Abstract
Dehydrogenation of ammonia borane to well-defined products is an important but challenging reaction. A dinuclear ruthenium complex with a Ru-Ru bond bearing a diazadiene (dad) unit and olefins as non-innocent ligands catalyzes the highly selective formation of conjugated polycondensed borazine oligomers (BxNxHy), predominantly B21N21H18, the BN analogue of superbenzene.

Abstract
The sigma amine-borane complexes [Rh(L1)(η2 :η2 -H3 B⋅NRH2 )][OTf] (L1=2,6-bis-[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine, R=Me, Et, n Pr) are described, alongside [Rh(L1)(NMeH2 )][OTf]. Using R=Me as a pre-catalyst (1 mol %) the dehydropolymerization of H3 B ⋅ NMeH2 gives [H2 BNMeH]n selectively. Added NMeH2 , or the direct use of [Rh(L1)(NMeH2 )][OTf], is required for initiation of catalysis, which is suggested to operate through the formation of a neutral hydride complex, Rh(L1)H. The formation of small (1-5 nm) nanoparticles is observed at the end of catalysis, but studies are ambiguous as to whether the catalysis is solely nanoparticle promoted or if there is a molecular homogeneous component. [Rh(L1)(NMeH2 )][OTf] is shown to operate at 0.025 mol % loadings on a 2 g scale of H3 B ⋅ NMeH2 to give polyaminoborane [H2 BNMeH]n [Mn =30,900 g/mol, Ð=1.8] that can be purified to a low residual [Rh] (6 μg/g). Addition of Na[N(SiMe3 )2 ] to [H2 BNMeH]n results in selective depolymerization to form the eee-isomer of N,N,N-trimethylcyclotriborazane [H2 BNMeH]3 : the chemical repurposing of a main-group polymer.

Abstract
![]()
The dehydropolymerization of H3B·NMeH2 to form N-methylpolyaminoborane using neutral
and
cationic catalysts based on the {Ir(iPr-PNHP)} fragment [iPr-PNHP = κ3-(CH2CH2PiPr2)2NH] is reported. Neutral
Ir(iPr-PNHP)H3 or
Ir(iPr-PNHP)H2Cl
precatalysts show no, or poor and unselective, activity respectively
at 298 K in 1,2-F2C6H4 solution.
In contrast, addition of [NMeH3][BArF4] (ArF = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) to Ir(iPr-PNHP)H3 immediately starts catalysis, suggesting that a cationic
catalytic manifold operates. Consistent with this, independently synthesized
cationic precatalysts are active (tested between 0.5 and 2.0 mol %
loading) producing poly(N-methylaminoborane) with Mn ∼ 40,000 g/mol, Đ ∼1.5, i.e., dihydrogen/dihydride, [Ir(iPr-PNHP)(H)2(H2)][BArF4]; σ-amine-borane [Ir(iPr-PNHP)(H)2(H3B·NMe3)][BArF4]; and [Ir(iPr-PNHP)(H)2(NMeH2)][BArF4]. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations
probe hydride exchange processes in two of these complexes and also
show that the barrier to amine-borane dehydrogenation is lower (22.5
kcal/mol) for the cationic system compared with the neutral system
(24.3 kcal/mol). The calculations show that the dehydrogenation proceeds
via an inner-sphere process without metal–ligand cooperativity,
and this is supported experimentally by N–Me substituted [Ir(iPr-PNMeP)(H)2(H3B·NMe3)][BArF4] being
an active catalyst. Key to the lower barrier calculated for the cationic
system is the outer-sphere coordination of an additional H3B·NMeH2 with the N–H group of the ligand.
Experimentally, kinetic studies indicate a complex reaction manifold
that shows pronounced deceleratory temporal profiles. As supported
by speciation and DFT studies, a key observation is that deprotonation
of [Ir(iPr-NHP)(H)2(H2)][BArF4], formed upon amine-borane
dehydrogenation, by the slow in situ formation of NMeH2 (via B–N bond cleavage), results in the formation of essentially
inactive Ir(iPr-PNHP)H3, with a coproduct of [NMeH3]+/[H2B(NMeH2)2]+. While reprotonation
of Ir(iPr-PNHP)H3 results in a return to the cationic cycle, it is proposed, supported
by doping experiments, that reprotonation is attenuated by entrainment
of the [NMeH3]+/[H2B(NMeH2)2]+/catalyst in insoluble polyaminoborane.
The role of [NMeH3]+/[H2B(NMeH2)]+ as chain control agents is also noted.

