3-(Diethylboryl)pyridine (1a), a versatile starting material for the preparation of arylpyridines, is notable for its stability under ambient conditions, in spite of little steric hindrance on the boron atom. (1)H and (13)C spectra of 1a indicated that the boryl group does not act as a mere pi-acceptor and that the boron atom is shielded by ca. 50 ppm even when compared with trivalent boron atoms conjugated with the pi-donor. A single-crystal X-ray crystallographic study for 1a revealed formation of a cyclic-tetramer with a void via the intermolecular boron-nitrogen coordination bond. Vapor pressure osmometry in various solvents suggested that 1a comprises the tetramer in these solutions. In order to know the actual structure, synthesis of 3-(2-methoxyethoxy)-5-(diethylboryl)pyridine (1b) and its scrambling experiment with 1a were carried out. Heating at 100 degrees C for 24 h was required to attain the equilibrium of the scrambling of the component molecules in the tetramers. This means that 3-(diethylboryl)pyridines 1a and 1b comprise the rigid cyclic-tetramer in solution at ambient temperature. Compound 1b is stable in aerated tetrahydrofuran containing up to 33 % water.

Article Synopsis
- Thermoplastic polyimides are popular in electronics due to their performance but struggle with low thermal conductivity.
- This study explored nanocomposites made from semicrystalline (R-BAPB, BPDA-P3) and amorphous (ULTEM) polyimides combined with hexagonal nanoparticles like graphene, graphene oxide, and boron nitride to enhance thermal properties.
- Results showed that incorporating these nanoparticles improved thermal conductivity, especially with increased concentrations, by forming aggregate structures that facilitated phonon transport, despite affecting the mobility of polymer chains.

The geometrical structure, stability, electronic properties, and hydrogen storage capabilities of a titanium-doped B cluster was calculated using density functional theory computations. The results show that the TiB cluster is predicted to be stable under near-ambient conditions based on an ab initio molecular dynamic simulation. The transition state analysis found that the H molecule can dissociate on the TIB cluster surface to form a hydride cluster.

Two boron-doped molecular carbons (BMCs), featuring one formal boron-inserted pentalene (BP) embedded into the CB or CB polycyclic π-skeleton, were successfully synthesized. Despite their small-size conjugated structures, both of them exhibit unusual broad light absorption, narrow energy gaps, and electron-accepting ability, as well as local antiaromaticity with pseudo 4π electrons. As disclosed, these intriguing physical properties are significantly contributed by the boron atom and pentagonal ring in the BP substructure, thus demonstrating the importance of such BP incorporation into polycyclic π-systems.

ConspectusTriangulene (TRI) and its heterotriangulene (HT) derivatives are planar, triangle-shaped molecules that, via suitable coupling reactions, can form extended organic two-dimensional (2D) crystal (O2DC) structures. While TRI is a diradical, HTs are either closed-shell molecules or monoradicals which can be stabilized in their cationic form.Triangulene-based O2DCs have a characteristic honeycomb-kagome lattice.

Clusters represent intermediate states between isolated atoms and bulk solids. They serve as model systems to elucidate the physical properties of compounds from the atomic or molecular scale to the macroscopic bulk phase. Here, we perform thorough structure searches of neutral boron doped nitrogen clusters by crystal structural analysis by particle swarm optimization cluster structural prediction and density functional theory calculations.
