Recently, the Institute of Elemental Chemistry, School of Chemistry, Zhengzhou University has made positive progress in the field of selective functionalization of o-carborane. The research paper titled “Palladium-Catalyzed Regioselective B(9)-Amination of o-Carboranes and m-Carboranes in HFIP with Broad Nitrogen Sources” were published in theJournal of the American Chemical Society.a leading chemistry journal. The School of Chemistry of Zhengzhou University is both the first and the corresponding unit, and the corresponding authors of the paper are Professor Chen Xuenian and Dr. Ma Yanna.

The research was supported by the Key Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, General Program and Youth Program, and the Talents Subject Program of Zhengzhou University.