Abstract
The air tolerant precatalyst, [Rh(L)(NBD)]Cl ([1]Cl) [L = κ3-(iPr2PCH2CH2)2NH, NBD = norbornadiene], mediates the selective synthesis of N-methylpolyaminoborane, (H2BNMeH)n, by dehydropolymerization of H3B·NMeH2. Kinetic, speciation, and DFT studies show an induction period in which the active catalyst, Rh(L)H3 (3), forms, which sits as an outer-sphere adduct 3·H3BNMeH2 as the resting state. At the end of catalysis, dormant Rh(L)H2Cl (2) is formed. Reaction of 2 with H3B·NMeH2 returns 3, alongside the proposed formation of boronium [H2B(NMeH2)2]Cl. Aided by isotopic labeling, Eyring analysis, and DFT calculations, a mechanism is proposed in which the cooperative "PNHP" ligand templates dehydrogenation, releasing H2B═NMeH (ΔG‡calc = 19.6 kcal mol-1). H2B═NMeH is proposed to undergo rapid, low barrier, head-to-tail chain propagation for which 3 is the catalyst/initiator. A high molecular weight polymer is formed that is relatively insensitive to catalyst loading (Mn ∼71 000 g mol-1; Đ, of ∼ 1.6). The molecular weight can be controlled using [H2B(NMe2H)2]Cl as a chain transfer agent, Mn = 37 900-78 100 g mol-1. This polymerization is suggested to arise from an ensemble of processes (catalyst speciation, dehydrogenation, propagation, chain transfer) that are geared around the concentration of H3B·NMeH2. TGA and DSC thermal analysis of polymer produced on scale (10 g, 0.01 mol % [1]Cl) show a processing window that allows for melt extrusion of polyaminoborane strands, as well as hot pressing, drop casting, and electrospray deposition. By variation of conditions in the latter, smooth or porous microstructured films or spherical polyaminoboranes beads (∼100 nm) result.

Abstract
2D III-nitride materials have been receiving considerable attention recently due to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as high stability, wide and tunable bandgap, and magnetism. Therefore, 2D III-nitride materials can be applied in various fields, such as electronic and photoelectric devices, spin-based devices, and gas detectors. Although the developments of 2D h-BN materials have been successful, the fabrication of other 2D III-nitride materials, such as 2D h-AlN, h-GaN, and h-InN, are still far from satisfactory, which limits the practical applications of these materials. In this review, recent advances in the properties, growth methods, and potential applications of 2D III-nitride materials are summarized. The properties of the 2D III-nitride materials are mainly obtained by first-principles calculations because of the difficulties in the growth and characterizations of these materials. The discussion on the growth of 2D III-nitride materials is focused on 2D h-BN and h-AlN, as the developments of 2D h-GaN and h-InN are yet to be realized. Therefore, applications have been realized mostly based on the 2D h-BN materials; however, many potential applications are cited for the entire range of 2D III-nitride materials. Finally, future research directions and prospects in this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Various 2D materials can be assembled into vertical heterostructure stacks that emit strong electroluminescence. However, to date, most work is done using mechanical exfoliated materials, with little insights gained into the operation limits and failure mechanisms due to the limited number of devices produced and the device-to-device variances. However, when using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown 2D crystals, it is possible to construct dozens of devices to generate statistics and ensemble insights, providing a viable way toward scalable industrialization of 2D optoelectronics. In particular, the operation lifetime/duration of electroluminescence and subsequent failure mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that all-2D vertical layered heterostructure (VLH) devices made using CVD-grown materials (Gr:h-BN:WS2:h-BN:Gr) can generate strong red electroluminescence (EL) with continuous operation for more than 2 h in ambient atmospheric conditions under constant bias. Layer-by-layer controlled assembly is used to achieve graphene top and bottom electrodes in a crossbar geometry, with few layered h-BN continuous films as tunnel barriers for direct carrier injection into semiconducting monolayer WS2 single crystals with direct band gap recombination. Tens of the devices were fabricated in a single chip, with strong EL routinely measured under both positive and negative graphene electrode bias. The success rate for EL emission in devices is over 90%. EL starts to be detected at bias values of ∼5 V, with bright red emission located at the crossbar intersection site, with intensity increasing with applied bias. Long-lived persistent EL is demonstrated for more than 2 h without significant degradation of WS2 under high bias conditions of 20 V. In cycling tests, the EL signal peak position and intensity stay almost the same after several ON/OFF cycles with high bias, which proves that our device has good stability and durability when pulsed. Breakdown of the device is shown to occur at a bias value of ∼35 V, whereby current reduces to zero and EL abruptly stops, due to breakdown of the top graphene electrode, associated with local heating accumulation. This study provides a viable way for wafer-scale fabrication of high-performance 2D EL arrays for ultrathin optoelectronic devices and sheds light on the mechanisms of failure and operation limits of EL devices in ambient conditions.

