Abstract
Controlling heat flow is a key challenge for applications ranging from thermal management in electronics to energy systems, industrial processing, and thermal therapy. However, progress has generally been limited by slow response times and low tunability in thermal conductance. In this work, we demonstrate an electronically gated solid-state thermal switch using self-assembled molecular junctions to achieve excellent performance at room temperature. In this three-terminal device, heat flow is continuously and reversibly modulated by an electric field through carefully controlled chemical bonding and charge distributions within the molecular interface. The devices have ultrahigh switching speeds above 1 megahertz, have on/off ratios in thermal conductance greater than 1300%, and can be switched more than 1 million times. We anticipate that these advances will generate opportunities in molecular engineering for thermal management systems and thermal circuit design.

Abstract
The chemistry and physics of macropolyhedral B18H22 clusters have attracted significant attention due to the interesting photophysical properties of anti-B18H22 (blue emission, laser properties) and related potential applications. We have focused our attention on the "forgotten" syn-B18H22 isomer, which has received very little attention since its discovery compared to its anti-B18H22 isomer, presumably because numerous studies have reported this isomer as nonluminescent. In our study, we show that in crystalline form, syn-B18H22 exhibits blue fluorescence and becomes phosphorescent when substituted at various positions on the cluster, associated with peculiar microstructural-dependent effects. This work is a combined theoretical and experimental investigation that includes the synthesis, separation, structural characterization, and first elucidation of the photophysical properties of three different monothiol-substituted cluster isomers, [1-HS-syn-B18H21] 1, [3-HS-syn-B18H21] 3, and [4-HS-syn-B18H21] 4, of which isomers 1 and 4 have been proved to exist in two different polymorphic forms. All of these newly substituted macropolyhedral cluster derivatives (1, 3, and 4) have been fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and luminescence spectroscopy. This study also presents the first report on the mechanochromic shift in the luminescence of a borane cluster and generally enriches the area of rather rare boron-based luminescent materials. In addition, we present the first results proving that they are useful constituents of carbon-free self-assembled monolayers.

Abstract
Functionalization of carboranes in a vertex-specific manner is a perennial challenge. Here, we report a photocatalytic B-C coupling for the selective functionalization of carboranes at the boron site which is most distal to carbon. This reaction was achieved by the photo-induced decarboxylation of carborane carboxylic acids to generate boron vertex-centered carboranyl radicals. Theoretical calculations also demonstrate that the reaction more easily occurs at the boron site bearing higher electron density owing to the lower energy barrier for a single-electron transfer to generate a carboranyl radical. By using this strategy, a number of functionalized carboranes could be accessed through alkylation, alkenylation, and heteroarylation under mild conditions. Moreover, both a highly efficient blue emitter with a solid-state luminous efficiency of 42 % and a drug candidate for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) containing targeting and fluorine units were obtained.

Abstract
Scanning probe microscopies and spectroscopies enable investigation of surfaces and even buried interfaces down to the scale of chemical-bonding interactions, and this capability has been enhanced with the support of computational algorithms for data acquisition and image processing to explore physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. Here, we describe how scanning probe techniques have been enhanced by some of these recent algorithmic improvements. One improvement to the data acquisition algorithm is to advance beyond a simple rastering framework by using spirals at constant angular velocity then switching to constant linear velocity, which limits the piezo creep and hysteresis issues seen in traditional acquisition methods. One can also use image-processing techniques to model the distortions that appear from tip motion effects and to make corrections to these images. Another image-processing algorithm we discuss enables researchers to segment images by domains and subdomains, thereby highlighting reactive and interesting disordered sites at domain boundaries. Lastly, we discuss algorithms used to examine the dipole direction of individual molecules and surface domains, hydrogen bonding interactions, and molecular tilt. The computational algorithms used for scanning probe techniques are still improving rapidly and are incorporating machine learning at the next level of iteration. That said, the algorithms are not yet able to perform live adjustments during data recording that could enhance the microscopy and spectroscopic imaging methods significantly.

Abstract
Adsorption of molecular materials with tailored chemical properties represents a new and promising avenue to non-destructively dope silicon. Dithiocarboranes possess large permanent dipoles and readily form stable monolayers on a variety of substrates. Here we use density functional theory to investigate the doping of hydrogen-passivated Si(100) substrates through the adsorption of dithiocarborane molecules. We find that dithiocarboranes can both physisorb and chemisorb on the substrate. Chemisorbed structures arise when a S atom in the molecular linker group replaces a surface H atom. We establish the formation of these Si-molecule bonds and characterize their mechanical and thermal stability. Analysis of the calculated electronic structure of adsorbed interfaces shows that carborane adsorption does not result in interface gap states. The band gap in adsorbed junctions is defined by Si states and its magnitude is almost unchanged with respect to the clean Si slab. The large carborane electrostatic dipole results in the downwards shift of Si spectral features by 0.3 eV, reducing the hole injection barrier by this amount with respect to the pristine Si substrate. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal these structural and electronic features to be stable at room temperature. Our work shows that molecular adsorbates having large electrostatic dipoles are a promising strategy to non-destructively dope semiconductor substrates.

