Abstract
We describe a new approach to enhancing Lewis acidity, through the single electron oxidation of a borane with a pendant phenothiazine. This results in the formation of a persistent radical cation with increased electrophilicity. Computational and experimental studies indicate this radical cation significantly enhances the Lewis acidity and catalytic activity compared to its neutral analog. These results illustrate the viability of this approach in turning on the Lewis acidity of relatively inert boranes.

Anion-Responsive Colorimetric and Fluorometric Red-Shift in Triarylborane Derivatives: Dual Role of Phenazaborine as Lewis Acid and Electron Donor. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024:e202405158.

Abstract
Photophysical modulation of triarylboranes (TABs) through Lewis acid-base interactions is a fundamental approach for sensing anions. Yet, design principles for anion-responsive TABs displaying significant red-shift in absorption and photoluminescence (PL) have remained elusive. Herein, a new strategy for modulating the photophysical properties of TABs in a red-shift mode has been presented, by using a nitrogen-bridged triarylborane (1,4-phenazaborine: PAzB) with a contradictory dual role as a Lewis acid and an electron donor. Following the strategy, PAzB derivatives connected with an electron-deficient azaaromatic have been developed, and these compounds display a distinct red-shift in their absorption and PL in response to an anion. Spectroscopic analyses and quantum chemical calculations have revealed the formation of a tetracoordinate borate upon the addition of fluoride, narrowing the HOMO-LUMO gap and enhancing the charge-transfer character in the excited state. This approach has also been demonstrated in modulating the photophysical properties of solid-state films.

Abstract
A new naked-eye chromogenic and fluorogenic probe KS5 has been developed for the detection of CN- ions in neat DMSO and H2O:DMSO (1:1 v/v) media. The probe KS5 exhibited selectivity towards CN- and F- ions in organic and high selectivity towards CN- ions in aquo-organic media resulting in a colour change from brown to colourless and a turn-on fluorescence response. The probe could able to detect CN- ions via a deprotonation process, which was conceived by consecutive addition of hydroxide and hydrogen ions and confirmed using 1H NMR studies. The limit of detection (LOD) of KS5 towards CN- ions were in the range of 0.07-0.62 µM in both these solvent systems. Suppression of intra-molecular charge transfer (ICT) transition and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process of KS5 by the added CN- ions are responsible for the chromogenic and fluorogenic changes observed, respectively. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) calculations strongly supported the proposed mechanism along with the optical properties of the probe before and after the addition of CN- ions. To prove the practical applicability, KS5 was successfully utilized to detect CN- ions in cassava powder and bitter almonds as well as to determine CN- ions in various real water samples.

Abstract
Successful synthesis has been reported of 4-Mes2B-3,5-(CF3)2PzH and 4-Mes2B-3,5-(CF3)2PzH bearing sterically demanding diarylboron moieties at the pyrazole ring 4-position, and their corresponding copper(I) pyrazolate complexes. They show visible blue photoluminescence in solution. The X-ray crystal structures revealed that the fluorinated {[4-BMes2-3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Cu}3 crystallizes as discrete trinuclear molecules whereas as the non-fluorinated {[4-BMes2-3,5-(CH3)2Pz]Cu}3 forms dimers of trimers with two close inter-trimer Cu⋯Cu separations. The solid {[4-BMes2-3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Cu}3 featuring a sterically confined Cu3N6 core displays bright blue phosphorescence while {[4-BMes2-3,5-(CH3)2Pz]Cu}3, which is a dimer of a trimer, is a red phosphor at room temperature. This work illustrates the modulation of photo-physical properties of metal pyrazolates by adjusting the supporting ligand steric features and introducing secondary diarylboron luminophores. Computational analysis of the structures and photophysical properties of copper complexes are also presented.

