The backbone linker for two ortho-bis-(9-borafluorene)s influences the LUMO at the boron centers and the reactivity of the respective compounds.

The on-surface self-assembly of molecules to form holey nanographenes is a promising approach to control the properties of the resulting 2D lattice. Usually, planar molecules are utilized to prepare flat, structurally confined molecular layers, with only a few recent examples of warped precursors. However, control of the superstructures is limited thus far. Herein, we report the temperature-controlled self-assembly of a bowl-shaped, acetylated C

Bis(1‐(4‐tolyl)‐carboran‐2‐yl)‐(4‐tolyl)‐borane [(1‐(4‐MeC6H4)‐closo‐1,2‐C2B10H10‐2‐)2(4‐MeC6H4)B] (1), a new bis(o‐carboranyl)‐(R)‐borane was synthesised by lithiation of the o‐carboranyl precursor and subsequent salt metathesis reaction with (4‐tolyl)BBr2. Cyclic voltammetry experiments on 1 show multiple distinct reduction events with a one‐electron first reduction. In a selective reduction experiment the corresponding paramagnetic radical anion 1.− was isolated and characterized. Single‐crystal structure analyses allow an in‐depth comparison of 1, 1.−, their calculated geometries, and the S1 excited state of 1. Photophysical studies of 1 show a charge transfer (CT) emission with low quantum yield in solution but a strong increase in the solid state. TD‐DFT calculations were used to identify transition‐relevant orbitals., Stabilization via three‐coordinate boron allows the isolation of a paramagnetic radical anion of ortho‐carborane. A photophysical, electrochemical and crystallographic study backed by DFT calculations shines light on closo‐nido intermediate structures, charge transfer processes and electron accepting ability.

A nickel/N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B2(neop)2 (neop=neopentyl glycolato). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron‐deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni‐catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans‐[Ni(ICy)2(4‐CF3‐C6H4){(SO)‐4‐MeO‐C6H4}] 4. For complex 5, the isomer trans‐[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(OSC6H5)] 5‐I was structurally characterized in which the phenyl sulfinyl ligand is bound via the oxygen atom to nickel. In solution, the complex trans‐[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(OSC6H5)] 5‐I is in equilibrium with the S‐bonded isomer trans‐[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(SOC6H5)] 5, as shown by NMR spectroscopy. DFT calculations reveal that these isomers are separated by a mere 0.3 kJ/mol (M06/def2‐TZVP‐level of theory) and connected via a transition state trans‐[Ni(ICy)2(C6H5)(η2‐{SO}‐C6H5)], which lies only 10.8 kcal/mol above 5., A nickel/N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B2(neop)2 (neop=neopentyl glycolato). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. Elucidation of key mechanistic features of this newly developed reaction led to the identification of fully characterized nickel intermediates.

We observed a surprisingly high electronically driven regioselectivity for the iridium‐catalyzed C−H borylation of donor‐π‐acceptor (d‐π‐A) systems with diphenylamino (1) or carbazolyl (2) moieties as the donor, bis(2,6‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)boryl (B(FXyl)2) as the acceptor, and 1,4‐phenylene as the π‐bridge. Under our conditions, borylation was observed only at the sterically least encumbered para‐positions of the acceptor group. As boronate esters are versatile building blocks for organic synthesis (C−C coupling, functional group transformations) the C−H borylation represents a simple potential method for post‐functionalization by which electronic or other properties of d‐π‐A systems can be fine‐tuned for specific applications. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the borylated (1‐(Bpin)2) and unborylated (1) diphenylamino‐substituted d‐π‐A systems were investigated. Interestingly, the borylated derivative exhibits coordination of THF to the boronate ester moieties, influencing the photophysical properties and exemplifying the non‐innocence of boronate esters., That's the spot! A surprisingly high regioselectivity was observed for an iridium‐catalyzed C−H borylation of conjugated donor‐π‐acceptor systems with bis(2,6‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)boryl (B(FXyl)2) as the acceptor group. The borylated system exhibits an unexpected hypsochromic shift of the emission from toluene to THF, likely due to coordination to the boronate ester moieties (see figure).

