英文摘要：

Owing to the useful properties such as three-dimensional geometric structure, enriched boron content, thermal and chemical stabilities, caboranes have been widely applied in the fields of materials, catalysis, medicine, supramolecules, coordination chemistry, etc. Therefore, much attention has been paid to develop efficient and regioselective methodologies for direct cage B-H bond functionalization of carborane. In this review, the reaction categories and mechanisms about diverse cage B-H bond functionalization of carborane have been summarized, which might offer useful references for future research.