Abstract
Motivated by the discovery of main group Lewis acids that could compete or possibly outperform the ubiquitous organoboranes, several groups, including ours, have engaged in the chemistry of Lewis acidic organoantimony compounds as new platforms for anion capture, sensing, and transport. Principal to this approach are the intrinsically elevated Lewis acidic properties of antimony, which greatly favor the addition of halide anions to this group 15 element. The introduction of organic substituents to the antimony center and its oxidation from the + III to the + V state provide for tunable Lewis acidity and a breadth of applications in supramolecular chemistry and catalysis. The performances of these antimony-based Lewis acids in the domain of anion sensing in aqueous media illustrate the favorable attributes of antimony as a central element. At the same time, recent advances in anion binding catalysis and anion transport across phospholipid membranes speak to the numerous opportunities that lie ahead in the chemistry of these unique main group compounds.

Abstract
The Lewis acidity of primary, secondary, and tertiary boranes with phenyl, pentafluorophenyl, and all three isomers of the C-substituted icosahedral carboranes (ortho, meta, and para) was investigated by computing their fluoride, hydride, and ammonia affinities as well as their global electrophilicity indices and LUMO energies. From these calculations, it was determined that the substituent effects on the Lewis acidity of these boranes follow the trend of ortho-carborane > meta-carborane > para-carborane > C6F5 > C6H5.

Abstract
The solution phase anion binding behavior of a water-stable bidentate pnictogen bond donor was studied. A modest change in the visible absorption spectrum allowed for the determination of the binding constants. High binding constants were observed with cyanide, cyanate, and acetate, and these were corroborated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The receptor could be recovered free from the anion following treatment with methyl triflate, confirming that it remains intact. The tight binding of cyanide and water stability were exploited to use this system as a supramolecular catalyst in a phase-transfer Strecker reaction, further demonstrating the utility of pnictogen bonding as a tool in noncovalent catalysis.

Abstract
A simple fluorescent probe (KS4) containing multiple reaction sites (phenolic -OH, imine and C = C bonds) is successfully synthesized and characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass and single crystal XRD techniques. KS4 exhibits high selectivity towards CN- over a wide range of common anions in H2O:DMSO (1:1 v/v) leading to an amazing turn-on fluorescence at 505 nm via deprotonation of the phenolic -OH group. The limit of detection (1.3 µM) for CN- was much below the standard (1.9 µM) set by the World Health Organization (WHO). Stoichiometry of the interaction between KS4 and CN- was ascertained as 1:1 by the Job's plot method and the binding constant was determined to be 1.5x104 M-1. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) based theoretical insight has been appealed to understand the optical properties of KS4 before and after the addition of CN- ion. The probe shows respectable real-time applicability for qualitative detection of CN- in almond and cassava powder as well as quantification in real water samples with excellent recoveries (98.8 - 99.8%). In addition, KS4 is found to safe towards living HeLa cells and successfully applied to the detection of endogenous cyanide ions in HeLa cells.

Abstract
The synthesis of tris(ortho-carboranyl)borane (BoCb3 ), a single site neutral Lewis superacid, in one pot from commercially available materials is achieved. The high fluoride ion affinity (FIA) confirms its classification as a Lewis superacid and the Gutmann-Beckett method as well as adducts with Lewis bases indicate stronger Lewis acidity over the widely used fluorinated aryl boranes. The electron withdrawing effect of ortho-carborane and lack of pi-delocalization of the LUMO rationalize the unusually high Lewis acidity. Catalytic studies indicate that BoCb3 is a superior catalyst for promoting C-F bond functionalization reactions than tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(C6 F5 )3 ].

Abstract
Bioimaging of subcellular organelles such as mitochondria is crucial for detecting physiological abnormalities induced by fluctuations in the levels of various analytes. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of two novel water-soluble cationic Lewis acid triarylborane-triarylamine conjugates 1 and 2. The optical characteristics of 1 and 2 and their precursor compounds BTPA-NMe2 and BTPA-2NMe2 were evaluated, which show similar absorption and fluorescence spectra, with 1 and 2 exhibiting higher quantum yields of 0.73 and 0.64, respectively, than those of the precursors BTPA-NMe2 and BTPA-2NMe2, indicating the partial disruption of the ICT process and the activation of alternative emission bands in 1 and 2. The live cell imaging ability of compound 2 was examined in HeLa cells using a confocal microscope. Moreover, mitochondrial internalisation using compound 2 was effective and it was found to have high photostability under UV light conditions. Furthermore, compound 2 demonstrated an evident colorimetric response with a colour change to dark yellow in aqueous environments, indicating that it could be used for anion sensing. The spectral changes were observed in UV-visible and fluorescence titration experiments, which were strongly supported by DFT calculations. In short, compound 2 synthesized by us can be exclusively utilized for the selective localization of mitochondria with less cytotoxicity and shows excellent colorimetric response to aqueous inorganic fluoride at levels as low as 0.1 ppm with high selectivity.

