The structural chirality is an inherent feature of fully synthetic boron cluster compounds that sometimes exhibit unique biochemical effects. HPLC studies with zwitter-ionic cluster boron compounds and electrophoretic studies with boron cluster anions reveal that the chiral separability of these species is remarkably dissimilar to that of organic species, if uncharged cyclodextrins are used as chiral selectors. Furthermore, marked differences were found between the analytical characteristics of the chiral separations of the boron cluster species and those of the organic species with uncharged cyclodextrins. The present-day experimental database indicates that the rules valid for the chiral separations of the organic species cannot be applied to the chiral separations of the boron cluster species without experimental verification. The current extent of research work devoted to the investigation of chirality and chiral separations of boron cluster species is negligibly small in comparison with that devoted to the investigation of chirality and chiral separations of organic species. This makes difficult a reliable explanation of both the particularities observed in chiral separations of boron cluster species with cyclodextrins as chiral selectors and the strange effects related to these separations at the moment.

Atomic clusters exhibit properties that fall between those found for individual atoms and bulk solids. Small boron clusters exhibit planar and quasiplanar structures, which are novel materials envisioned to serve as a platform for designing nanodevices and materials with unique physical and chemical properties. Through past research advancements, experimentalists demonstrated the successful incorporation of transition metals within planar boron rings.

To understand the interactions of entomopathogenic fungi with forage plants and their influence on associated herbivorous, we evaluated the influence of endophytic colonization with three isolates (CEPAF_ENT 25, CEPAF_ENT 27, and IBCB 425) of Metarhizium anisopliae on Cynodon dactylon, regarding the biological and behavioral aspects of Collaria scenica, an emerging sucking pest in pastoral systems in Brazil. The application of suspensions at the base of plant (drench) was effective in promoting endophytic colonization, especially in the roots, with emphasis on isolates CEPAF_ENT25 and CEPAF_ENT27. Despite the significant reduction in damage caused by C.

Using the first principle calculations, we propose a boron and nitrogen cluster incorporated graphene system for efficient valley polarization. The broken spatial inversion symmetry results in high Berry curvature at and valleys of the hexagonal Brillouin zone in this semiconducting system. The consideration of excitonic quasiparticles within the approximation along with their scattering processes using the many-body Bethe-Salpeter equation gives rise to an optical gap of 1.

The pursuit of boron-based organic compounds with multiresonance (MR)-induced thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is propelled by their potential as narrowband blue emitters for wide-gamut displays. Although boron-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in MR compounds share common structural features, their molecular design traditionally involves iterative approaches with repeated attempts until success. To address this, we implemented machine learning algorithms to establish quantitative structure-property relationship models, predicting key optoelectronic characteristics, such as full width at half maximum (FWHM) and main peak wavelength, for deep-blue MR candidates.

A theoretical investigation, employing density functional theory with the PBE functional and the Def2-TZVP basis set, comprehensively explores the geometric and electronic structures and properties of the boron doped scandium clusters BSc with = 2-3 and = 3-13. Introduction of B atoms significantly enhances the stability of the resulting clusters with respect to the initial counterparts. As the number of B atoms increases, the stability of the doped clusters improves, following the order: BSc > BSc > BSc > Sc.
