Carboranes, 3rd Edition, is a textbook by Russell N. Grimes that presents foundational principles and practical applications of carborane chemistry.
The volume details the synthesis, structures, and reactions of carboranes, heterocarboranes, and metallacarboranes. It also surveys applied fields where these cluster compounds solve chemical problems, highlighting roles in catalysis, polymer science, biomedicine, and nanomaterials.
Intended for chemistry researchers in inorganic, organic, and organometallic fields, the text contains over 2,000 molecular structure drawings. The work received a 2017 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty) from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association.
