Boron Cluster Anions Dissolve En Masse in Lipids Causing Membrane Expansion and Thinning

| Wiley Online Library Verified
Introduction In contrast to organic molecules, which are generally limited by the tetravalency of carbon to aliphatic or planar aromatic frameworks, boron has an intrinsic propensity to undergo multivalent interactions and form three-dimensional inorganic cage structures.1, 2 An example is the icosahedral dodecaborate cluster di-anion, B12H122−, which displays 3D-aromaticity3 with delocalized σ instead of π bonds.

Superchaotropic boron clusters have been systematically studied to understand the principles modulating their ability to transport hydrophilic cargos across lipid membranes and inside cells. In their Research Article (e202404286), Irene Lostalé-Seijo, Werner M. Nau, Javier Montenegro et al. showed that size and polarizability are more important than the chemical composition of the clusters, establishing the bases for the prediction of their carrier potential and toxicity.
