Transition metal complexes with charge-compensated dicarbollide ligands

• Synthesis of metallacarboranes contain charge-compensated moiety was discussed.
• Most investigated metallacarboranes contain sulfonium fragment.
• Syntheses of metallacarboranes from metal source and ligand are the most known.

The review covers synthesis and chemistry of transition metal complexes with charge-compensating dicarbollide ligands including combination of the charge-compensated carboranes and metal complexes and chemical modification of preliminary synthesized metallacarboranes.
