymers may find application as harsh-environment resistant materials, ceramic precursors, fluorescent materials with tuned emissive properties, novel optoelectronic devices, potential BNCT agents, and drug carriers with low cytotoxicity. This review highlights carborane-containing polymer synthesis strategies and potential applications, showcasing the versatile properties and possibilities that this unique family of boron compounds can provide to the polymeric systems.

含碳硼烷聚合物：合成、性质和应用

碳硼烷是一类重要的电子定位二十面体碳硼簇，具有独特的物理和化学特性，可为聚合物提供各种功能，包括增强耐热性、调整电子特性和疏水性、形成二氢键的特殊能力以及热中子捕获。含碳硼烷的聚合物主要是通过二取代碳硼烷单体的阶跃生长聚合法合成的，单取代碳硼烷单体的链增长聚合法（包括 ATRP、RAFT 和 ROMP）最近才得到应用。含碳硼烷聚合物可用作耐恶劣环境材料、陶瓷前体、具有可调发射特性的荧光材料、新型光电器件、潜在的 BNCT 药剂和低细胞毒性药物载体。本综述重点介绍了含硼聚合物的合成策略和潜在应用，展示了这一独特的硼化合物家族可为聚合物系统提供的多种特性和可能性。
