We report on organoboron complexes characterized by very small energy gaps (ΔE) between their singlet and triplet states, which allow for highly efficient harvesting of triplet excitons into singlet states for working as thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) devices. Energy gaps ranging between 0.01 and 0.06 eV with dihedral angles of ca. 90° were registered. The spin-orbit couplings between the lowest excited S and T states yielded reversed intersystem crossing rate constants (K) of an average of 10 s. This setup accomplished radiative decay rates of ca. 10 s, indicating highly potent electroluminescent devices, and hence, being suitable for application as organic light-emitting diodes.

Hydroxybenzylamines are prevalent in drugs and bioactive molecules, including various antimalarial and anticancer drugs. α-tertiary alkylation of amines impacts drug-target interactions significantly through their influence on basicity and lipophilicity. Traditional N-alkylation methods, especially for α-tertiary amines, suffer from limitations due to high energy barriers from steric hindrance.

Article Synopsis
- Organic solar cells (OSCs) are lightweight and can be made semitransparent, making them appealing for various applications since the introduction of the bulk heterojunction concept in 1995.
- Fullerene derivatives were once the go-to electron acceptors for OSCs but have reached a power conversion efficiency (PCE) plateau of around 12% due to limitations like poor light absorption and energy level tunability.
- Nonfullerene electron acceptors (NFAs), particularly fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs), have emerged as superior alternatives since 2015, achieving PCEs up to 20% but face challenges in complex and costly synthesis; nonfused ring electron acceptors (NFREAs

This study aims to develop a method for the chiral analysis of organoboron compounds using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It addresses the longstanding challenge associated with these chiral organoboron compounds, which often require derivatization and pretreatment prior to chromatographic analysis. Our method utilizes tridentate ligands to facilitate effective ligand exchange and incorporates fluorine labels, allowing for the precise discrimination of F NMR signals.

Two donor-acceptor dyes with an -phenylene-linked carbazole electron donor and a benzothiazole-fused boron heterocyclic acceptor were designed, synthesized, and spectroscopically investigated. Due to the steric effects of boron heterocyclic units, the dyes demonstrate different conformations in the crystalline state. The presence of numerous hydrogen-bonding intermolecular interactions and the very weak π-π stacking in the molecular packing results in intense solid-state emission with photoluminescence quantum yields of 40 and 18% for crystals and 50 and 42% for host-based light-emitting layers.

Article Synopsis
- Chiral tertiary alcohols are crucial in chemistry, but efficient methods for their synthesis have been lacking, prompting the development of a new approach using Ni(II) as a catalyst.
- This method involves the asymmetric alkenylation and arylation of aryl ketones with organoborons, resulting in good yields of chiral tertiary allylic alcohols and diaryl alcohols, and demonstrates functional group tolerance.
- The reaction uses an outer-sphere mechanism where the Ni(II) complex activates the ketone and promotes a 1,5-metalate shift without forming a carbon-metal bond, differentiating it from traditional synthesis methods.
