Abstract：

Boron,　positioned　to　the　left　of　carbon　in　the　periodic　table　with　one　fewer　electron,　exhibits　unique　chemical　properties.　Tricoordinate　boron　compounds　are　typically　electron-deficient,　acting　as　strong　Lewis　acids　in　general　with　electrophilic　behavior.　In　contrast,　tetracoordinate　boron　compounds,　featuring　a　tetrahedral　geometry,　display　nucleophilicity　and　enable　transformations　such　as　migration,　transmetallation,　and　oxidation.　Boron　compounds　serve　as　versatile　synthons,　reagents,　and　catalysts　in　organic　reactions.　Incorporating　boron　into　conjugated　systems　enhances　chemical　diversity　and　modulates　optoelectronic　properties,　while　the　vacant　p　orbital　of　boron　imparts　high　electron　affinity　and　unique　stimulus-responsive　characteristics.　Additionally,　boron　forms　deltahedral　clusters　in　polyhedral　(car)boranes,　which　are　air-and　moisture-stable　and　distinct　from　traditional　hydrocarbon　structures.　This　review　provides　an　overview　of　the　fundamental　properties　and　diverse　applications　of　boron　compounds　across　various　fields.　(Figure　presented.)　©　Science　China　Press　2025.
