Calculations show that the unexpected low phenyl migratory aptitude observed in reactions of mixed alkyl-aryl boranes with benzylic sulfur ylides can be attributed to (1) a conformational issue, (2) the reduction of the usual neighbouring effect of the phenyl in the transition state by the benzylic nature of the migrating terminus, (3) steric hindrance suffered by the larger phenyl group migrat...

In the title dye compound, C(19)H(14)BF(7)N(2), the boron-dipyrromethene core lies on a crystallographic mirror plane which bis-ects the BF(2) and penta-fluoro-phenyl groups. The dihedral angle between the penta-fluoro-phenyl ring and the tricyclic system is thus 90° by symmetry. The sp(3)-hybridized B atom has a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination.

We demonstrate a universal approach to extract one- and two-dimensional nanomaterials from contaminated water, which is based on a microscopic oil-water interface trapping mechanism. Results indicate that carbon nanotubes, graphene, boron nitride nanotubes, boron nitride nanosheets, and zinc oxide nanowires can be successfully extracted from contaminated water at a successful rate of nearly 100...

A new dual-boron-cored luminogen ligated with a nitrogen-containing multidentate ligand and four bulky phenyl rings was readily synthesized. The unique molecular structure endows this BN-containing luminogen with rich photophysical properties in either solution or in the solid state, including a large Stokes shift, aggregation induced emission activity and reversible piezochromism. Furthermore,...

We have synthesized a series of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB, 2,2-diphenyl-1,3,2-oxazaborolidine) analogs and tested their ability to inhibit thrombin-induced Ca(2+) influx in human platelets. The analogs were either synthesized by adding various substituents to the oxazaborolidine ring (methyl, dimethyl, tert-butyl, phenyl, methyl phenyl, and pyridyl) or increasing the size of the oxaza...

An efficient method for the synthesis of 2,3,5,6-tetrasubstituted tetrahydropyrans has been developed from the reaction of aldehydes and ethyl 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl/hydroxy(phenyl)methyl)-5-methylhex-4-enoate using (3,5)-oxonium-ene reaction promoted by boron trifluoride etherate in good yields under mild conditions.

Condensation of 2H-benzo[g][1,2]oxasilocines with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of boron trifluoride affords mixtures of cis/trans 2-phenyl-3-vinylchromans with moderate yields. These can be transformed into homopterocarpans, a synthetic group of substances homologous to the natural isoflavonoid pterocarpans.

In the title compound, C(19)H(18)BF(2)IN(2), which is a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivative, the BODIPY mean plane forms dihedral angles of 88.95 (4) and 78.21 (3)° with the F/B/F and 4-iodo-phenyl planes, respectively.

A novel multifunctional 1,6-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine boron bis(4-n-butyl-phenyl)phenyleneamine compound in which the hole-transporting (HT), electron-transporting (ET), and emitting (EM) components are integrated into a single molecule was synthesized and used as an emitting material to fabricate an efficient single-layer electroluminescent device.
