Claim 10:
11. The process for the preparation of a multifunctional compound as claimed in claim 1, which process comprises mixing together under reaction conditions at least three component compounds, which component compounds are adapted to covalently bond to form a complex having a tripodal boronated core and one or more substituents selected from:
(a) at least one therapeutically useful cargo molecule or a residue thereof;
(b) at least one water-soluble moiety or a residue of a water-soluble molecule;
(c) at least one functionalizing moiety capable of being post-functionalised with a targeting unit or a residue of a targeting molecule; and/or
(d) at least one targeting unit or a residue of a targeting molecule;
in which any residue of a molecule is such that, on breaking at least one covalent bond of the multifunctional compound, the complete molecule is released; and
wherein the process optionally further comprises a post-functionalisation step, during which at least one functionalizing moiety is substituted by a targeting unit.