Abstract
Dehydropolymerisation of methylamine borane (H3 B⋅NMeH2 ) using the well-known iron amido complex [(PNP)Fe(H)(CO)] (PNP=N(CH2 CH2 PiPr2 )2 ) (1) gives poly(aminoborane)s by a chain-growth mechanism. In toluene, rapid dehydrogenation of H3 B⋅NMeH2 following first-order behaviour as a limiting case of a more general underlying Michaelis-Menten kinetics is observed, forming aminoborane H2 B=NMeH, which selectively couples to give high-molecular-weight poly(aminoborane)s (H2 BNMeH)n and only traces of borazine (HBNMe)3 by depolymerisation after full conversion. Based on a series of comparative experiments using structurally related Fe catalysts and dimethylamine borane (H3 B⋅NMe2 H) polymer formation is proposed to occur by nucleophilic chain growth as reported earlier computationally and experimentally. A silyl functionalised primary borane H3 B⋅N(CH2 SiMe3 )H2 was studied in homo- and co-dehydropolymerisation reactions to give the first examples for Si containing poly(aminoborane)s.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are atomically thick and without out-of-plane dangling bonds. As a result, they could break the confinement of lattice matching, and thus can be freely mixed and matched together to construct vertical van der Waals heterostructures. Here, we demonstrated an asymmetrical vertical structure of graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)/tungsten disulfide (WS2)/graphene using all chemical vapor deposition grown 2D materials. Three building blocks are utilized in this construction: conductive graphene as a good alternative for the metal electrode due to its tunable Fermi level and ultrathin nature, semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as an ultrathin photoactive material, and insulating h-BNas a tunneling barrier. Such an asymmetrical vertical structure exhibits a much stronger photovoltaic effect than the symmetrical vertical one without h-BN. By changing the sequence of h-BN in the vertical stack, we could even control the electron flow direction. Also, improvement has been further made by increasing the thickness of h-BN. The photovoltaic effect is attributed to different possibilities of excited electrons on TMDs to migrate to top and bottom graphene electrodes, which is caused by potential differences introduced by an insulating h-BN layer. This study shows that h-BN could be effectively used as a tunneling barrier in the asymmetrical vertical heterostructure to improve photovoltaic effect and control the electron flow direction, which is crucial for the design of other 2D vertical heterostructures to meet various needs of electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The σ-amine-borane pincer complex [Rh(PONOP)(η1-H3B·NMe3)][BArF4] [2, PONOP = κ3-NC5H3-2,6-(OPtBu2)2] is prepared by addition of H3B·NMe3 to the dihydrogen precursor [Rh(PONOP)(η2-H2)][BArF4], 1. In a similar way the related H3B·NMe2H complex [Rh(PONOP)(η1-H3B·NMe2H)][BArF4], 3, can be made in situ, but this undergoes dehydrocoupling to reform 1 and give the aminoborane dimer [H2BNMe2]2. NMR studies on this system reveal an intermediate neutral hydride forms, Rh(PONOP)H, 4, that has been prepared independently. 1 is a competent catalyst (2 mol%, ∼30 min) for the dehydrocoupling of H3B·Me2H. Kinetic, mechanistic and computational studies point to the role of NMe2H in both forming the neutral hydride, via deprotonation of a σ-amine-borane complex and formation of aminoborane, and closing the catalytic cycle by reprotonation of the hydride by the thus-formed dimethyl ammonium [NMe2H2]+. Competitive processes involving the generation of boronium [H2B(NMe2H)2]+ are also discussed, but shown to be higher in energy. Off-cycle adducts between [NMe2H2]+ or [H2B(NMe2H)2]+ and amine-boranes are also discussed that act to modify the kinetics of dehydrocoupling.

