Abstract
Eukaryotic cells regulate various cellular processes through membrane-bound and membrane-less organelles, enabling active signal communication and material exchange. Lysosomes and lipid droplets are representative organelles, contributing to cell lipophagy when their interaction and metabolism are disrupted. Our limited understanding of the interacting behaviours and physicochemical properties of different organelles during lipophagy hinders accurate diagnosis and treatment of related diseases. In this contribution, we report a fluorescent probe, PTZ, engineered for dual-targeting of lipid droplets and lysosomes. PTZ can track liquid-liquid phase separation and respond to polarity shifts through ratiometric fluorescence emission, elucidating the lipophagy process from the perspective of organelle behavior and physicochemical properties. Leveraging on the multifunctionality of PTZ, we have successfully tracked the polarity and dynamic changes of lysosomes and lipid droplets during lipophagy. Furthermore, an unknown homogeneous transition of lipid droplets and lysosomes was discovered, which provided a new perspective for understanding lipophagy processes. And this work is expected to serve as a reference for diagnosis and treatment of lipophagy-related diseases.

Abstract
N-Substitution of a thermally unstable diboratriazole 1 with a trimethylsilyl group affords a remarkably stable diboratriazole derivative 2. Ring contraction of 2 with an N-heterocyclic carbene accompanied by the release of N2 as well as 1,4-hydrogen shift affords a carbene-stabilized azadiboriridine 3. Abstraction of the H-B3mem hydride in 3 with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate leads to the isolation of a hitherto unknown azadiboriridinylium 4, the first BN analogue of cyclopropenylium cation. X-ray diffraction analysis and computational studies confirmed the delocalization of π electrons over the B2 N three-membered ring, indicating the 2π aromatic feature. Compound 4 undergoes ring expansion reactions with azobenzene and pyridazine to furnish triazadiborolidinylium species 5 and 6, the latter of which possesses a cationic B2 N3 ring with a pronounced 6π aromatic property. Moreover, the reaction of 4 with a diazo compound produces a cationic B2 N3 C pentafulvene derivative 7.

Abstract
Borenium ions, originally synthesized as fundamentally important laboratory curiosities, have attracted significant attention due to their applications in catalysis and frustrated Lewis pair chemistry. However, investigations of the materials properties of these types of compounds are exceptionally rare. Herein, we report the synthesis, molecular structures, and optical properties of a new class of air-stable borenium ions, stabilized by the strongly donating carbodicarbene (CDC) ligand (2, 3, 6). Notably, CDC-borafluorenium ions exhibit thermoluminescence in solution, a result of a twisted intramolecular charge transfer process. The temperature responsiveness, which is observable by the naked eye, is assessed over a 20 to -60 °C range. Significantly, compound 2 emits white light at lower temperatures. In the solid state, these borocations exhibit increased quantum yields due to aggregation-induced emission. CDC-borafluorenium ions with two different counteranions (Br-, BPh4-) were investigated to evaluate the effect of anion size on the solution and solid-state optical properties. In addition, CDCs containing both symmetrical and unsymmetrical N-heterocycles (bis(1-isopropyl-3-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene)methane and bis(1,3-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylidene)methane) were tested to understand the implications of free rotation about the CDC ligand carbon-carbon bonds. The experimental work is complemented by a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the excited-state dynamics.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as a type of uniformly and periodically atom-distributed precursor and efficient self-sacrificial template to fabricate hierarchical porous-carbon-related nanostructured functional materials. In this work, we used Cu(II) ions and aromatic dicarboxylic acid to construct [Cu3(4,4'-oba)2(μ2-OH)2(H2O)2]n (4,4'-H2oba = 4,4'-oxybisbenzoic acid) as a precursor for the preparation of carbon nanostructures. Doping foreign elements into intrinsic MOF-based nanomaterials is an effective way to enhance the adsorption property and photocatalytic activity; thus, we designed a facile method to synthesize a vanadium-doped mixture of Cu2O and Cu nanoparticles encapsulated in a Cu-MOF-derived carbon nanostructure (C-V-1) in this work for the first time. Benefiting from the protection of the carbon shell and regulation of the electronic structure by doping vanadium and phase-mixing Cu2O and Cu, the adsorption capacities of C-V-1 for MB, RhB, MO, CR and GV at room temperature are 174.13, 147.06, 179.92, 275.90 and 611.81 mg g-1 in 240 min, respectively, while the photocatalytic degradation rates are 88.14% for MB, 79.80% for RhB, 71.31% for MO, and 71.19% for CR after 4 h. In addition, the degradation rate is larger than 99.01% for GV after only 30 min of UV irradiation. This strategy of using a diverse MOF as a structural and compositional material to create a multifunctional composite/hybrid may expand the opportunities to explore highly efficient, fast and robust adsorbents and photocatalysts for water treatment.

Abstract
Lewis acids are highly sought after for their applications in sensing, small-molecule activation, and catalysis. When combined with π-conjugated molecular frameworks, Lewis acids with unique optoelectronic properties can be realized. Here, we use a tridentate formazanate ligand to create a planar, redox-active, fluorescent, and strongly Lewis-acidic borenium cation. We also demonstrate that this compound can act as a colourimetric probe for reactivity.

Abstract
Polycationic macrocycles are attractive as they display unique molecular switching capabilities arising from their redox properties. Although diverse polycationic macrocycles have been developed, those based on cationic boron systems remain very limited. We present herein the development of novel polycationic macrocycles by introducing organoboronium moieties into a conjugated organoboron macrocyclic framework. These macrocycles consist of four bipyridylboronium units that are connected by fluorene and either electron-deficient arylborane or electron-rich arylamine moieties. Electrochemical studies reveal that the macrocycles undergo reversible multi-step redox processes with transfer of up to 10 electrons. Switchable electrochromic behavior is demonstrated via spectroelectrochemical studies and the observed color changes are rationalized by correlation with computed electronic transitions using DFT methods.

Abstract
To research the effect of structural diversity on citrate-based coordination polymers (CPs), citric acid (H4cit) was selected to combine with Cu(ii) under hydrothermal conditions. A new CP [Cu2(cit)(H2O)2] (1) was synthesized and structurally characterized. The title complex shows a 3D 2,4,6-connected topology with the point symbol of {43·63}{44·66·85}{4}. Inspired by the decomposition and functional molybdenum component, 1 was used as a catalyst precursor to synthesize a carbon-based material (C-1) and a C@Mo material (C-Mo-1) by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and characterized in detail. The selective removal of a contaminant (Congo red) by complex 1, C-1 and C-Mo-1 in the aqueous phase was also comparatively investigated.

Abstract
Mono- and dinitro-BN-naphthalenes, i.e., 1-nitro-, 3-nitro-, 1,6-dinitro-, 3,6-dinitro-, and 1,8-dinitro-BNN, were generated in the nitration of 9,10-BN-naphthalene (BNN), a boron–nitrogen (BN) bond-embedded naphthalene, with AcONO2 and NO2BF4 in acetonitrile. The nitrated products were isolated and characterized by NMR, GC-MS, IR, and X-ray single crystallography. The effects of the nitration on the electron density and aromaticity of BNN were evaluated by B-11 NMR analysis and HOMA calculations.