Abstract
The high fluorophilicity of borane-containing ligands offers promise for accessing new metallodrug candidates capable of bifunctional [18F]-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, but this requires water soluble and hydrolytically stable ligands that can be fluorinated under mild conditions. Toward this goal, here we report the synthesis and characterization of water-soluble Pt(II) complexes containing a triaminoborane-bridged diphosphoramidite ligand called MeOTBDPhos that can be fluorinated using simple fluoride salts. NMR and XRD studies show that (MeOTBDPhos)PtCl2 (1) dissolves in water with cooperative H-OH addition across the bridgehead N-B bond to form 1-H2O. The B-OH bond in 1-H2O undergoes rapid displacement with fluoride (<10 min) when treated with CsF in MeCN to form 1-HF. 1-HF can also be prepared in <10 min by addition of KF to 1 in the presence Kryptofix® 222 and (HNEt3)Cl in MeCN. In addition to using fluoride salts, we show how mononuclear 1 can be fluorinated with HBF4·Et2O to form dinuclear [(MeOTBDPhos-HF)Pt(μ-Cl)]2(BF4)2 (4-HF). Comparative studies show that the B-F bond in 1-HF undergoes hydrolysis as soon as it is dissolved in water or saline, but the B-F bond persists for hours when the pH of the solution is lowered to pH ≤ 2. In contrast to 1-HF, the B-F bond in dinuclear 4-HF persists for days when dissolved in water, which may be attributed to slow, sacrificial release of fluoride from the BF4- anion. The results show how cooperative N-B reactivity on the ligand can be leveraged to rapidly fluorinate water-soluble MeOTBDPhos complexes under mild conditions and afford suggestions for how to enhance hydrolytic B-F stability, as required for use in biomedical applications.

Abstract
With our continuing interest in the chemistry of cationic boranes, we have synthesizedthe tetrafluoroborate salt of 1-dimesitylboron-4-(N-methyl-9-acridinium)-phenylene which acts as a turn-on fluoride anion sensor, visibly changing from yellow to orange upon binding fluoride. To understand this reactivity, we spectroscopically and computationally analyzed the cation and triarylfluoroborate adduct. UV-vis spectroscopy and TD-DFT revealed the basis of the color change to be a red shift in a low-energy absorption band resulting from intramolecular charge-transfer. Electrochemical studies were undertaken to further probe this system. Cyclic voltammetry indicated a reversible one-electron reduction for the cation and a cathodic shift of -0.12 V in the first reduction wave upon fluoride binding. Chemical reduction of the cation yielded the acridine borane radical which was verified by EPR spectroscopy.

Abstract
A novel oxene based unusual sensory receptor (HyMa) has been synthesized via.Knoevenagel condensation triggered carbon-heteroatom (oxygen) intramolecular bond formation reaction at room temperature for discriminative detection of multi-analytes like HSO4-, CN- & F- by spectro-photometric alterations with profound selectivity with the detection limit of 38 ppb, 18 ppb & 94 ppb respectively. Examination of the sensing mechanism was exhaustively investigated through several spectroscopic means like 1H NMR, FT-IR, absorption and fluorescence spectra etc. In addition, quantum mechanical calculations like DFT and Loewdin spin population analyses also validated the rationality of the host-guest interaction. Apart from these, the reversible spectroscopic responses of HyMa towards F- and Al3+ can imitate several complex logic functions that in turn help in preparing molecular keypad lock. This molecular keypad lock has the potential to protect the confidential information at the molecular scale. Additionally, the MTT assay of HyMa showed low cytotoxicity and membrane permeability indicating its attractive capability for bio-imaging towards triple negative breast cancer. HyMa-coated test strips could also be employed towards on-site detection of these deadly contaminants via "Dip Stick" approach without help of any instrumentation. In addition, HyMa has also been exploited for quantitative determination of HSO4- from various real water samples. In a nutshell, detection of lethal contaminants like CN-, F- & HSO4- at ppb level with in vitro live cell imaging has been explored with proper photophysical characterisation and theoretical calculations with real field applications.