Defunctionalization of readily available feedstocks to provide alkenes for the synthesis of multifunctional molecules represents an extremely useful process in organic synthesis. Herein, we describe a transition metal-free, simple and efficient strategy to access alkyl 1,2-bis(boronate esters) via regio- and diastereoselective diboration of secondary and tertiary alkyl halides (Br, Cl, I), tosylates, and alcohols. Control experiments demonstrated that the key to this high reactivity and selectivity is the addition of a combination of potassium iodide and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA). The practicality and industrial potential of this transformation are demonstrated by its operational simplicity, wide functional group tolerance, and the late-stage modification of complex molecules. From a drug discovery perspective, this synthetic method offers control of the position of diversification and diastereoselectivity in complex ring scaffolds, which would be especially useful in a lead optimization program.

One-electron chemical reduction of 10-(dimesitylboryl)-N,N-di-p-tolylbenzo[c]phenanthrene-4-amine (3-B(Mes)2-[4]helix-9-N(p-Tol)2) 1 and 13-(dimesitylboryl)-N,N-di-p-tolyldibenzo[c,g]phenanthrene-8-amine (3-B(Mes)2-[5]helix-12-N(p-Tol)2) 2 gives rise to monoanions with extensive delocalization over the annulated helicene rings and the boron pz orbital. Two-electron chemical reduction of 1 and 2 produces open-shell biradicaloid dianions with temperature-dependent population of the triplet states due to small singlet-triplet gaps. These results have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, EPR and UV/vis-NIR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations., Stepwise chemical reduction of D–π–A triarylborane-based helicenes gives the corresponding monoanions and dianions with delocalized unpaired electrons. The structures were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

The proper modelling of fluid flow through annular gaps is of great interest in leakage calculations for many applications in fluid power technology. However, while detailed numerical simulations are certainly possible, they are very time consuming, in various cases prone to numerical instabilities and may not even include all physically relevant effects. This is an issue especially in system simulations, where a large set of computations is needed in order to prepare the lookup-tables for the required input fields. In this work, an analytical approximation for the shear force, which is induced by viscous flow between two eccentric cylinders, is presented. This relation, and its derivation, mimics and enhances the well-known Piercy-relation for the corresponding volume flow that is utilized in state-of-the-art system simulation tools. To determine its range of validity, the analytical relation for the shear force is compared to 3D-simulations. Additionally, an application of this approximation for creating digital twins of hydraulic valves is also discussed in this work.

A novel and convenient methodology for the one‐pot synthesis of sterically congested triarylboranes by using bench‐stable aryltrifluoroborates as the boron source is reported. This procedure gives systematic access to symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted triarylboranes of the types BAr2Ar’ and BArAr'Ar’’, respectively. Three unsymmetrically substituted triarylboranes as well as their iridium‐catalyzed C−H borylation products are reported. These borylated triarylboranes contain one to three positions that can subsequently be orthogonally functionalized in follow‐up reactions, such as Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐couplings or Sonogashira couplings., A widely applicable one‐pot synthetic approach to air‐ and moisture‐stable triarylboranes with up to three different aromatic rings starting from bench‐stable boron precursors is reported. In addition, these compounds are shown to be easily post‐functionalized, thus making them versatile building blocks for the syntheses of functional materials.

Using 4‐phenylpyridine or 2‐phenylpyridine in place of biphenyl, two electron‐poor phenylpyridyl‐fused boroles, [TipPBB1]4 and TipPBB2 were prepared. [TipPBB1]4 adopts a unique coordination mode and forms a tetramer with a cavity in both the solid state and solution. The boron center of TipPBB2 is 4‐coordinate in the solid state but the system dissociates in solution, leading to 3‐coordinate borole species. Compared to its borafluorene analogues, the electron‐accepting ability of TipPBB2 is largely enhanced by the pyridyl group. TipPBB2 exhibits dual fluorescence in solution due to an equilibrium between free TipPBB2 and a weak intermolecular coordination adduct with a second molecule. This equilibrium was further investigated by low‐temperature NMR spectroscopy and photophysical studies. Theoretical studies indicate that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of TipPBB2 localizes at the Tip group, in contrast to its borafluorene derivatives, wherein the HOMOs are localized on the borafluorene cores., Phenylpyridyl‐fused boroles [TipPBB1]4 and TipPBB2 were synthesized and their properties investigated. [TipPBB1]4 forms a tetramer in both the solid state and solution. TipPBB2 contains a 4‐coordinate boron atom in the solid state but dissociates to give a 3‐coordinate boron species in solution. TipPBB2 shows interesting temperature‐dependent dual fluorescence in solution because of the equilibrium between 3‐ and 4‐coordinate boron species due to weak N⋅⋅⋅B intermolecular coordination.

