BF(2) complexes containing tetracene and perylene moieties were synthesized as new types of electron-deficient arene compounds. These compounds exhibit long wavelength absorption and high electron affinities, as revealed through spectral and electrochemical studies, due to their quadrupolar structures represented by resonance contributors. The BF(2) complex containing tetracene exhibits an n-type semiconducting behavior. These compounds are new types of electron acceptors functionalized by BF(2) chelation.

Chickens are renowned as a model for embryogenesis but have also been responsible for crucial advances in virology, cancer research and immunology. However, chickens are best known as a major source of animal protein for human nutrition, with roughly 80 billion chickens alive each year supplying meat and eggs, the vast majority part of a global poultry industry. As a result, avian immunology been studied intensively for over 60 years, and it has become clear that a major genetic locus in chickens determining resistance to infectious disease and response to vaccines is the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

BF, volatile amines (VOAs), and biogenic amines (BAs) are the key indicators in chemical reaction catalysis and food quality monitoring. In this study, we present two types of fluorescent sensors, a hydrazone ligand (HL)-based fluorescent sensor for BF detection and a novel sensor array using six boron difluoride (BF) hydrazone complexes (BFHs) for monitoring VOAs and BAs. Spectral research indicates that the interaction mechanism between the HLs and BF is based on intramolecular charge transfer (ICT).

Composting of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is accompanied by the emission of large volumes of harmful, hazardous and foul-smelling volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To improve the efficiency of terpenes removal, which constitute a significant part of VOCs, pure cultures of microorganisms dominating in its microbiota were isolated from the microbial community of the biofilter, which has been cleaning such emissions for a long time. Seven pure cultures were isolated and then tested for being able to grow on a mineral medium in the presence of terpene vapor as the only source of carbon and energy.

A series of N,O donor-based mono- and binuclear four-coordinated boron complexes were synthesized. Depending on the substitution and spacer, these complexes exhibit intense blue, green and yellow emission in solution states. Notably, the fluorescence quantum yields (Φ) and fluorescence decay (lifetime, τ) of mononuclear boron complexes (2 a-2 e) were higher than the binuclear boron complexes (2 f-2 k).

1-Azaazulene was adopted as a new ligand moiety for boron difluoride (BF) complexes, resulting in large red shifts of the absorption bands up to 103 nm compared to their isomeric quinoline-based complexes. Such change was attributed to the nonalternant nature of 1-azaazulene, as the complexes maintained the intrinsic 10π-peripheral electronic structure. exhibited the most red-shifted absorption among reported BF complexes containing a phenolic backbone, and the absorption edge of reached the red region.
