Chemical modification of dodecaborates (Na2B12H12)
The functionalization of dodecaborates has attracted much attention, both for the development of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). We have successfully synthesized a new water‐soluble dendrimer that bears B12‐cluster terminals with potential applications in BNCT. Moreover, the physical modification of SWCNTs with boron cluster dendrimer furnished SWCNT/(boron cluster dendrimer) nanohybrids that exhibit NIR‐I‐to‐NIR‐II fluorescence. Further investigations into the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of the materials are currently in progress.
