Azabora[5]helicene Charge-Transfer Dyes Show Efficient and Spectrally Variable Circularly Polarized Luminescence.

Three helicenes based on a borylated arylisoquinoline skeleton have been prepared in their enantiopure forms and characterized with respect to their photophysical properties, including the use of chiroptical spectroscopies. The dyes show varying charge-transfer characteristics and efficient emission (quantum yields between 0.13 and 0.

Strongly Emissive and Photostable Four-Coordinate Organoboron N,C Chelates and Their Use in Fluorescence Microscopy.

Six strongly fluorescent four-coordinate organoboron N,C chelates containing an aryl isoquinoline skeleton were prepared. Remarkably, the fluorescence quantum yields reach values of up to 0.74 in oxygen-free toluene.

Preparation and pH-switching of fluorescent borylated arylisoquinolines for multilevel molecular logic.

The preparation of pH-switchable fluorescent borylated arylisoquinoline dyes via a flexible iridium-catalyzed route is reported. The obtained dyes feature aromatic amino substitution and lateral aliphatic amino groups as electron donors. The photophysical properties of the internal charge transfer dyes were studied, which was complemented by density functional theory calculations.

Pinacolborane as the boron source in nitrogen-directed borylations of aromatic N,N-dimethylhydrazones.

A mild procedure for the Ir(III)-catalyzed nitrogen-directed ortho borylation of aromatic N,N-dialkylhydrazones using pinacolborane as the boron source has been developed. The methodology relies on a modified, hemilabile N,N ligand built on a 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine unit that provides high reactivity while maintaining exclusive ortho-selectivity. This procedure can be combined with Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings in a 'one-pot' fashion to afford functionalized biaryl derivatives that, upon subsequent 'one-pot', high yielding transformations, provide a convenient entry for the preparation of advanced benzonitrile intermediates for the synthesis of Sartan-type drugs.

Hydrazone as the directing group for Ir-catalyzed arene diborylations and sequential functionalizations.

The use of hemilabile pyridine-hydrazone N,N-ligands allows the highly selective Ir-catalyzed ortho,ortho'-directed diborylation of aromatic N,N-dimethylhydrazones in near-quantitative yields. One-pot sequential Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with different aryl bromides provides a short entry to unsymmetrically substituted 2,6-diarylbenzaldehyde derivatives.

Evaluation of the Campbell test and the influence of age, sex, breed, and coat color on puppy behavioral responses.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the Campbell test and discover if there is a link between a puppy's scores and factors such as age, breed, sex, sex-breed interaction, size, Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) groups, and coat color. The Campbell test was performed on 342 puppies (191 males and 151 females) of different breeds. The results show that the criteria used by Campbell to classify puppies are incomplete, and that it is more appropriate to use numerical values for each type of answer.
