The negatively charged dodecaborate cluster [B12H12] 2-(first described more than six decades ago ) was recently found to have properties quite uncommon among anions, and which can best be described as superchaotropic. Potential applications of this exceptional property are plentyful. The superchaotropicity of dodecaborates manifests itself, among other, in good water solubility and simultaneously a strong interaction with hydrophobic surfaces. It would therefore be highly desirable to combine this unit and its special properties with compounds possessing other properties, or transfer their unique properties to other molecules.
