title: Carborane functionalized pyrroles and porphyrins via the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction.
abstract: A new route to carboranylated pyrroles and porphyrins is reported which involves the Suzuki coupling of readily available bromo- and boronic acid-pyrroles and bromoporphyrins with functionalized carboranes; the X-ray structures of two targeted products are presented and discussed.