Abstract
Triarylborane (Ar3B) and triarylamine (Ar3N) have been widely employed to construct electronically different donor-acceptor (D-A) systems. Herein, we describe a series of A-D-A-type luminescent organoboranes L-B2Nn (n = 1, 3, 5) that show an increased number of Ar3N units as electron donors and two terminal Ar3B as acceptors. When the Ar3N moieties were extended from one to five units, their electron-donating strength was gradually enhanced and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gaps could also be tuned, which was further reflected in the red-shifted emissions from blue (λem = 458 nm) to orange (λem = 595 nm) with a decrease in Egap(elect) from 3.19 to 2.61 eV. L-B2N5 showed a huge Stokes shift (∼14 057 cm-1) and a considerably bright emission with an enhanced solid-state quantum efficiency (ΦS = 98%) compared with the other members. L-B2N3 and L-B2N5 exhibited aggregation-induced emissions (AIEs), and an apparent solvatochromic shift was also observed in the emission spectra as the solvent was changed from hexane to tetrahydrofuran (THF) (430 → 595 nm). In addition, the donor-acceptor charge-transfer character in these organoboranes caused a thermally responsive emission over a broad range.

Abstract
Since the cyanide ion is used in a wide range of industries and is harmful to both human health and the environment, a number of research efforts are dedicated to creating fluorescence sensors for the detection of cyanide (CN−). Herein, for the fluorescence detection of CN−, a new highly selective and sensitive sensor 2-(3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione (BID) was created by conjugating a benzothiazole moiety with 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione. The donor and acceptor components of this hybrid receptor were covalently connected through a double bond. The nucleophilic addition of a cyanide anion to the BID inhibits the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transition, resulting in spectral and colour alterations in the receptor. When the solvent polarity was increased from n-hexane to methanol, this molecule exhibited a bathochromic shift in the emission wavelength (610 to 632 nm), suggesting the presence of a solvatochromic action. The sensor BID has shown strong specificity towards CN− by interrupting its internal charge transfer (ICT), resulting in a significant change in the UV-vis spectrum and a notable blue shift in the fluorescence emission spectrum. The cyanide anion (CN−) is responsible for the optical alterations observed by BID, as opposed to the other anions examined. The detection limit was 5.97 nM, significantly less than the WHO's permitted amount of CN− in drinking water. The experimental findings indicate that BID's fluorescence response to CN− is pH insensitive throughout a wide pH range of 6.0 to 12.0. The interaction mechanism between the BID and CN− ions has been studied by HRMS, 1H-NMR titration experiments, FT-IR, and DFT, which confirmed the nucleophilic addition of CN− on vinylidene and subsequent disturbance of ICT. Additionally, we demonstrated the real-time detection application of CN− in environmental water samples and live-cell imaging. Since the cyanide ion is used in a wide range of industries and is harmful to both human health and the environment, a number of research efforts are dedicated to creating fluorescence sensors for the detection of cyanide (CN−).![]()

Abstract
Two diazaborepins (BNN1 and BNN2) have been accomplished via a highly efficient pathway in the step-economic transformation. Oxidative dimerization of carbazole derivatives followed by borylation reaction gave heterocyclic diazaborepin as the key building block. Replacement of carbon moiety in traditional borepins with N-N functionality led to a significant red shift of their emissions up to 585 nm with strong red color as solids. This work offered an approach to diazaborepin-based materials for applications in light-emitting field.