Abstract
Chemical lift-off lithography (CLL) is a subtractive soft-lithographic technique that uses polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps to pattern self-assembled monolayers of functional molecules for applications ranging from biomolecule patterning to transistor fabrication. A hallmark of CLL is preferential cleavage of Au-Au bonds, as opposed to bonds connecting the molecular layer to the substrate, i.e., Au-S bonds. Herein, we show that CLL can be used more broadly as a technique to pattern a variety of substrates composed of coinage metals (Pt, Pd, Ag, Cu), transition and reactive metals (Ni, Ti, Al), and a semiconductor (Ge) using straightforward alkanethiolate self-assembly chemistry. We demonstrate high-fidelity patterning in terms of precise features over large areas on all surfaces investigated. We use patterned monolayers as chemical resists for wet etching to generate metal microstructures. Substrate atoms, along with alkanethiolates, were removed as a result of lift-off, as previously observed for Au. We demonstrate the formation of PDMS-stamp-supported bimetallic monolayers by performing CLL on two different metal surfaces using the same PDMS stamp. By expanding the scope of the surfaces compatible with CLL, we advance and generalize CLL as a method to pattern a wide range of substrates, as well as to produce supported metal monolayers, both with broad applications in surface and materials science.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) crystallization behaviors of A-TPC n ( n = 4, 6, 10), T3C4, and hydrogen-bonded complexes T3C4@TPC n ( n = 4, 6, 10) are investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) observations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The STM observations reveal that A-TPC4, A-TPC10, and T3C4 self-organize into dumbbell-shaped structures, well-ordered bright arrays, and zigzag structures, respectively. Interestingly, T3C4@TPC10 fails to form the cage-ball structure, whereas T3C4@TPC4 and T3C4@TPC6 co-assemble into cage-ball structures with the same lattice parameters. The filling rates of the balls of these two kinds of cage-ball structures depend heavily on the deposition sequence. As a result, the filling rates of the cages in T3C4/A-TPC n ( n = 4, 6) with deposition of T3C4 anterior to A-TPC n are higher than those in A-TPC n/T3C4 ( n = 4, 6) with the opposite deposition sequence. Furthermore, lattice defects formed by T3C4 coexist with the cage-ball structures. Moreover, the similar energy per unit area of lattice defects (-0.101 kcal mol-1 Å-2) and the two cage-ball networks (-0.194 and -0.208 kcal mol-1 Å-2, respectively), illustrating the similar stabilities of lattice defects and cage-ball networks, demonstrates the rationality of lattice defects. Combining STM investigations and DFT calculations, this work could provide a useful approach to investigate the 2D crystallization mechanisms of supramolecular liquid crystals on surfaces.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative B-H/C-H cross coupling of monocarborane anions with alkenes is reported, allowing for the first time the isolation of selectively penta-alkenylated boron clusters. The reaction cascade is regioselective for the cage positions, leading directly to B2-6 functionalization. Under mild and convenient conditions, styrenes, benzylic alkenes and aliphatic alkenes are demonstrated to be viable coupling partners with exclusive vinyl-type B-C bond formation. Multiple subsequent transformations provide access to directing group-free products, chiral derivatives and penta-alkylated cages. The five-fold coupling, combined with the latter reactions, represents a powerful methodology for the straightforward synthesis of new classes of boron clusters.

Abstract
Using density functional theory including van der Waals interactions, we calculate the adsorption and electronic properties of dithiol-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes chemisorbed on Au(111) surfaces. Carborane molecules consist of a cage-like structure made of boron and carbon atoms and possess a large intrinsic dipole. We consider two functionalized carborane positional isomers, with thiol linker groups attached to either carbon or boron backbone atoms, such that when adsorbed on the Au substrate, the molecular dipole points towards the metal surface or away from it. We investigate a large number of junction geometries and find that carborane adsorption can induce significant changes in the work function of the Au substrate, in the range of 1 eV. These changes depend strongly on the interface geometry at the atomistic level. From the analysis of these junction structures, we provide a picture of the driving mechanisms that determine adsorption geometries, and relate them to interface electronic structure and resulting work function modification. In particular, our results highlight the important role played in these interface quantities by distortions in the Au surface layer induced by carborane adsorption.
