title: Boron-enriched star-shaped molecule via cycloaddition reaction.
abstract: The facile synthesis of a thermally stable carborane appended symmetrical star-shaped molecule having six bulky o-carborane clusters on the periphery, thereby containing sixty boron atoms was accomplished via a cobalt-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction.
