Appl Radiat Isot. 2011 Dec;69(12):1774-7. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2011.01.043. Epub 2011 Apr 12.

Abstract

Recent achievements in design and synthesis of boronated acids, amino acids, glycerols as well as conjugates of polyhedral boron hydrides (ortho-carborane, closo-dodecaborate and cobalt bis(dicarbollide)) with natural porphyrins, carbohydrates and nucleosides are described.
