Efficient non-doped OLEDs have been achieved using new binuclear tetracoordinate organoboron complexes containing 2-(N-aryl)formiminopyrrolyl ligands.

Boron deficiency and phytohormone interactions have been studied in unfertilized cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) ovules grown in vitro. Such ovules required exogenous indoleacetic acid and/or gibberellic acid for fiber elongation. Boron also was required for maintenance of fiber elongation and normal morphogenesis throughout 14 days of culture. The amount of exogenous boron necessary for maximum fi...

Addition of H2to BH3 yields BE5, which is shown to be of Cq symmetry. Rearrangement mechanisms and hydrogen loss have been examined. Intermediates such as B3H7 and B4H8 have been predicted to have vacant orbital structures in which the stability gained by filling that orbital is balanced by strain in converting a terminal hydrogen to a bridge hydrogen. Other factors, such as hyperconjugative in...

Herein we propose and validate the hamster cheek pouch model of oral cancer for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) studies. This model serves to explore new applications of the technique, study the biology and radiobiology of BNCT, and assess the uptake of boron compounds and response of tumor, precancerous tissue, and clinically relevant normal tissues. These issues are central to evaluating...

Biodistribution of two compounds presently considered for use in neutron capture therapy has been studied in mice carrying a transplantable Harding-Passey melanoma. A method is described by which quantitative assessment can be made of the boron distribution in whole-body sections of such animals. An alpha-particle-sensitive film is placed in close contact with a freeze-dried section of an anima...

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...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of some boron compounds, which have fire retardant properties, as well as melamineurea-formaldehyde (MUF) resins having different melamine contents (10%, 15%, and 20%) on some physical and mechanical properties of medium density fiberboard (MDF) panels. It was found that the water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) of MDF panels ...

The use of additives in the contacting surfaces is essential for formation a thin lubricant film, which separates moving from each other. Boron compounds, particular, are very helpful sliding surfaces. aim investigation to clarify how boron influence lubricating ability engine oil using contact cam-follower. In this study, considerable results tests with compounds and base obtained. And also, i...

Introduction: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a method of cancer treatment and potentially, two borono-L-phenylalanine (BPA) and sodium borocaptate (BSH) are used in BNCT as common boron carriers. Some previous studies have shown that the dose rate is directly related to boron concentration in the tissue. This study aimed to simulate the structure of boron carriers and brain tumor compo...