Abstract
Given the crucial association of hydrogen peroxide with a wide-range of human diseases, this compound has currently earned the reputation of being popular biomolecular target. Although various of analytical methods have attracted our attention, fluorescent probes have been used as prominent tools to determine H2O2 to reflect the physiological and pathological conditions of biological systems, As the sensitive responsive portion of these probes, Boronate ester and boronic acid groups are vital reporter as the sensitive responsive part for H2O2 recognition. In this review, we summarized boronate ester/boronic acid group-based fluorescent probes for H2O2 reported from 2012 to 2020 and generally classify the fluorophores into six categories to exhaustively elaborate the design strategy and comprehensive systematic performance. We hope that this review will inspire the exploration of new fluorescent probes based on boronate ester/boronic acid groups for detection of H2O2 and other relevant analytes.

Abstract
A novel and convenient methodology for the one-pot synthesis of sterically congested triarylboranes by using bench-stable aryltrifluoroborates as the boron source is reported. This procedure gives systematic access to symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted triarylboranes of the types BAr2 Ar' and BArAr'Ar'', respectively. Three unsymmetrically substituted triarylboranes as well as their iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation products are reported. These borylated triarylboranes contain one to three positions that can subsequently be orthogonally functionalized in follow-up reactions, such as Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings or Sonogashira couplings.

Abstract
Aluminum toxicity in biological systems is a well-known issue yet remains as a prevalent and unsolvable problem due to the lack of proper molecular tools that can detect free aluminum(iii) or Al(iii) ions in vivo. Herein, we report a water-soluble photo-induced electron transfer (PET)-based turn-ON/OFF fluorometric chemosensor for the dual detection of Al(iii) and fluoride ions in aqueous media with a nanomolar (∼1.7 × 10-9 M) and picomolar (∼2 × 10-12 M, lowest ever detection so far) detection limit, respectively. Fluoride ions in sea water could be detected as well as the recognition of non-contamination in drinking water. In addition, using live-cell microscopy, Al(iii) ions were detected in live biological samples in vivo to aid establishing the aluminum-toxicity effect.

Abstract
Ni(II) porphyrins having fused -NH group were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The fused porphyrins 1 and 2 were used to detect species of opposite polarity. 1 was used to sense toxic anions viz. cyanide and fluoride ions whereas 2 was used for detecting some selective metal ions including toxic mercury(II) ions. 1 is having acidic -NH proton, which detects anions via hydrogen bonding interactions followed by anion-induced deprotonation. On the other hand, 2 senses the metal species via weak charge transfer interactions from oxygen atom of the formyl group to the added metal ions. The limit of detection was calculated in case of 1 as 2.13 and 3.15 ppm for cyanide and fluoride ions, respectively. Similarly, the detection limit was found to be 0.930, 2.231, and 0.718 ppm for Cu(II), Fe(III), and Hg(II) ions, respectively, for probe 2. The probes were recovered and reused for several cycles.

Abstract
In this short review, we describe different pathways for synthesizing 1,2,3-triazolium macrocycles and focus on their application in different areas of supramolecular chemistry. The synthesis is mostly relying on the well-known "click reaction" (CuAAC) leading to 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles that then can be quaternized. Applications of triazolium macrocycles thus prepared include receptors for molecular recognition of anionic species, pH sensors, mechanically interlocked molecules, molecular machines, and molecular reactors.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a tri-(2-picolyl) amine (TPA) functionalized triarylborane, 1-(6-(4-(dimesitylboryl)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)-N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine (PB2). The photophysical properties of PB2 were thoroughly explored. Moreover, PB2 can capture CN- and F- in aqueous solution through strong chelation induced by the synergy of a boron atom and metal ion gripped by TPA to display entirely different fluorogenic responses such as fluorescence enhancement for CN- and fluorescence quenching for F-. The results of TOF-MS-EI analysis and theoretical calculations indicate that the complexing of PB2 with CN- formed a 2-to-2 adduct with a stabilized configuration, resulting in strong emission. The complexing of PB2 with F- formed a 1-to-1 adduct with a loose configuration, resulting in weak emission. In pure water, the detection limit of PB2 for CN- is 0.79 μM, and in H2O/THF (1:9 v/v) system, the detection limits of PB2 for CN- and F- can reach 0.39 and 2.12 μM, respectively, indicating its potential application for effective detection and discrimination of CN- and F-.

