Abstract
A review is presented on the methods of incorporation of phosphorus vertices into borane, carborane and heteroborane clusters. The structural diversity of boron cluster compounds allows for the synthesis of various types of phosphaboranes, phosphacarboranes and phosphaheteroboranes of structurally different cluster shapes, sizes, and positional isomerism. The phosphaborane compounds outlined in this work are direct analogues of corresponding carboranes. This analogy is the main reason for recent interest and developments in this area. A review with 45 references.
Keywords: Boron; Boranes; NMR spectroscopy; Phosphaboranes; Phosphacarboranes; Heteroboranes.
