Semipolar Organo Boron Surfactants. I.

Elementary reactions of boron atoms with hydrocarbons-toward the formation of organo-boron compounds.

The chemical reactivity of atomic boron, B(Pj), with inorganic and organic molecules is a fascinating subject of research from the experimental1-35 and theoretical viewpoints.29,30,36-46 Atomic boron resides in the same row as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.47 Although the reaction dynamics and kinetics of the latter elements (C, N, O) have been studied in depth,48-53 an investigation of elementa...

Photophysical Study of Polymer-Based Solar Cells with an Organo-Boron Molecule in the Active Layer

Our group previously reported the synthesis of four polythiophene derivatives (P1-P4) used for solar cells. The cells were prepared under room conditions by spin coating, leading to low efficiencies. However, after the addition of 6-nitro-3-(E)-3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)allylidene)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]-[1,3,2] oxazaborole (M1) to their active layers, the efficiencies of the cells showed approxima...

Selective formation of organo, organo-aqueous, and hydro gel-like materials from partially hydrolysed poly(vinyl acetate)s based on different boron-containing crosslinkers.

Viscoelastic, gel-like, polymeric dispersions (HVPDs) can be prepared by crosslinking polyols with borax or boric acid in water under alkaline conditions. Rheologically similar HVPDs have been prepared in organic liquids containing no water or hydroxylic groups through crosslinking partially or fully hydrolysed poly(vinyl acetate)s with trimethyl borate, boric acid, or borax. The organo-HVPDs a...

Organo-fluorine chemistry III

It is a pleasure to introduce the 3rd in the series of Thematic Issues on organo-fluorine chemistry for the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry (BJOC). These series have become progressively more successful over time in terms of the number and quality of the contributions received. It is also pleasing to note that the profile and impact factor of the journal has increased steadily over this ...