Abstract
The coordination chemistry of the first row transition metal trifluorides with terpy (2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) and Me3-tacn (1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) was explored to identify potential systems for 18F radiolabelling. The complexes [MF3(L)] (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co; L = Me3-tacn, terpy) were synthesised and fully characterised by UV-vis and IR spectroscopy, microanalysis, and, for the diamagnetic [CoF3(L)], using 1H, 19F{1H} and 59Co NMR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray analyses are reported for [MF3(Me3-tacn)] (M = Mn, Co), [FeF3(terpy)] and [FeF3(BnMe2-tacn)]. Stability tests on [MF3(Me3-tacn)] (M = Cr, Mn, Fe) and [M'F3(terpy)] (M' = Cr, Fe) were performed and Cl/19F halide exchange reactions on [CrCl3(Me3-tacn)] using [Me4N]F in anhydrous MeCN solution, and [FeCl3(Me3-tacn)] using [Me4N]F in anhydrous MeCN or KF in aqueous MeCN solution were also carried out. Halide exchange reactions proved to be successful in forming [FeF3(Me3-tacn)] in aqueous MeCN solution within 30 minutes. Based upon the clean Cl/F exchange and the good stability observed for [FeF3(Me3-tacn)] in a range of competitive media, this was identified as a possible candidate for radiolabelling. 18F/19F isotopic exchange was achieved by addition of [18F]F- in the cyclotron target water to a MeCN solution of the benzyl-substituted analogue, [FeF3(BnMe2-tacn)], at a range of concentrations down to 24 nM with heating to 80 °C for 10 min.; the resulting [Fe18F19F2(BnMe2-tacn)] shows radiochemical purity (RCP) ≥90% after 2 h in a range of formulations, including 10% EtOH/phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and 10% EtOH/human serum albumin (HSA). This is the first reported complex with a transition metal directly bonded to [18F]F-.

Abstract
We demonstrated a simple and rapid deacetylation reaction of p-nitrophenyl thioacetate by cyanide ion. This reaction is caused by the strong nucleophilic tendency of the cyanide ion to the electrophilic substrate and has been previously reported as the most common method for detecting cyanide ions. Tetrabutylammonium cyanide and sodium cyanide can be used as sources of cyanide ions for catalytic deacetylation reactions. Both catalysts showed almost the same catalytic reaction and the catalytic reaction was instantaneous at room temperature with a minimum concentration of cyanide ions of up to 1.0 μM. Cyanide did not catalyze the deacetylation reaction of p-nitropnenyl acetate due to a decrease in the nucleofugality of the leaving group and a decrease in the electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon in the substrate. However, the only disadvantage of this reaction system is the interference with other anions, such as acetate and azide, which also have nucleophilicity toward an electrophilic substrate. If these problems are improved, the system could be applied as a very efficient cyanide ion sensor.

Abstract
Pyrazinoindole-based Lewis-acid/base assemblies are prepared through the use of regioselective formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition reactions, and their intriguing photophysical properties are described. The assemblies exhibit strong emissions in THF solution, which are attributed to through-space intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) transitions between the branched Lewis-acid/base moieties. Furthermore, these show ratiometric color-change responses in PL titration experiments, which give rise to new colors through turn-on emissions ascribable to ICT transitions that alternate between the pyrazinoindole units and each triarylboryl or amino moiety, a consequence of the binding of the fluoride or acid. Pieces of filter paper covered by these assemblies exhibited blue-shifted color changes when immersed in aqueous acidic solutions, suggesting that these are promising candidate indicators that detect acid through emissive color. Computational data for these assemblies and their corresponding adducts verify the existence of ICT transitions that alternate through fluoride or acid binding.

