Abstract

Boron, the neighbor element to carbon in the periodic table, is characterized by unique electron deficiency that fosters multicenter delocalized bonding, contributing to its diverse chemistry. Unlike carbon cages (fullerenes), which preserve their structural integrity under endohedral or exohedral doping, larger boron cages (borospherenes) exhibit diverse structural configurations. These configurations can differ from those of pure boron cages and are stabilized by various metals through unique metal–boron bonding, resulting in a variety of metalloborospherenes. Due to boron’s electron deficiency, metalloborospherenes exhibit fascinating chemical bonding patterns that vary with cluster size and the type of metal dopants. This review paper highlights recent advancements in metalloborospherene research, drawing comparisons with metallofullerenes, and focuses on the use of transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides as dopants across various cage dimensions.

金属富勒烯的金属硼烯类似物

硼是元素周期表中与碳相邻的元素，其独特的电子缺陷促进了多中心脱局域键合，从而产生了多样化的化学反应。碳笼（富勒烯）在内向或外向掺杂的情况下仍能保持其结构的完整性，与之不同的是，较大的硼笼（硼二烯）表现出多种多样的结构构型。这些构型可能与纯硼笼的构型不同，并通过独特的金属-硼键被各种金属所稳定，从而形成各种金属硼烯。由于硼的电子缺陷，金属硼烷呈现出迷人的化学键模式，并随着簇大小和金属掺杂剂类型的不同而变化。本综述论文重点介绍了金属硼圈烯研究的最新进展，并与金属富勒烯进行了比较，重点介绍了在各种笼尺寸中使用过渡金属、镧系元素和锕系元素作为掺杂剂的情况。
