Abstract
A one-pot procedure to synthesise aryldifluoroboranes, ArBF2, from bench-stable arylsilanes is presented. These ArBF2 react conveniently with aryllithium reagents to form unsymmetrical ArAr'BF and BArAr'Ar'' in high yield. Examples of all three classes of borane have been characterised crystallographically, allowing for elucidation of geometric and crystal packing trends in crystalline ArBF2.

Abstract
The Lewis superacid, bis(1-methyl-ortho-carboranyl)borane, is rapidly accessed in two steps. It is a very effective hydroboration reagent capable of B-H addition to alkenes, alkynes, and cyclopropanes. To date, this is the first identified Lewis superacidic secondary borane and most reactive neutral hydroboration reagent.

Abstract
Substituents modification of BN-heterocycles on the boron atom has proven important to the photoreactivity and optoelectronic properties of BN-heterocycles. We developed a sequential and diverse synthetic strategy toward BN-heterocycles, in which the boron building block can be introduced with fully pre-functionalized substituents (Route A) or the substituents can be partially (Route B) or fully (Route C) modified after borylation. These three routes are complementary to provide more diverse BN-heterocycles, which will find broad applications in manipulating/controlling molecular transformations and the development of new photoresponsive materials.

Abstract
The reactive borane reagent FpXylBH2•SMe2 was prepared from 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene by treatment with n-BuLi, followed by H3B·SMe2 and subsequent removal of hydride. It undergoes a regioselective hydroboration reaction with 1,2-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)benzene to give the "dimeric" product 13a featuring a conjugated 14-membered core heterocyclic structure that contains a pair of FpXylB units.

Abstract
Examination of the photoreactivity of a new class of N,C-chelate organoboron compounds, including a series of unsymmetrically substituted boron molecules, B(naph-pyridyl)(Ar1 )(Ar2 ) and B(naph-thiazolyl)(Ar1 )(Ar2 ), led to the discovery of new and divergent photothermal isomerization phenomena. These include the clean and regioselective photoisomerization by unsymmetrical boron, forming borepin isomers, some of which further isomerize to the corresponding boratanorcaradiene diastereomer pairs as a result of the generation of two chiral centers. Significantly, the boratanorcaradienes involving a 3-thienyl substituent on boron were found to thermally convert to BN-fluoranthene annulated borapentalene via an unprecedented reversible boratacyclopropane-boratacyclopentene rearrangement. Changing the pyridyl donor to a thiazolyl donor on the boron was found to provide the B(naph-thiazolyl)(Mes)2 compounds with a distinct new photoisomerization pathway-instead of borepin, forming new blue fluorescent polycyclic azaborinine species. This work illustrates the richness and complexity of boron photochemistry.

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 steric and electronic properties of aryl substituents in monoaryl borohydrides (Li[ArBH3 ]) and dihydroboranes were systematically varied and their reactions with [Ru(PCy3 )2 HCl(H2 )] (Cy: cyclohexyl) were studied, resulting in bis(σ)-borane or terminal borylene complexes of ruthenium. These variations allowed for the investigation of the factors involved in the activation of dihydroboranes in the synthesis of terminal borylene complexes. The complexes were studied by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The experimental and computational results suggest that the ortho-substitution of the aryl groups is necessary for the formation of terminal borylene complexes.

Abstract
Treatment of 1,3,5-tris(trifluoromethyl)benzene with n-BuLi, followed by H3 B⋅SMe2 and subsequent hydride removal gave the (Fmes)BH2 reagent, which was isolated as a SMe2 stabilized monomer or a ligand free (μ-H)2 -bridged dimer. Reaction with Mes2 P(vinyl) gave the respective ethylene-bridged P/B(Fmes)H FLP. It reduced carbon monoxide to the formyl stage and carbon dioxide to the formaldehyde oxidation state. Most new compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
A two-step synthesis sequence furnishes quadruply annulated borepins in high yields. The first step involves a nucleophilic substitution reaction between aryl-BF3K salts (aryl = mesityl, phenyl) and lithiated bromonapthalene derivatives LiNaphBr,R (HNaphBr,R = 8-bromonaphthalene (a), 5-bromoacenaphthene (b), 5-bromoacenaphthylene (c)). In the second step, the resulting heteroleptic triarylboranes aryl-B(NaphBr,R)2 (3a-c) are subjected to an intramolecular Ni-mediated Yamamoto reaction to close the seven-membered rings and create the borepins 4a-c. Only in the case of 3b is the Yamamoto reaction accompanied by a C-H activation reaction furnishing the 7-hydro-7-borabenzo[de]anthracene derivative 5. The product ratio 4b/5 can be influenced by control of the local Ni(0) concentration. The borepins 4a-c are benchtop stable and highly soluble even in hexane. Compounds 4a-c undergo reversible one-electron reduction; 4c is also able to accept a second electron in a reversible manner and already at moderate potential values (E1/2 = -1.49 V and -1.84 V (vs FcH/FcH+)). 4a, 4b, and 5 show photoluminescence in the blue-green region of the spectrum, while 4c is nonfluorescent, which is likely attributable to an intramolecular charge-transfer transition.