Abstract
A new near-infrared ratiometric type fluorescent probe was prepared. 3-formyl BODIPY derivatives without substituent group in the 2, 6-position was obtained through DDQ oxidation reaction. Furthermore, it reacted with indole salt to produce probe. This probe bears indolium group as the recognition site and the 3-formyl-BODIPY as fluorophore. The specific detection of cyanide was conducted the nucleophilic attack of cyanide toward the indolium group of the probe, breaking the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect and generating a ratio change in the fluorescence signal. The probe has high selectivity and sensitivity for cyanide. Moreover, cell experiments indicated this probe was benign to HepG-2 cells, and has the potential application in imaging CN- in living HepG-2 cells.

Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcOX) containing binuclear heme a3-Cu B centre (BNC) mechanises the process of electron transfer in the last phase of cellular respiration. The molecular modelling based structural analysis of CcOX - heme a3-Cu B complex was performed and the disturbance to this complex under cyanide poisoning conditions was investigated. Taking into consideration the results of molecular docking studies, new chemical entities were developed for clipping cyanide from the enzyme and restoring its normal function. It was found that the molecules obtained by combining syringaldehyde, oxindole and chrysin moieties bearing propyl/butyl spacing groups occupy the BNC region and effectively remove cyanide bound to the enzyme. The binding constant of compound 2 with CN- was 2.3 × 105 M-1 and its ED50 for restoring the cyanide bound CcOX activity in 10 min was 16 µM. The compound interacted with CN- over the pH range 5-10. The comparison of the loss of enzymatic activity in the presence of CN- and resumption of enzymatic activity by compound 2 mediated removal of CN- indicated the efficacy of the compound as antidote of cyanide.

Abstract
We report a novel example of supramolecular cages containing a Lewis acidic trigonal boron center. Self-assembly of the tris(pyridyl)borane donor 1 with diruthenium (2) or platinum (3), as an electron acceptor, furnished boron-containing trigonal prismatic supramolecular cages 5 and 6, which were characterized by 1H NMR and electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The molecular structure of cage 5 was confirmed as a trigonal prismatic cage with an inner dimension of about 400 Å3. The fluoride binding properties of borane ligand 1 and Pt cage 6 were studied. UV/vis absorption titration studies demonstrated that the boron center of cage 6 undergoes strong binding interaction with the fluoride ion, with an estimated binding constant of 1.3 × 1010 M-2 in acetone based on the 1:2 binding isotherm. The binding was also confirmed by 1H NMR titration. Photoluminescence titration studies showed that cage 6 emitted borane-centered fluorescence (τ = 2.21 ns), which was gradually quenched upon addition of fluoride. When excess fluoride was added to a solution of 6, however, dissociation of the pyridyl ligand from the Pt(II) center was observed.

Abstract
A luminescent europium probe that responds to cyanide directly in water with a large nine-fold turn-on of the EuIII centered time-gated luminescence is presented. Unlike other CN- probes reported, the mechanism of action of EuIII-Lys-HOPO does not rely on reaction of CN- with the probe, but on direct coordination of CN- to the EuIII ion concomitant with displacement of three inner-sphere water molecules. This unusual coordination of CN- with a lanthanide ion in aqueous solution was confirmed by luminescence lifetime measurements.

Abstract
As part of our interest in the chemistry of polydentate Lewis acids as hosts for diatomic molecules, we have investigated the synthesis and coordination chemistry of bidentate boranes that feature a large boron-boron separation. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of a new example of such a diborane, namely 1,8-bis(dimesitylboryl)triptycene (2) and compare its properties to those of the recently reported 1,8-bis(dimesitylboryl)biphenylene (1). These comparative studies reveal that these two diboranes feature some important differences. As indicated by cyclic voltammetry, 1 is more electron deficient than 2; it also adopts a more compact and rigid structure with a boron-boron separation (4.566(5) Å) shorter by ∼1 Å than that in 2 (5.559(4) Å). These differences appear to dictate the coordination behaviour of these two compounds. While 2 remains inert toward hydrazine, we observed that 1 forms a very stable μ(1,2) hydrazine complex which can also be obtained by phase transfer upon layering a solution of 1 with a dilute aqueous hydrazine solution. The stability of this complex is further reflected by its lack of reaction with benzaldehyde at room temperature. We have also investigated the behaviour of 1 and 2 toward anions. In MeOH/CHCl3 (1/1 vol) both compounds selectively bind cyanide to form the corresponding μ(1,2) chelate complexes with a B-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]N-B bridge at their cores. Competition experiments in protic media show that the anionic cyanide complex formed by 1 is the most stable, with no evidence of decomplexation even in the presence of (C6F5)3B.

