Abstract
A neutral boron-containing triangular triradical based on a triptycene derivative has been designed and synthesized. Its structure, bonding and physical property have been studied by EPR spectroscopy, SQUID magnetometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as theoretical calculations. The triradical has a series of isosceles triangle conformations in the solution due to the Jahn-Teller distortion, leading to the splitting of the two low-lying doublet states. This factor together with negligible spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of composing light atoms quenches the spin frustration. The work represents a rare example of a neutral through-space triangular triradical.

Abstract
The impact of the exact spatial arrangement of the alkali metal on the electronic properties of 9-carbene-9-borafluorene monoanions is assessed, and a series of [K][9-CAAC-9-borafluorene] complexes (1-4) have been isolated (CAAC = cyclic(alkyl)(amino) carbene, (2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4,4-diethyl-2,2-dimethyl-pyrrolidin-5-ylidene). Compound 1, which contains [B]-K(THF)3 interactions, is compared to charge-separated 2-4, which were prepared by capturing the potassium cations with 18-crown-6, 2.2.2-cryptand, or 1,10-phenanthroline. Notably, the 11B NMR spectra of charge-separated borafluorene monoanions 2-4 show distinct low-field signatures compared to 1. Theoretical calculations indicate that charge separation may be exploited to influence the nucleophilic and electron transfer properties of 9-carbene-9-borafluorene monoanions. When [K(2.2.2-cryptand)][9-CAAC-9-borafluorene] (3) is reacted with 9,10-phenanthrenequinone and 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, the carbene ligand is displaced, and new air-stable R2BO2 spirocycles are formed (5 and 6, respectively). Remarkably, compounds 5 and 6 display fluorescence under UV light in both the solid and solution phases with quantum yields of up to 20%. In addition, a drastic red-shift in the emission color is observed in 6 because of the presence of the nitrogen atoms on the phenanthroline moiety. Mechanistic insights into the formation of these spirocycles are also described based on density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Molecules with luminescence have been extensively investigated, but the luminescence of a stable molecule with a triplet ground state has not been observed. Synthesis of boron-containing radicals has attracted lots of interest because of their unique electronic structures and potential applications in organic semiconductors. Though some boron-based diradicals have been reported, neutral boron-containing diradicals with triplet ground states are rare. Herein two borocyclic diradicals with different substituents (3 and 4) have been isolated. Their electronic structures were investigated by EPR and UV spectroscopy, and SQUID magnetometry, in conjunction with DFT calculations. Both experiment and calculation suggest that 3 is an open shell singlet diradical while 4 is a triplet ground state diradical with a large singlet–triplet gap (0.25 kcal mol−1). Both diradicals show multi fluorescence peaks (3: 414, 431, and 470 nm; 4: 420, 433, and 495 nm). 3 displays multiple redox steps and is a potential material towards the design of high-density memory devices. 4 represents the first example of a neutral triplet boron-containing diradical with a strong ferromagnetic interaction, and also is the first stable triplet diradical emitter. Stable borocyclic diradical emitters with a tunable ground state.![]()

Abstract
Two-electron reduction of carbene-supported 9-bromo-9-borafluorenes with excess KC8 , Na, or Li-naphthalenide affords six N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)- or cyclic(alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC)-stabilized borafluorene anions (3-8)-the first isolated and structurally authenticated examples of the elusive 9-carbene-9-borafluorene monoanion. The electronic structure, bonding, and aromaticity of the boracyclic anions were comprehensively investigated via computational studies. Compounds 5 and 8 react with metal halides via salt elimination to give new B-E (E=Au, Se, Ge)-containing materials (9-12). Upon reaction with diketones, the carbene ligand cleanly dissociates from 5 or 8 to yield new B-O containing spirocycles (13-14) that cannot be easily obtained using "normal" valent borafluorene compounds. Collectively, these results support the notion that carbene-stabilized monoanionic borafluorenes may serve as a new platform for the one-step construction of higher-value boracyclic materials.

Abstract
Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of anionic boron- and carbon-based Kekulé diradicaloids spanned by a p-phenylene bridge. In contrast to Thiele's hydrocarbon, a closed-shell singlet system, they show an appreciable population of the triplet state at room temperature, as evidenced by both NMR and EPR spectroscopy. Moreover, en route to these anionic boron- and carbon-based hetero-diradicaloids, the formation of an isolable diamino(4-diarylboryl-phenyl)methyl radical was observed.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed remarkable advances in radical reactions involving main-group metal complexes. This includes the isolation and detailed characterization of main-group metal radical compounds, but also the generation of highly reactive persistent or transient radical species. A rich arsenal of methods has been established that allows control over and exploitation of their unusual reactivity patterns. Thus, main-group metal compounds have entered the field of selective bond formations in controlled radical reactions. Transformations that used to be the domain of late transition-metal compounds have been realized, and unusual selectivities, high activities, as well as remarkable functional-group tolerances have been reported. Recent findings demonstrate the potential of main-group metal compounds to become standard tools of synthetic chemistry, catalysis, and materials science, when operating through radical pathways.

