Abstract
The development of solid-state polymer electrolytes is an effective way to overcome the notorious shuttle effect of polysulfides in traditional liquid lithium sulfur batteries. In this paper, cationic cyclopropenium based cross-linked polymer was firstly prepared with the one pot method, and then the counter ion was replaced by TFSI− anion using simple ion replacement. Cationic cyclopropenium hyper-crosslinked polymer (HP) was introduced into a polyethylene oxide (PEO) matrix with the solution casting method to prepare a composite polymer electrolyte membrane. By adding HP@TFSI to the PEO-based electrolyte, the mechanical and electrochemical properties of the solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries were significantly improved. The PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolyte shows the highest Li+ ionic conductivity at 60 °C (4.0 × 10−4 S·cm−1) and the highest mechanical strength. In the PEO matrix, uniform distribution of HP@TFSI inhibits crystallization and weakens the interaction between each PEO chain. Compared with pure PEO/LiTFSI electrolyte, the PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolyte shows lower interface resistance and higher interface stability with lithium anode. The lithium sulfur battery based on the PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolyte shows excellent electrochemical performance, high Coulombic efficiency and high cycle stability. After 500 cycles, the capacity of the lithium-sulfur battery based on PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolytes keeps approximately 410 mAh·g−1 at 1 C, the Coulomb efficiency is close to 100%, and the cycle capacity decay rate is 0.082%.

Abstract
Cyclopropenium cationic-based covalent organic polymer (iCP@TFSI) was successfully prepared through the SN2 reaction and ion replacement process, which can be incorporated into the PEO/LiTFSI matrix as a filler. The obtained solid-state polymer electrolytes were utilized for an all-solid-state lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery. Padding iCP@TFSI into the PEO matrix not only has a positive influence on both the ionic conductivity and the mechanical capacity of solid-state polymer electrolytes but also increases the stability of the lithium metal anode, which essentially improves the overall cycling ability of all-solid-state Li-S batteries. Among the membranes attained, the PEO-10%iCP@TFSI electrolyte displays the best ionic conductivity up to 1.2 × 10-3 S·cm-1 at 80 °C. The symmetrical lithium battery exhibits higher cycle stability (600 h) due to the higher mechanical properties related to more stable lithium metal interfaces. The Li-S battery based on the PEO-10%iCP@TFSI electrolyte exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with better Coulombic efficiency and outstanding cycling stability. Its capacity is maintained at 490 mAh·g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 C with a 0.032% decay rate each cycle, and the Coulombic efficiency is close to 100% during the whole cycling.

Abstract
The catalytic application of the bis(amino)cyclopropenium ion has been investigated in conjugate addition reactions. The hydrogen atom, which is attached to the cyclopropene ring of bis(amino)cyclopropenium salts, is moderately acidic and can potentially serve as a hydrogen-bond donor catalyst in some organic transformations. This hypothesis has been successfully realized in the 1,6-conjugate addition reactions of p-quinone methides with various nucleophiles such as indole, 2-naphthol, thiols, phenols, and so forth. The spectroscopic studies (NMR and UV-vis) as well as the deuterium isotope labeling studies clearly revealed that the hydrogen atom (C-H) that is present in the cyclopropene ring of the catalyst is indeed solely responsible for catalyzing these transformations. In addition, these studies also strongly indicate that the C-H hydrogen of the cyclopropene ring activates the carbonyl group of the p-quinone methide through hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
While there have been many studies on the physicochemical characterisation of ILs, little work has previously been reported on the properties unique to the trifluoroborate anion. Here we have characterised the thermal properties, viscosity, liquid nanostructure and intramolecular interactions of 15 novel aryltrifluoroborate ILs. These ILs all contained a tetrabutylammonium cation paired with either meta- or para-substituted aryltrifluoroborate anions, or di-anionic substituted aryltrifluroborate anions. It was found that of the 15 samples analysed, 4 would technically be considered molten salts as they have melting points greater than 100 °C. Overall the structure-property relationship trends of these samples are similar to those previously reported for alkyl and perfluoroalkyltrifluoroborate ILs which contained K+ or Cs+ cations, with the big difference being the ILs in this study having considerably lower melting points.

Abstract
Aminocyclopropenium ions have raised much attention as organocatalysts and redox active polymers. However, the self-assembly of amphiphilic aminocyclopropenium ions remains challenging. The first deltic ionic liquid crystals based on aminocyclopropenium ions have been developed. Differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction provided insight into the unique self-assembly and nanosegregation of these liquid crystals. While the combination of small headgroups with linear p-alkoxyphenyl units led to bilayer-type smectic mesophases, wedge-shaped units resulted in columnar mesophases. Upon increasing the size and polyphilicity of the aminocyclopropenium headgroup, a lamellar phase was formed.

Abstract
Certain borenium cations supported by carbenes can function as hydrogenation catalysts for imines. While many carbenes have been explored, variation of the other groups on boron has been less common. We have investigated several carbene-borane adducts in an attempt to understand the ability of a bis-amino cyclopropenylidene (BAC) carbene dicyclohexylborane adduct to hydrogenate relatively sterically unhindered benzyl imines. As an additional variant, a BAC carbene adduct of diphenylborane was prepared. A convenient preparation of diphenylboron fluoride via a potassium fluoroborinate salt was employed in this chemistry. Reaction of diphenylboron fluoride with a BAC carbene afforded a modest yield of a carbene-fluoroborane adduct. Reaction between the fluoroborinate salt and a lithium tetrafluoroborate adduct of the carbene provided the adduct in much improved yield and cleanliness, and the product was structurally characterized. The fluoroborate could be converted to a boron hydride through fluoride-hydride exchange with dimethylchlorosilane. The boron hydride adduct was also structurally characterized. Unlike the BAC carbene dicyclohexylborane adduct, the BAC carbene diphenylborane adduct showed essentially no activity in hydrogenation of imines or enamines.

Abstract
The unprecedented synthesis, single-crystal X-ray structure, and first catalytic application of a dicarbene-Ag(I) complex [Ag(BAC)2][CO2CF3] (BAC = bis(diisopropyl)aminocyclopropenylidene) is reported. This novel complex provides a versatile catalytic platform for selective aerobic oxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehyde or ketone products in high yields. Ease of experimental execution coupled with the use of abundant atmospheric molecular oxygen as an oxidant and low catalyst loading are inherit strengths of these oxidations.
