Abstract
In the current study, we investigated the insecticidal efficacy of two borates, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (Etidot-67) and calcium metaborate (CMB) via surface application or diet delivery on the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The application method did not change the boron-related mortality, but CMB was more effective than Etidot-67. At the highest dose, it took around 13 days to reach the highest mortality (≥98.1%) for CMB, while it was 19 days for Etidot-67 (≥95.8%). Both boron compounds led to a significant reduction in triglyceride levels in parallel to the downregulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FAS), the two primary genes involved in de novo lipogenesis, while they also induced body weight loss. In conclusion, the current study indicated the insecticidal potential of boron compounds but CMB is more promising and more effective in controlling T. castaneum, while lipogenesis is inhibited and weight loss is induced by boron compounds.

Abstract
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) stands as one of the most potent halogenated polycyclic hydrocarbons, known to inflict substantial cytotoxic effects on both animal and human tissues. Its widespread presence and recalcitrance make it an environmental and health concern. Efforts are being intensively channeled to uncover strategies that could mitigate the adverse health outcomes associated with TCDD exposure. In the realm of counteractive agents, boron compounds are emerging as potential candidates. These compounds, which have found applications in a spectrum of industries ranging from agriculture to pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing, are known to modulate several cellular processes and enzymatic pathways. However, the dose-response relationships and protective potentials of commercially prevalent boron compounds, such as boric acid (BA), ulexite (UX), and borax (BX), have not been comprehensively studied. In our detailed investigation, when peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were subjected to TCDD exposure, they manifested significant cellular disruptions. This was evidenced by compromised membrane integrity, a marked reduction in antioxidant defense mechanisms, and a surge in the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, a recognized marker for oxidative stress. On the genomic front, increased 8-OH-dG levels and chromosomal aberration (CA) frequency suggested that TCDD had the potential to cause DNA damage. Notably, our experiments have revealed that boron compounds could act as protective agents against these disruptions. They exhibited a pronounced ability to diminish the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and oxidative stress outcomes instigated by TCDD. Thus, our findings shed light on the promising role of boron compounds. In specific dosages, they may not only counteract the detrimental effects of TCDD but also serve as potential chemopreventive agents, safeguarding the cellular and genomic integrity of PBMCs.

Abstract
Simple Summary Accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has opened up new perspectives in increasing cancer treatment efficacy, including malignant brain tumors and particularly glioblastoma. We studied dosimetry control optimization, neutron beam parameter adjustment, and two boron compound combinations (along with single and double irradiation regimens) to assess safety and increase therapy efficacy, using a U87MG xenotransplant immunodeficient mouse model. In two sets of experiments, we achieved increases in tumor-growth inhibition (to 80–83%), a neutron capture therapy ratio of 2:1 (two times higher neutron capture therapy efficacy than neutron irradiation without boron), and increases in animal life expectancy, from 9 to 107 days, by treatment parameter adjustment. These results will contribute to the development of clinical-trial protocols for accelerator-based BNCT and further innovations in this cancer treatment method. Abstract (1) Background: Developments in accelerator-based neutron sources moved boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) to the next phase, where new neutron radiation parameters had to be studied for the treatment of cancers, including brain tumors. We aimed to further improve accelerator-BNCT efficacy by optimizing dosimetry control, beam parameters, and combinations of boronophenylalanine (BPA) and sodium borocaptate (BSH) administration in U87MG xenograft-bearing immunodeficient mice with two different tumor locations. (2) Methods: The study included two sets of experiments. In Experiment #1, BPA only and single or double irradiation in higher doses were used, while, in Experiment #2, BPA and BSH combinations and single or double irradiation with dosage adjustment were analyzed. Mice without treatment or irradiation after BPA or BPA+BSH injection were used as controls. (3) Results: Irradiation parameter adjustment and BPA and BSH combination led to 80–83% tumor-growth inhibition index scores, irradiation:BNCT ratios of 1:2, and increases in animal life expectancy from 9 to 107 days. (4) Conclusions: Adjustments in dosimetry control, calculation of irradiation doses, and combined use of two 10B compounds allowed for BNCT optimization that will be useful in the development of clinical-trial protocols for accelerator-based BNCT.

Abstract
The development of new accelerators has given a new impetus to the development of new drugs and treatment technologies using boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). We analyzed the current status and future directions of BNCT for cancer treatment, as well as the main issues related to its introduction. This review highlights the principles of BNCT and the key milestones in its development: new boron delivery drugs and different types of charged particle accelerators are described; several important aspects of BNCT implementation are discussed. BCNT could be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and it is evaluated in light of the outlined issues. For the speedy implementation of BCNT in medical practice, it is necessary to develop more selective boron delivery agents and to generate an epithermal neutron beam with definite characteristics. Pharmacological companies and research laboratories should have access to accelerators for large-scale screening of new, more specific boron delivery agents.

