Although known for over 90 years, only in the past two decades has the chemistry of diboron
(4) compounds been extensively explored. Many interesting structural features and reaction …

Proteases form one of the largest and more important groups of enzymes. They selectively
catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds and can be divided into four major classes …

Nucleophilic, anionic boryl compounds are long-sought but elusive species. We report that
reductive cleavage of the boron-bromine bond in N, N′-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-2 …

Abstract Shear-stiffening polyborosiloxane (PBS), well-known as “silly putty”,“bouncing
putty” or “solid-liquid”, has been widely used in protective armors, sport equipment, toys and …

Chemical communication is a phenomenon exhibited by many different organisms and
nowadays is one of the most prominent research areas at the chemistry-microbiology …

New reactivities of silylboranes are described with their applications to organic synthesis.
The silylboranes add to unsaturated organic compounds such as alkynes, alkenes, 1, 3 …

The detailed mechanism for the diboration of aldehydes catalyzed by (NHC) Cu (boryl)
complexes (NHC= N-heterocyclic carbene) was studied with the aid of DFT by calculating …

Stable isotopes have become vital tools in drug development and discovery. Because of the
unique high neutron absorption properties of boron-10, boron neutron capture therapy …

In the absence of transition metal catalysts, the unsymmetrical diborane (4), pinB-BMes2,
reacted with alkynes to afford diborylalkenes. The isomer ratio of the products could be …

The synthesis and characterization of novel N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilized
dialanes Al2Mes4 as well as first investigations concerning the reactivity of these …
