Description

Boranes: The collective name for the boron hydrides, which are analogous to the alkanes and silanes. Numerous boranes are known. Some have high calorific values and are used in high-energy fuels. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

borane : The simplest borane, consisting of a single boron atom carrying three hydrogens.

Research Excerpts

Overview

Carboranes are a class of carbon-containing polyhedral boron cluster compounds with globular geometry and hydrophobic surface. They interact with hormone receptors such as estrogen receptor (ER) and androgen receptor (AR)
