As three-dimensional analogs of benzene, carboranes have attracted much attention in recent years in modulating the photophysical properties of organic chromophores and constructing organic luminescent compounds due to their unique three-dimensional cage geometries and electronic properties, in particular showing a unique role in the design and synthesis of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) compounds. In this review, the structural types and synthetic methods of carborane AIE compounds are summarized, with a special focus on the new advances in related synthetic methods. The main synthetic methods include constructing the o-carborane skeleton with suitable alkynes and decaborane (derivatives), reactions of aryl/alkenyl/alkynyl reagents with carborane derivatives, reactions of AIE species with carborane derivatives, transformation of carborane AIE compounds, catalytic B—H activation of carborane compounds, and deboronation of the closo-carborane cluster. Based on such progress, the research trends and application prospects of carborane AIE compounds are envisioned.

Key words: carborane, aggregation-induced emission, synthesis, catalysis
