The empty pz-orbital of a three-coordinate organoboron compound leads to its electron-
deficient properties, which make it an excellent π-acceptor in conjugated organic …

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 …

The development of a one‐step borylation of 1, 3‐diaryloxybenzenes, yielding novel boron‐
containing polycyclic aromatic compounds, is reported. The resulting boron‐containing …

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 effects of different electronic and structural factors in determining the Lewis acidity of
boron compounds are analyzed. Scales of Lewis acidity for boron Lewis acids based on the …

Heteroatom do** is a powerful strategy to alter the electronic structure of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Especially boron do** endows PAH scaffolds with …

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 …

Boron, a group 13 element, has several characteristic structural and electronic features: 1)
trivalent boron compounds usually adopt a trigonal planar geometry; 2) due to the presence …

The incorporation of boron into the core structure of fused polycyclic aromatics generates
compounds with highly attractive properties that have recently received significant attention …

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 …
