Homoleptic and Heteroleptic Borylones L1‐B(Ph)‐L2

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Density functional theory and CCSD(T) calculations reveal that homoleptic and heteroleptic borylones L1–B(Ph)–L2 are thermodynamically accessible. Remarkably, the homoleptic borylones B(Ph)(N2)2 and B(Ph)(SPh2)2 exhibit higher bond dissociation energies than the related carbones.

Breastfeeding and concentrations of HCB and p,p′-DDE at the age of 1 year

open access: yesEnvironmental Research, 2005
Exposure to organochlorine compounds (OCs) occurs both in utero and through breastfeeding. Levels of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in the cord serum of newborns from a population located in the vicinity of an electrochemical factory in Spain are among the highest ever reported. We aimed to assess the degree of breast milk contamination in this population and
