Cocrystallisation of ortho-metaand para-carboranes with hmpa (hexamethylphosphoramide) results in the isolation of 1 : 1 carborane:hmpa adducts which provide the first definitive X-ray structures of the unsubstituted carboranes as part of three very different C-H-0 hydrogen-bonded supramolecular structures.
A bis(bora)calixarene 3, the first lower-rim boron derivatised calixarene to be structurally characterised, is synthesised by the reaction of PhBCl2 with 4-tert-butylcalix[4]arene, and is demonstrated to be a sensitive and selective fluorescent fluoride sensor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
