In comparison to inorganic electrode materials utilised in energy storage systems, organic
electrode materials possess several advantages, including the lightweight nature …

The history of silyl cations has all the makings of a drama but with a happy ending. Being
considered reactive intermediates impossible to isolate in the condensed phase for …

IUPAC defines Lewis acidity as the thermodynamic tendency for Lewis pair formation. This
strength property was recently specified as global Lewis acidity (gLA), and is gauged for …

A study of 1304 data points collated over 266 papers statistically evaluates the relationships
between carbon nanotube (CNT) material characteristics, including: electrical, mechanical …

The computed fluoride ion affinity (FIA) is a valuable descriptor to assess the Lewis acidity of
a compound. Despite its widespread use, the varying accuracy of applied computational …

Anti-van't Hoff–Le Bel configured p-block element species possess intrinsically high
reactivity and are thus challenging to isolate. Consequently, numerous elements in this …

Motivated by the discovery of main group Lewis acids that could compete or possibly
outperform the ubiquitous organoboranes, several groups, including ours, have engaged in …

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 …

Steric and electronic effects play a very important role in chemistry, as these effects influence
the shape and reactivity of molecules. Herein, an easy-to-perform approach to assess and …

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 …