Abstract
The transition-metal-free hydroboration of various alkenes with pinacolborane (HBpin) initiated by tris[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane (BArF3 ) is reported. The choice of the boron Lewis acid is crucial as the more prominent boron Lewis acid tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C6 F5 )3 ) is reluctant to react. Unlike B(C6 F5 )3 , BArF3 is found to engage in substituent redistribution with HBpin, resulting in the formation of ArF Bpin and the electron-deficient diboranes [H2 BArF ]2 and [(ArF )(H)B(μ-H)2 BArF2 ]. These in situ-generated hydroboranes undergo regioselective hydroboration of styrene derivatives as well as aliphatic alkenes with cis diastereoselectivity. Another ligand metathesis of these adducts with HBpin subsequently affords the corresponding HBpin-derived anti-Markovnikov adducts. The reactive hydroboranes are regenerated in this step, thereby closing the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
A series of homo- and hetero-tri(aryl)boranes incorporating pentafluorophenyl, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl, and pentachlorophenyl groups, four of which are novel species, have been studied as the acidic component of frustrated Lewis pairs for the heterolytic cleavage of H2. Under mild conditions eight of these will cleave H2; the rate of cleavage depending on both the electrophilicity of the borane and the steric bulk around the boron atom. Electrochemical studies allow comparisons of the electrophilicity with spectroscopic measurements of Lewis acidity for different series of boranes. Discrepancies in the correlation between these two types of measurements, combined with structural characterisation of each borane, reveal that the twist of the aryl rings with respect to the boron-centred trigonal plane is significant from both a steric and electronic perspective, and is an important consideration in the design of tri(aryl)boranes as Lewis acids.

Abstract
Hydroboration of dimesitylvinylphosphane with bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane [HB(Fxyl)2 ] gave the intramolecular ethylene-bridged P/B frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) Mes2 PCH2 CH2 B(Fxyl)2 . The new compound underwent a variety of typical FLP reactions such as P/B-addition to the carbonyl group of p-chloro-benzaldehyde. Cooperative N,N-addition to nitric oxide gave the respective persistent P/B FLPNO(.) radical, which readily reacted with 1,4-cyclohexadiene by H-atom abstraction to yield the corresponding P/B FLPNOH product. The B(Fxyl)2 -containing FLP reacted as a template for the HB(C6 F5 )2 reduction of carbon monoxide to the formyl stage to give the respective FLP(η(2) -formylborane) product. Most products were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystal structure analysis.

Abstract
The geminal frustrated Lewis pair tBu2 PCH2 B(Fxyl)2 (1; Fxyl=3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 ) is accessible in 65 % yield from tBu2 PCH2 Li and (Fxyl)2 BF. According to NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, 1 is monomeric both in solution and in the solid state. The intramolecular P⋅⋅⋅B distance of 2.900(5) Å and the full planarity of the borane site exclude any significant P/B interaction. Compound 1 readily activates a broad variety of substrates including H2 , EtMe2 SiH, CO2 /CS2 , Ph2 CO, and H3 CCN. Terminal alkynes react with heterolysis of the C-H bond. Haloboranes give cyclic adducts with strong P-BX3 and weak R3 B-X bonds. Unprecedented transformations leading to zwitterionic XP/BCX3 adducts occur on treatment of 1 with CCl4 or CBr4 in Et2 O. In less polar solvents (C6 H6 , n-pentane), XP/BCX3 adduct formation is accompanied by the generation of significant amounts of XP/BX adducts. FLP 1 catalyzes the hydrogenation of PhCH=NtBu and the hydrosilylation of Ph2 CO with EtMe2 SiH.

Abstract
Organoboranes carrying electron-withdrawing substituents are commonly used as Lewis acidic catalysts or cocatalysts in a variety of organic processes. These Lewis acids also became popular through their application in `frustrated Lewis pairs', i.e. combinations of Lewis acids and bases that are unable to fully neutralize each other due to steric or electronic effects. We have determined the crystal and molecular structures of four heteroleptic arylboranes carrying 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl, 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl or mesityl substituents. [3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]bis[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane, C22H11BF12, (I), crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit which show very similar geometric parameters. In one of the two molecules, both trifluoromethyl groups of the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl substituent are disordered over two positions. In [3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]bis[2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane, C24H9BF18, (II), only one of the two meta-trifluoromethyl groups is disordered. In [2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane, C24H9BF18, (III), both meta-trifluoromethyl groups of only one 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl ring are disordered. [3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]dimesitylborane, C26H25BF6, (IV), carries only one meta-trifluoromethyl-substituted phenyl ring, with one of the two trifluoromethyl groups disordered over two positions. In addition to compounds (I)-(IV), the structure of bis[2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]fluoroborane, C16H6BF13, (V), is presented. None of the ortho-trifluoromethyl groups is disordered in any of the five compounds. In all the structures, the boron centre is in a trigonal planar coordination. Nevertheless, the bond angles around this atom vary according to the bulkiness and mutual repulsion of the substituents of the phenyl rings. Also, the ortho-trifluoromethyl-substituted phenyl rings usually show longer B-C bonds and tend to be tilted out of the BC3 plane by a higher degree than the phenyl rings carrying ortho H atoms. A comparison with related structures corroborates the conclusions regarding the geometric parameters of the boron centre drawn from the five structures in this paper. On the other hand, CF3 groups in meta positions do not seem to have a marked effect on the geometry involving the boron centre. Furthermore, it has been observed for the structures reported here and those reported previously that for CF3 groups in ortho positions of the aromatic ring, disorder of the F atoms is less probable than for CF3 groups in meta or para positions of the ring.
