boron toxicity usually occurs in arid and saline soils. among all the pollutant'sresource, irrigation water is the most important factor in boron elevating in the soil.modification of boron-rich soils is difficult and in this case, resistant varieties can playan important role in increasing the cultivation in areas with high boron level. to assessthe effects of different concentrations of ...

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an effective clinical method in cancer treatment based on fission reactions and nuclear capturing. In this method, use of the best boron-containing agents for boron therapy and boron delivery agent for transfer to the infectious site are the key points for  efficienct treatment. Our research indicated that calcium fructoborate(CF) was the best compound as...

Nine new monomeric boronates of the type 2-phenyl-6-aza-1,3-dioxa-2-borabenzocyclononen-4-ones (3a /3i) were prepared from N -(2-hydroxybenzyl)-a-aminoacids 1a /1i and phenylboronic acid 2 using 20:1 benzene /DMSO mixtures. The compounds were characterized by H-, C-, B-, Nand 2D-NMR (HETCOR, NOESY and COLOC) experiments, FT infrared, mass spectra and elemental analysis. Suitable monocrystals of...

boron (b) is a non-metal micronutrient which is essential for plants growth and development. formation of boron complex with cell wall matrix and phenolic compounds is a definite influence of boron in physiological process. it has been suggested that b-toxicity and deficiency may induce excess production of reactive oxygen species thereby promote defense responses by antioxidant enzymes or non-...

A boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorometric probe, HCS, has been successfully developed for the highly sensitive and selective detection of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). The probe is based on the specific HOCl-promoted oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide. The reaction is accompanied by a 160-fold increase in the fluorescent quantum yield (from 0.003 to 0.480). The fluorescent turn-on mechanis...

The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is a metal-catalysed reaction in which boron-based nucleophiles and halide-based electrophiles are reacted to form a single molecule. This is one of the most reliable tools in synthetic chemistry, and is extensively used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and organic materials. Herein, we report a significant advance in the choice of electrophil...

Boron dipyrromethene dyes bearing nitro, amino, isocyanate and isothiocyanate functions were readily prepared under mild conditions. Various combinations allow to produce urea, diurea, thiourea, dithiourea in the 3, 4 and 5-substitution positions of the appended phenyl group. Condensation of the 3,4-substituted diamino derivative with 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione and 6-formyl-2-methylpyridine ...

Density functional calculations have been performed to analyze the electronic and mechanical properties of a number of 2D boroxine-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are experimentally fabricated from di-borate aromatic molecules. Furthermore, the band structures are surprising and show flat-band characteristics which are mainly attributed to the delocalized π-conjugated electrons...
