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 …

Conspectus Molecules and materials with easily tunable electronic structures and properties
are at the forefront of contemporary research. π-Conjugation is fundamental in organic …

A growing number of organopnictogen redox catalytic methods have emerged—especially
within the past 10 years—that leverage the plentiful reversible two-electron redox chemistry …

Metal–ligand cooperativity has emerged as an important strategy to tune the reactivity of
transition-metal complexes for the catalysis and activation of small molecules. Studies of …

Low valent group 14 compounds exhibit diverse structures and reactivities. The employment
of diazaborolyl anions (NHB anions), isoelectronic analogues to N-heterocyclic carbenes …

(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 …

Aromaticity, in general, can promote a given reaction by stabilizing a transition state or a
product via a mobility of π electrons in a cyclic structure. Similarly, such a promotion could …

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 three-dimensional inorganic analogues of 9, 10-diboraanthracene, B2X2 (C2B10H10) 2
(X= Cl, 1; X= Br, 2), were attained by salt elimination of Li2C2B10H10 and trihaloboranes …

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 …
