The interaction of B-H-functionalized boron nanoparticles with alkenes and nitrogen-rich ionic liquids (ILs) is investigated by a combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, and helium ion microscopy. Surface B-H bonds are shown to react with terminal alkenes to produce alkyl-functionalized boron particles. The interaction of nitrogen-rich ILs with the particles appears, instead, to be dominated by boron-nitrogen bonding, even for an ILs with terminal alkene functionality. This chemistry provides a convenient approach to producing and capping boron nanoparticles with a protective organic layer, which is shown to protect the particles from oxidation during air exposure. By controlling the capping group, particles with high dispersibility in nonpolar or polar liquids can be produced. For the particles capped with ILs, the effect of particle loading on hypergolic ignition of the ILs is reported.

Sialic acid, a negatively charged nine-carbon monosaccharide, is mainly located at the terminal end of glycan chains on glycoproteins and glycolipids of cell surface and most secreted proteins. Elevated levels of sialylated glycans have been known as a hallmark in numerous cancers. As a result, sialic acid acts as a useful and accessible cancer biomarker for early cancer detection and monitoring the disease development during cancer treatment which is crucial in elevating the survival rate.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) significantly impacts the well-being of older people around the world. However, the accurate detection of glycosylated amyloid-beta (Aβ) proteins, which serve as important biomarkers for AD, remains challenging due to their extremely low levels. To address these issues, we proposed a method for fabricating a flexible and stable sensor platform based on an innovative boronic acid-based covalent organic framework COF-B(OH).

Antibiotic resistance combined with bacteria internalization result in recurrent infections that seriously threaten human health. To overcome these problems, a pH/HO dual-responsive nanoparticle (COSBN@CFS@PS) that can target macrophages, exhibiting synergistic antibiotic and β-lactamase inhibitor activity, is reported. Chitosaccharides (COS) is covalently bound with benzenboronic acid pinacol ester and assemble with cefoxitin sodium salt (CFS) to form COSBN@CFS nanoparticles.