Abstract
One- and two-electron oxidation of a digallene stabilized by an N-heterocyclic carbene afforded the first stable gallium-based radical cation and dication salts, respectively. Structural analysis and theoretical calculations reveal that the oxidation occurs at the Ga=Ga double bond, leading to removal of π electrons of the double bond and a decrease of the bond order. The spin density of the radical cation mainly locates at the two gallium centers as demonstrated by EPR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Moreover, the reactivity of the radical cation salt toward nBu3 SnH and cyclo-S8 was studied; a digallium-hydride cation salt containing a Ga-Ga single bond and a gallium sulfide cluster bearing an unprecedented ladder-like Ga4 S4 core structure were obtained, respectively.

Abstract
A novel method for site-selective C-H functionalization of ethyl acetate mediated by pyridine-boryl radicals is presented, delivering a variety of 4-phenylbut-3-yn-2-yl acetate derivatives under mild conditions. A distinguishing feature of this reaction is that the pyridine-ligated boryl radicals can abstract the inactive α-hydrogen of the alkoxyl group instead of the α-hydrogen of carbonyl groups described in a previous report using amine-ligated boryl radicals. Significantly, substrates with halogen atoms are compatible under the reaction conditions.

Abstract
In the presence of two molar equiv. of B(C6F5)3p-benzoquinone reacts with persistent radicals TEMPO, trityl or decamethylferrocene by single electron transfer to give the doubly O-borylated benzosemiquinone radical anion with TEMPO+, trityl cation or ferrocenium counter cations.
In the presence of two molar equiv. of B(C6F5)3p-benzoquinone reacts with persistent radicals TEMPO, trityl or decamethylferrocene by single electron transfer to give doubly O-borylated benzosemiquinone radical anions with TEMPO+, trityl or ferrocenium counter cations. All three [(C6F5)3B]2–semiquinone radical anion salts were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The addition of donor reagent THF or DMSO induced rapid back electron transfer, in the case of the [(C6F5)3B]2–semiquinone radical anion oxoammonium salt giving rise to the formation of the (C6F5)3B–DMSO (or THF) Lewis adduct, p-benzoquinone and the TEMPO radical. The reaction of 9,10-anthraquinone or acenaphthenequinone with either the Gomberg dimer or in 1 : 1 stoichiometry in the presence of two molar equiv. of B(C6F5)3 gave the respective two-fold O–B(C6F5)3 containing 9,10-anthrasemiquinone or acenaphthene-semiquinone radical anion salts with either Ph3C+ or counter cations. These products were also characterized by X-ray diffraction. The salts showed analogous back electron shuttling behavior upon treatment with DMSO. 9,10-Phenanthrenequinone reacted analogously with B(C6F5)3 and the electron rich ferrocene. The [(C6F5)3B]2–9,10-phenanthrene–semiquinone salt was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The radical anions were characterized by ESR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Whereas low-temperature (-78 °C) reaction of the lithium dithiolene radical 1. with boron bromide gives the dibromoboron dithiolene radical 2. , the parallel reaction of 1. with (C6 H11 )2 BCl (0 °C) affords the dicyclohexylboron dithiolene radical 3. . Radicals 2. and 3. were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, UV/Vis, and EPR spectroscopy. The nature of these radicals was also probed computationally. Under mild conditions, 3. undergoes unexpected thiourea-mediated B-C bond activation to give zwitterion 4, which may be regarded as an anionic dithiolene-modified carbene complex of the sulfenyl cation RS+ (R=cyclohexyl).

Abstract
A boryl radical-triggered C-H functionalization of aliphatic ethers/amines or DMF with isocyanides is developed to deliver diverse phenanthridine derivatives in good to excellent yields. The substrate scope is broad, and a wide range of functional groups are tolerated under the standard conditions. The rapid removal of HBPin species by 4-cyanopyridine 1-oxide provides the driving force for this reaction. This new method should make boryl radicals widely applicable in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Redox active, or non-innocent, ligands containing O or N heteroatoms are frequently used in transition metal complexes, imparting unique catalytic properties, but have seen comparatively limited use in the chemistry of group 13 elements. In this article we report the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) hydrogenation and hydroboration of an N-aryl-phenanthrene-o-iminoquinone and two N,N'-diaryl-phenanthrene α-diimines. These reactions exploit B(C6F5)3/H2, HB(C6F5)2 and H2BC6F5·SMe2 to give a series of derivatives including 1,3,2-oxaza- and diazaboroles and borocyclic radicals. The reaction pathways leading to these products are outlined and supported by DFT-calculations and experimental insight. The modular and unusual synthetic strategies described herein give access to new boroles as well as air-stable boron-containing radicals, thus extending the chemistry of redox active ligands in main group systems.

Abstract
Boron-linked tetraaminoethylene radical cations has been isolated.
Single-electron oxidation of neutral boryl-linked tetraaminoethylene derivatives 4 led to the formation of radical cations 4˙+, which have been isolated and fully characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR spectroscopy, and computational studies revealed that the unpaired electron is delocalized over the B2N4C2 skeleton and the spin density mainly resides on the carbon and boron atoms.
