Recent Advances in Carborane-Based Crystalline Porous Materials

The field of carborane research has witnessed continuous development, leading to the construction and development of a diverse range of crystalline porous materials for various applications. Moreover, innovative synthetic approaches are expanding in this field. Since the first report of carborane-based crystalline porous materials (CCPMs) in 2007, the synthesis of carborane ligands, particularly through innovative methods, has consistently posed a significant challenge in discovering new structures of CCPMs. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of recent advances in various synthetic approaches for CCPMs, along with their applications in different domains. The primary challenges and future opportunities are expected to stimulate further multidisciplinary development in the field of CCPMs.