In this combined experimental and theoretical study, a computational protocol is reported to predict the excited states in D‐π‐A compounds containing the B(FXyl)2 (FXyl = 2,6‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) acceptor group for the design of new thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters. To this end, the effect of different donor and π‐bridge moieties on the energy gaps between local and charge‐transfer singlet and triplet states is examined. To prove this computationally aided design concept, the D‐π‐B(FXyl)2 compounds 1–5 were synthesized and fully characterized. The photophysical properties of these compounds in various solvents, polymeric film, and in a frozen matrix were investigated in detail and show excellent agreement with the computationally obtained data. Furthermore, a simple structure–property relationship is presented on the basis of the molecular fragment orbitals of the donor and the π‐bridge, which minimize the relevant singlet–triplet gaps to achieve efficient TADF emitters., A combination of experiment and theory leads to new insights into accurately and cost‐efficiently predicting the phenomenon of thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The calculations guide syntheses in optimizing the energy gaps between the states of different multiplicity involved in order to develop new efficient emitter materials.

Taking advantage of an improved synthesis of [Ti(η(6) -C6 H6 )2 ], we report here the first examples of ansa-bridged bis(benzene) titanium complexes. Deprotonation of [Ti(η(6) -C6 H6 )2 ] with nBuLi in the presence of N,N,N',N'',N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (pmdta) leads to the corresponding 1,1'-dilithio salt [Ti(η(6) -C6 H5 Li)2 ]⋅pmdta that enables the preparation of the first one- and two-atom-bridged complexes by simple salt metathesis. The ansa complexes were fully characterized (NMR spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography) and further studied electrochemically and computationally. Moreover, [Ti(η(6) -C6 H6 )2 ] is found to react with the Lewis base 1,3-dimethylimidazole-2-ylidene (IMe) to give the bent sandwich complex [Ti(η(6) -C6 H6 )2 (IMe)].

Sixty-four patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL; 18 patients with indolent subtype and 46 with aggressive subtype) associated with human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) were analyzed using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The most frequent observations were gains at chromosomes 14q, 7q, and 3p and losses at chromosomes 6q and 13q. Chromosome imbalances, losses, and gains were more frequently observed in aggressive ATL than in indolent ATL, with significant differences between the 2 ATL subtypes at gains of 1q and 4q. An increased number of chromosomal imbalances was associated with a significantly shorter survival in all patients. A high number of chromosomal losses was associated with a poor prognosis in indolent ATL, whereas the presence of 7q+ was marginally associated with a good prognosis in aggressive ATL. Paired samples (ie, samples obtained at different sites from 4 patients) and sequential samples from 13 patients (from 6 during both chronic disease and acute crisis and from 7 during both acute onset and relapse) were examined by CGH and Southern blotting for HTLV-1. All but 2 paired samples showed differences on CGH assessment. Two chronic/crisis samples showed distinct results regarding both CGH and HTLV-1 integration sites, indicating clonal changes in ATL at crisis. In 11 patients, the finding of identical HTLV-1 sites and clonally related CGH results suggested a common origin of sequential samples. In contrast to chronic/crisis samples, CGH results with all acute/relapse sample pairs showed the presence of clonally related but not evolutional subclones at relapse, thereby suggesting marked chromosomal instability. In summary, clonal diversity is common during progression of ATL, and CGH alterations are associated with clinical course. (Blood. 2001;97:3875-3881)
