This review covers the application of cycloaddition reactions in forming the boron-containing compounds such as symmetric star-shaped boron-enriched dendritic molecules, nano-structured boron materials and aromatic boronic esters. The resulting boron compounds are potentially important reagents for both materials science and medical applications such as in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in cancer treatment and as drug delivery agents and synthetic intermediates for carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions. In addition, the use of boron cage compounds in a number of cycloaddition reactions to synthesize unique aromatic species will be reviewed briefly.

... Biomass represents one of the most abundant sustainable products being constantly regenerated at the Earth's surface. Derived from a wide range of plant, animal and microbial materials it is made up by approximately seventy-five percent carbohydrates [109]. For example, through the photosynthesis process, trees transform trapped solar energy into biomass -carbohydrates in the form of cellulose, lignin and proteins. ...

... Carboranes display a rich chemistry, at the level of the C−H groups, but also in som cases at the level of B−H groups. The chemistry of carboranes has been reviewed [7,8], particular with emphasis on their biological properties [9]. Indeed, the large number boron atoms present in these boron clusters made them desirable instruments for canc treatment using boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). ...
