description Product Description
Used as a building block in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) due to its high boron content and stability, m-Carborane is incorporated into tumor-targeting molecules to deliver boron-10 to cancer cells. Upon neutron irradiation, it enables localized destruction of malignant tissue. It is also employed in the development of heat-resistant polymers and advanced materials, where its icosahedral structure enhances thermal and chemical stability. In medicinal chemistry, it serves as a hydrophobic pharmacophore, improving drug binding and metabolic resistance. Additionally, m-Carborane is utilized in organometallic chemistry and catalysis, acting as a ligand with unique electronic properties.
