Experiments in low-temperature matrices reveal that triplet diphenylcarbene inserts into the very strong B-F bond of BF in a two-step reaction. The first step is the formation of a strongly bound Lewis acid-base complex between the singlet state of diphenylcarbene and BF . This step involves an inversion of the spin state of the carbene from triplet to singlet. The second step requires visible-light photochemical activation to induce a 1,2-F migration from boron to the adjacent carbon atom under formation of the formal insertion product of the carbene center into BF . The 1,2-F migration is reversible under short-wavelength UV irradiation, thus leading back to the Lewis acid-base adduct.

Article Synopsis
- Trifluoroborate boronophenylalanine (BBPA) is a modified version of boronophenylalanine (BPA) used for advanced tumor imaging and therapy.
- Clinical studies reveal that 18F-labeled BBPA ([18F]BBPA) provides clear images for PET scans and serves as a theranostic agent for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).
- The research demonstrates that BBPA can increase boron concentration in tumors while maintaining consistent PET imaging across various doses, making it a promising tool for improving the accuracy of BNCT.

For most molecules the spin-coupled generalized valence bond (SCGVB) wavefunction accounts for the effects of non-dynamical electron correlation. The remaining errors in the prediction of molecular properties and the outcomes of molecular processes are then solely due to dynamical electron correlation. In this article we extend our previous studies of the effects of dynamical electron correlation on the potential energy curves and spectroscopic constants of the AH and AF (A = B-F) molecules to the homonuclear diatomic molecules, A (A = C-F).

Lithium difluoro(oxalate) borate (LiDFOB) contributes actively to cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) formation, particularly safeguarding high-voltage cathode materials. However, LiNiCoMnO-based batteries benefit from the LiDFOB and its derived CEI only with appropriate electrolyte design while a comprehensive understanding of the underlying interfacial mechanisms remains limited, which makes the rational design challenging. By performing ab initio calculations, the CEI evolution on the LiNiCoMnO has been investigated.

In a series of recent papers, we investigated the effect of dynamical electron correlation on the potential energy curves and spectroscopic constants of several diatomic molecules, including the simple diatomic hydrides (AH) and the more complex diatomic fluorides (AF) and homonuclear diatomic molecules (A) with A = B-F (AF) or A = C-F (A), respectively. Our goal was to understand the dependence of the dynamical electron correlation energy, , on the internuclear distance, , and quantify how dynamical electron correlation influences the spectroscopic constants (, , and ω) of these molecules. At large , we found that the magnitude of () had a simple dependence on with () increasing nearly exponentially with decreasing .

The addition of EtO·BF or MeS·BCl to the BNBN-cumulene-bridged Pt(II) A-frame complexes [(μ-1,1-BNBN(TMS))(μ-dmpm)PtX] (TMS = SiMe, dmpm = CH(PMe), X = Br , I ) resulted in the oxidative addition of one B-F or B-Cl bond, respectively, to the internal BN bond of the bridging, iminoborane-like B-N≡B-N moiety, and coordination of one Pt(II) center to the resulting adjacent BF (complex ) or BCl (complexes and ) moiety, respectively. X-ray crystallographic and multinuclear NMR-spectroscopic data show that the Pt→BF interaction in is very weak and merely electrostatic, while the Pt→BCl interaction in and is a stronger donor-acceptor bond. In contrast, the reaction of MeS·BBr with yielded a ca.