Abstract
Environmental limitations influence food production and distribution, adding up to global problems like world hunger. Conditions caused by climate change require global efforts to be improved, but others like soil degradation demand local management. For many years, saline soils were not a problem; indeed, natural salinity shaped different biomes around the world. However, overall saline soils present adverse conditions for plant growth, which then translate into limitations for agriculture. Shortage on the surface of productive land, either due to depletion of arable land or to soil degradation, represents a threat to the growing worldwide population. Hence, the need to use degraded land leads scientists to think of recovery alternatives. In the case of salt-affected soils (naturally occurring or human-made), which are traditionally washed or amended with calcium salts, bio-reclamation via microbiome presents itself as an innovative and environmentally friendly option. Due to their low pathogenicity, endurance to adverse environmental conditions, and production of a wide variety of secondary metabolic compounds, members of the genus Streptomyces are good candidates for bio-reclamation of salt-affected soils. Thus, plant growth promotion and soil bioremediation strategies combine to overcome biotic and abiotic stressors, providing green management options for agriculture in the near future.

Abstract
Realization of molecular quantum cellular automata (QCA), a promising architecture for molecular computing through current-free processes, requires improved understanding and application of mixed-valence (MV) molecules. In this report, we present an electrostatic approach to creating MV subspecies through internalizing opposite charges in close proximity to MV ionic moieties. This approach is demonstrated by unsymmetrically attaching a charge-responsive boron substituent to a well-known organometallic MV complex, biferrocenium. Guest anions (CN- and F- ) bind to the Lewis acidic boron center, leading to unusual blue-shifts of the intervalence charge-transfer (IVCT) bands. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported example of a zwitterionic MV series in which the degree of positive charge delocalization can be varied by changing the bound anions, and serves to clarify the interplay between IVCT parameters. The key underlying factor is the variable zero-level energy difference in the MV states. This work provides new insight into imbuing MV molecules with external charge-responsiveness, a prerequisite of molecular QCA techniques.

Abstract
Metal hydride catalyzed hydrocarbonation reactions of alkenes are an efficient approach to construct new carbon-carbon bonds from readily available alkenes. However, the regioselectivity of hydrocarbonation remains challenging to be controlled. In nickel hydride (NiH) catalyzed hydrocarbonation, linear selectivity is most often obtained because of the relative stability of the linear Ni-alkyl intermediate over its branched counterpart. Herein, we show that the boronic pinacol ester (Bpin) group directs a Ni-catalyzed hydrocarbonation to occur at its adjacent carbon center, resulting in formal branch selectivity. Both alkyl and aryl halides can be used as electrophiles in this hydrocarbonation, providing access to a wide range of secondary alkyl Bpin derivatives, which are valuable building blocks in synthetic chemistry. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the late-stage functionalization of natural products and drug molecules, the synthesis of an anticancer agent, and iterative syntheses.

Abstract
Although the development and application of a BNHx -waste recycling process is one of the major prerequisites for the use of ammonia borane as hydrogen source material, most research groups in the field have focused on AB hydrogen release and only few groups have worked on the development of energetically viable recycling schemes. In our work we target the development of a closed recycling process containing three desired steps: superacid break-up of the BNHx -waste, catalytic hydrodehalogenation of the generated boron halide, and base-exchange between Et3 NBH3 and ammonia. Catalytic hydrodehalogenation provides a convenient means to generate B-H bonds using molecular hydrogen, avoiding potentially energetically expensive reduction reagents.

Abstract
We report the isolation and detailed structural characterization, by solid-state and solution NMR spectroscopy, of the neutral mono- and bis-NHC adducts of bis(catecholato)diboron (B2 cat2 ). The bis-NHC adduct undergoes thermally induced rearrangement, forming a six-membered -B-C=N-C=C-N-heterocyclic ring via C-N bond cleavage and ring expansion of the NHC, whereas the mono-NHC adduct is stable. Bis(neopentylglycolato)diboron (B2 neop2 ) is much more reactive than B2 cat2 giving a ring expanded product at room temperature, demonstrating that ring expansion of NHCs can be a very facile process with significant implications for their use in catalysis.

Abstract
Boron ate complexes derived from thienyl and furyl boronic esters and aryllithium compounds have been isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Products and mechanisms of their reactions with carbenium and iminium ions have been analyzed. Kinetics of these reactions were monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy, and the influence of the aryl substituents, the diol ligands (pinacol, ethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, catechol), and the counterions on the nucleophilic reactivity of the boron ate complexes were examined. A Hammett correlation confirmed the polar nature of their reactions with benzhydrylium ions, and the correlation lg k(20 °C)=sN (E+N) was employed to determine the nucleophilicities of the boron ate complexes and to compare them with those of other borates and boronates. The neopentyl and ethylene glycol derivatives were found to be 10(4) times more reactive than the pinacol and catechol derivatives.