Abstract
A two-step synthesis to prepare tricoordinate organoboron compounds bearing three different aryl groups has been developed. After the first aryl substitution to an aryl boronic ester took place, the intermediate species, that is, bis(diarylborinate) species, was isolated as an air- and moisture-stable solid, which allowed the second aryl substitution to carry out in a selective manner. Subsequently, a series of unsymmetrical triarylboranes possessing a sterically bulky aryl group, triarylamine moiety, and para-functionalized phenyl ring was synthesized. Not only did these triarylboranes exhibit remarkable solvent-dependent fluorescence as expected for donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) systems, they were also accompanied by profound persistence against photoirradiation especially for that bearing a 1,3,5-tri- tert-butylphenyl ring. This survey exemplifies that sufficient electronic and steric modification is key to construct photostable D-π-A type triarylborane-based fluorophores.

Abstract
A new cyanide probe has been prepared by one-step synthesis and evaluated by UV-vis and fluorescent method. This probe is combined by a fluorene part and a hemicyanine group through a conjugated linker, which is found to show rapid response, high selectivity and sensitivity for cyanide anions with significant dual colorimetric and fluorescent signal changes in aqueous solution. An intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect plays a key role in the CN- sensing properties, and the details of this mechanism are further supported by DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The theoretical study shows that the introduction of CN- twists the original plane structure and blocks the ICT process in the whole molecule, which brings about the absorption blue-shift and the fluorescence quenching.

Abstract
High resolution microwave spectra for the somewhat unstable compound 1-chloroborepin were measured in the 5-10 GHz range using a pulsed beam Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. Transitions were assigned and measured for three isotopologues, which include the most abundant isotopologue, 11B35Cl, and the less abundant 10B35Cl and 11B37Cl isotopologues. The molecular parameters (MHz) determined for the 11B35Cl isotopologue are A = 3490.905(35), B = 1159.38520(79), C = 870.59492(56), 1.5χaa (11B) = -0.220(22), 0.25(χbb - χcc) (11B) = -1.5300(99), 1.5χaa (35Cl) = -54.572(33), and 0.25(χbb - χcc) (35Cl) = 4.7740(79). The inertial defect is calculated to be Δ = -0.174 amu Å2 from the experimental rotational constants, indicating a planar structure with some out of plane vibrational motion. An extended Townes-Dailey analysis was performed on the 11B and 35Cl nuclei to determine the electron occupations in the valence hybridized orbitals using the experimental quadrupole coupling strengths. From the analysis it was determined that Cl is sharing some electron density with the empty p-orbital on B. The B-Cl bond length determined from the data is 1.798(1) Å, and the B-C bond lengths are 1.533(10) Å. The structural parameters and electronic structure properties of 1-chloroborepin are consistent with an aromatic boron-containing molecule.

Abstract
A blue fluorescent p-dimesitylboryl-phenyl-functionalized 1,3-bisbenzimidazolyl benzene molecule (1) has been synthesized in high yield by Stille coupling of bisbenzimidazolyl bromobenzene with p-BMes2-SnBu3-benzene. Methylation of 1 led to the formation of the bisbenzimidazolium salt (2). The utility of both 1 and 2 in sensing CN- and halide (F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-) was examined, and it was found that only the small fluoride and cyanide anions were able to bind to the boron atom with binding constants in the range of 2.9 × 104 to 5 × 105 M-1. Computational studies provided insight into the photophysical properties of the molecules and verified that a charge-transfer process is quenched in these "turn-off" molecular sensors.