Abstract
The solid progress in the study of a single two-dimensional (2D) material underpins the development for creating 2D material assemblies with various electronic and optoelectronic properties. We introduce an asymmetric structure by stacking monolayer semiconducting tungsten disulfide, metallic graphene, and insulating boron nitride to fabricate numerous red channel light-emitting devices (LEDs). All the 2D crystals were grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which has great potential for future industrial scale-up. Our LEDs exhibit visibly observable electroluminescence (EL) at both 5.5 V forward and 7.0 V backward biasing, which correlates well with our asymmetric design. The red emission can last for at least several minutes, and the success rate of the working device that can emit detectable EL is up to 80%. In addition, we show that sample degradation is prone to happen when a continuing bias, much higher than the threshold voltage, is applied. Our success of using high-quality CVD-grown 2D materials for red light emitters is expected to provide the basis for flexible and transparent displays.

Abstract
Controllable synthesis of high-quality hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is desired toward the industrial application of 2D devices based on van der Waals heterostructures. Substantial efforts are devoted to synthesize h-BN on copper through chemical vapor deposition, which has been successfully applied to grow graphene. However, the progress in synthesizing h-BN has been significantly retarded, and it is still challenging to realize millimeter-scale domains and control their morphologies reliably. Here, the nucleation density of h-BN on Cu is successfully reduced by over two orders of magnitude by simply introducing a small amount of silicon, giving rise to large triangular domains with maximum 0.25 mm lateral size. Moreover, the domain morphologies can be modified from needles, tree patterns, and leaf darts to triangles through controlling the growth temperature. The presence of silicon alters the growth mechanism from attachment-limited mode to diffusion-limited mode, leading to dendrite domains that are rarely observed on pure Cu. A phase-field model is utilized to reveal the growing dynamics regarding B-N diffusion, desorption, flux, and reactivity variables, and explain the morphology evolution. The work sheds lights on the h-BN growth toward large single crystals and morphology probabilities.

Abstract
We show that reducing the degree of van der Waals overlapping in all 2D ultrathin lateral devices composed of graphene:WS2:graphene leads to significant increase in photodetector responsivity. This is achieved by directly growing WS2 using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in prepatterned graphene gaps to create epitaxial interfaces. Direct-CVD-grown graphene:WS2:graphene lateral photodetecting transistors exhibit high photoresponsivities reaching 121 A/W under 2.7 × 105 mW/cm2 532 nm illumination, which is around 2 orders of magnitude higher than similar devices made by the layer-by-layer transfer method. The photoresponsivity of our direct-CVD-grown device shows negative correlation with illumination power under different gate voltages, which is different from similar devices made by the transfer method. We show that the high photoresponsivity is due to the lowering of effective Schottky barrier height by improving the contact between graphene and WS2. Furthermore, the direct CVD growth reduces overlapping sections of WS2:Gr and leads to more uniform lateral systems. This approach provides insights into scalable manufacturing of high-quality 2D lateral electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The dehydropolymerization of amine-boranes, exemplified as H2 RB⋅NR'H2 , to produce polyaminoboranes (HRBNR'H)n that are inorganic analogues of polyolefins with alternating main-chain B-N units, is an area with significant potential, stemming from both fundamental (mechanism, catalyst development, main-group hetero-cross-coupling) and technological (new polymeric materials) opportunities. This Concept article outlines recent advances in the field, covering catalyst development and performance, current mechanistic models, and alternative non-catalytic routes for polymer production. The substrate scope, polymer properties and applications of these exciting materials are also outlined. Challenges and opportunities in the field are suggested, as a way of providing focus for future investigations.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials hold great promise in flexible electronics, but the weak van der Waals interlayer bonding may pose a problem during bending, where easy interlayer sliding can occur. Furthermore, thin films of rigid materials are often observed to delaminate from soft substrates during straining. Here, we study the influence of substrate strain on some of the heterostructure configurations we expect to find in devices, composed of three common 2D materials: graphene, tungsten disulfide, and boron nitride. We used photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy to measure changes in the heterostructures with strain applied in situ. All heterostructures were fabricated directly on polymer substrates, using materials synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. We observed an inhomogeneous release of strain in all structures, leading to a nonrecoverable broadening of the PL peak and shift of the bandgap. This suggests the need for preconditioning devices before service to ensure stable behavior. A gradual time-dependent relaxation of strain between strain cycles was characterized using time-dependent measurements-an effect which could lead to drift of device behavior during operation. Furthermore, possible degradation was assessed by performing the strain and relax the cycle up to 200 times, where we found little further change after the initial shifts had stabilized. These results have important ramifications for devices fabricated from these and other 2D materials, as they suggest extra processing steps and considerations that must be taken to achieve consistent and stable properties.

