Boron has one valence electron less than a carbon atom and an available vacant pz orbital.
The incorporation of sp2‐hybridized boron atoms into the host lattice of a polycyclic aromatic …

This review covers all aspects of 9-borafluorene chemistry, from the first attempted synthesis
in 1960 to the present. This class of molecules consists of a tricyclic system featuring a …

The synthesis of tris (ortho‐carboranyl) borane (BoCb3), a single site neutral Lewis
superacid, in one pot from commercially available materials is achieved. The high fluoride …

(Hetero) arene-fused boroles are a class of compounds containing a 5-membered boron
diene-ring. Based on their molecular framework, the (hetero) arene-fused boroles can be …

Most of the chemical and biological processes involving the fixation and transformation of
small molecules have long been exclusive for metal complexes. Meanwhile, the last …

Three-dimensional (3D) analogues of 9-borafluorenes,(C2B10H10) 2BR (R= Cl (1), Br (2), H
(3, merely as ether or silane adduct), phenyl (4), mesityl (5)), were synthesized and fully …

The choice of backbone linker for two ortho-bis-(9-borafluorene) s has a great influence on
the LUMO located at the boron centers and, therefore, the reactivity of the respective …

Boron-containing aromatic systems exhibit unique electronic properties and reactivities that
have been extensively studied for a long time. This review highlights the recent …

Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in the field of BN/CC isosterism, particularly in
the case of azaborinines. Examples of each isomer have now been synthesized and …

A two-step synthesis sequence furnishes quadruply annulated borepins in high yields. The
first step involves a nucleophilic substitution reaction between aryl–BF3K salts (aryl= mesityl …
