<div>The isolation and reactivities of two pentacoordinated phosphorus–tetracoordinated boron bonded compounds were</div><div>explored. A strong Lewis acidic boron reagent and electron-withdrawing ligand system were required to form the</div><div>pentacoordinated phosphorus state of the P–B bond. The first compound, a phosphoranyl-trihydroborate, gave a THF</div><div>stabilised phosphoranyl-borane intermediate upon a single hydride abstraction in THF. This compound could undergo a</div><div>unique rearrangement reaction, that involved a two-fold ring expansion, to give an unusual fused bicyclic compound or it</div><div>could act as a mono-hydroboration reagent. The hydroboration reactivity of the intermediate was found to be more reactive</div><div>towards alkynes over alkenes with good to moderate regioselectivity towards the terminal carbon. The second compound,</div><div>a phosphoranyl-triarylborate, was found to have a vastly different reactivity to the trihydroborate as it was highly stable</div><div>towards acids and bases. This is thought to be due to the large bulk around the P–B bond as shown in the crystal structure</div>

AbstractNanographenes are emerging as a distinctive class of functional materials for electronic and optical devices. It is of remarkable significance to enrich the precise synthetic chemistry for these molecules. Herein, we develop a facile strategy to recompose helicenes into chiral nanographenes through a unique oxidative cyclo-rearrangement reaction. Helicenes with 7~9 ortho-fused aromatic rings are firstly oxidized and cyclized, and subsequently rearranged into nanographenes with an unsymmetrical helicoid shape through sequential 1,2-migrations. Such skeletal reconstruction is virtually driven by the gradual release of the strain of the highly distorted helicene skeleton. Importantly, the chirality of the helicene precursor can be integrally inherited by the resulting nanographene. Thus, a series of chiral nanographenes are prepared from a variety of carbohelicenes and heterohelicenes. Moreover, such cyclo-rearrangement reaction can be sequentially or simultaneously associated with conventional oxidative cyclization reactions to ulteriorly enrich the geometry diversity of nanographenes, aiming at innovative properties.

The rearrangement reaction of ammonium ylides furnishes valuable α,α-disubstituted amino esters. In this work, we describe the visible-light photolysis reaction of aryldiazoacetates in the presence of tertiary amines that react via a free ammonium ylide in a sigmatropic rearrangement reaction to provide amino esters in moderate to very good yields (33 examples, up to 97% yield).

1,1-Diphenylethylene, 1,1-di-p-tolylethylene, 1,1-di-p-anisylethylene and 1,1-di(p-t-butylphenyl)-ethylene are converted in high yields (80- 90%) into the corresponding 3,3,6,6-tetraaryl-1,2-dioxans in the presence of oxygen and catalytic amounts of antimony(v) chloride in dichloromethane at -40° to -78° under irradiation from a tungsten lamp.

The nucleation and amorphization of radiation-induced (G) and radiation-enhanced (η) phases in a silicon- and titanium-modified austenitic stainless steel have been studied under nickel-ion irradiation. These silicon- and nickel-enriched phases form under high-temperature (950 K) irradiation as the result of radiation-induced segregation to radiation-produced interstitial dislocation loops. Availability of carbon promotes the formation of η phase relative to G phase. Under lower temperature (450 K) irradiation, G and η phases are amorphized without significant change in composition of metallic elements. Two carbide phases (MC, M23C6) remain crystalline for the same irradiation conditions. The amorphization of the silicides may result from (1) radiation damage increasing their free energy above that of the amorphous state or (2) direct formation of the amorphous phase in the damage cascade.