Abstract
Two-dimensional gallium sulfide (GaS) crystals are synthesized by a simple and efficient ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using a single-source precursor of Ga2S3. The synthesized GaS structures involve triangular monolayer domains and multilayer flakes with thickness of 1 and 15 nm, respectively. Regions of continuous films of GaS are also achieved with about 0.7 cm2 uniform coverage. This is achieved by using hydrogen carrier gas and the horizontally placed SiO2/Si substrates. Electron microscopy and spectroscopic measurements are used to characteristic the CVD-grown materials. This provides important insights into novel approaches for enlarging the domain size of GaS crystals and understanding of the growth mechanism using this precursor system.

Abstract
Precatalysts active for the dehydropolymerisation of primary amine-boranes are generally based on mid or late transition metal. We have found that the activity of the precatalyst system formed from CpR2TiCl2 and 2nBuLi towards the dehydrogenation of the secondary amine-borane Me2NH·BH3, to yield the cyclic diborazane [Me2N-BH2]2, increases dramatically with increasing electron-donating character of the cyclopentadienyl rings (CpR). Application of the most active precatalyst system (CpR = η-C5Me5) to the primary amine-borane MeNH2·BH3 enabled the first synthesis of high molar mass poly(N-methylaminoborane), [MeNH-BH2] n , the BN analogue of polypropylene, by an early transition metal such as catalyst. Significantly, unlike other dehydropolymerization precatalysts for MeNH2·BH3 such as [Ir(POCOP)H2], skeletal nickel, and [Rh(COD)Cl]2, the Ti precatalyst system was also active towards a range of substrates including BzNH2·BH3 (Bz = benzyl) yielding high molar mass polymer. Moreover, in contrast to the late transition metal catalysed dehydropolymerisation of MeNH2·BH3 and also the Ziegler-Natta polymerisation of olefins, studies indicate that the Ti-catalyzed dehydropolymerization reactions proceed by a step-growth rather than a chain-growth mechanism.

Abstract
A procedure for the one-step preparation of films of few-layer N-doped graphene on top of nanometric hexagonal boron nitride sheets ((N)graphene/h-BN) based on the pyrolysis at 900 °C under an inert atmosphere of a film of chitosan containing about 20 wt% of ammonium borate salt as a precursor is reported. During the pyrolysis a spontaneous segregation of (N)graphene and boron nitride layers takes place. The films were characterized by optical microscopy that shows a thin graphene overlayer covering the boron nitride layer, the latter showing characteristic cracks, and by XPS measurements at different monitoring angles from 0° to 50° where an increase in the proportion of C vs. B and N was observed. The resulting (N)graphene/h-BN films were also characterized by Raman, HRTEM, SEM, FIB-SEM and AFM. The thickness of the (N)graphene and h-BN layers can be controlled by varying the concentration of precursors and the spin coating rate and is typically below 5 nm. Electrical conductivity measurements using microelectrodes can cause the burning of the graphene layer at high intensities, while lower intensities show that (N)graphene/h-BN films behave as capacitors in the range of positive voltages.

Abstract
We show how control over the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reaction chemistry of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) by hydrogen addition can enable the direct growth of centimeter-scale continuous films of vertically stacked MoS2 monolayer on graphene under atmospheric pressure conditions. Hydrogen addition enables longer CVD growth times at high temperature by reducing oxidation effects that would otherwise degrade the monolayer graphene. By careful control of nucleation density and growth time, high-quality monolayer MoS2 films could be formed on graphene, realizing all CVD-grown vertically stacked monolayer semimetal/semiconducting interfaces. Photoluminescence spectroscopy shows quenching of MoS2 by the underlying graphene, indicating a good interfacial charge transfer. We utilize the MoS2/graphene vertical stacks as photodetectors, with photoresponsivities reaching 2.4 A/W under 135 μW 532 nm illumination. This approach provides insights into the scalable manufacturing of high-quality two-dimensional electronic and optoelectronic devices.
