A frustrated-Lewis-pair approach to catalytic reduction of alkynes to cis-alkenes [PDF]
, 2013 Frustrated Lewis pairs are compounds containing both Lewis acidic and Lewis basic moieties, where the formation of an adduct is prevented by steric hindrance.

The Far Side of Carboranes: Anticancer Active Monocations and Ambiently Stable Dications
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This work describes the synthesis of bench‐stable dicationic carboranes. Their enhanced electrophilicity is documented by opening the clusters with weak nucleophiles or dihydrogen. The surprising stability of positively charged carboranes in water enabled a study of their in vitro antiproliferative activity, which surpassed the effects of doxorubicin ...

Bis(silylene)‐Mediated N═N Bond Scission of Diazo Compounds
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The carborane‐based bis(silylene) enables unprecedented N═N bond scission in diazodiarylmethanes. While xanthene‐ and aniline‐based scaffolds promote end‐on addition with partial N═N activation, the carborane‐based variant uniquely achieves complete N═N bond scission of Ar2C═N═N compounds, resulting in isolable disilicon nitride imino species.

B-Methylated Amine-Boranes:Substituent Redistribution, Catalytic Dehydrogenation, and Facile Metal-Free Hydrogen Transfer Reactions [PDF]
, 2015 Although the dehydrogenation chemistry of amine-boranes substituted at nitrogen has attracted considerable attention, much less is known about the reactivity of their B-substituted analogues. When the B-methylated amine-borane adducts, RR′NH·BH2Me (1a: R

Sub-2 cm/s passivation of silicon surfaces by aprotic solutions [PDF]
, 2020 Minimizing recombination at semiconductor surfaces is required for the accurate determination of the bulk carrier lifetime. Proton donors, such as hydrofluoric acid and superacids, are well known to provide highly effective short-term surface passivation.
