Abstract
A polyarylborane comprising a substituted polyhedral borane comprising at least 3 exohedrally bonded aryl groups, wherein the substituted polyhedral borane is homo- or hetero-, and each exohedrally bonded aryl group is independently homo- or hetero-, substituted or unsubstituted, and monocyclic or polycyclic. Also, molecules and materials comprising the polyarylborane, and methods for making the polyarylboranes.

A polyarylborane comprising a substituted polyhedral borane comprising at least 3 exohedrally bonded aryl groups, wherein the substituted polyhedral borane is homo- or hetero-, and each exohedrally bonded aryl group is independently homo- or hetero-, substituted or unsubstituted, and monocyclic or polycyclic.
A method of producing a polyarylborane that comprises a substituted polyhedral borane comprising at least 3 exohedrally bonded aryl groups, wherein the substituted polyhedral borane is homo- or hetero-, and each exohedrally bonded aryl group is independently homo- or hetero-, substituted or unsubstituted, and monocyclic or polycyclic, the method comprising heating a reaction mixture that comprises a liquid phase solvent and a solute polyhedral borane in the solvent, wherein the solvent comprises one or more arenes, to react at least one of the polyhedral boranes and at least one of the arenes for a duration sufficient to form the substituted polyhedral borane comprising at least 3 exohedrally bonded aryl groups, wherein the polyhedral borane is homo- or hetero-, and the arene is homo- or hetero-, substituted or unsubstituted, and monocyclic or polycyclic.
