Boron atom has received much attention from scientists owing to its unique characters, such as short covalent radius, electron deficiency, large coordination number, sp2 hybridization of valence electrons and three-center bonds. Due to the research of the electronic structure, stability, aromaticity and bonding nature, boron clusters have become a sparkling rising star on the horizon of chemistry. Meanwhile, boron compounds have a vast applications in optics, energy and industrial gas storage because of their rich features. This paper systematicly reviewes the recent research progresses of pure-boron clusters, borane and metal-doped boron clusters. The pure-boron clusters and borane are generalized from neutral, anionic and cationic three types. The metal-doped boron clusters mainly include metal-doped all-boron clusters and borane, transition-metal sandwich-type complexes as well as metal-centered boron molecular wheels.
