Carboranes are electron-delocalized molecular clusters containing boron, carbon and hydrogen. Because of their high stability and structural variability, they are interesting for a wide range of applications including nanoscale engineering, catalysis and boron neutron capture therapy. Here, we present the fabrication of a novel boron-based two-dimensional (2D) material via electron irradiation induced cross-linking of carborane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silver or gold substrates. The SAMs, the cross-linking process and the resulting 2D nanosheets have been characterized with different complementary surface sensitive techniques including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
