The Lewis acid–base interaction and cooperative C-H⋯O weak hydrogen bonding have been widely suggested as two key factors in the solubility of CO2 -philic materials. In this work, both ab initio and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to investigate the properties of the two important interactions between CO2 and several common organic molecules. Binding energies, geometries and charge transfer were calculated by ab initio method, showing that the mutual enhancement between the two sorts of interactions plays an important role in the stability of the CO2 complexes. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to investigate the effect of many-body interactions in real solutions. The results show that the many-body interactions also have a significant impact on the energetic and geometric properties of the CO2 complexes. Moreover, the self-aggregation of strong polar molecules will greatly weaken the effective Lewis acid–base interaction due to the zone overlapping, which needs to be taken into account in the design of future CO2 -philes.

This personal account summarizes our recent progress in the development of C–H transformations. We achieved ortho-selective C–H borylations and silylations by using Lewis acid–base interaction between two substrates and we achieved meta- and ortho-selective C–H borylations by using hydrogen bonding or Lewis acid–base interaction between a hydrogen donor or Lewis acid unit of a ligand and a functional group of a substrate. Regioselective C–H trifluoromethylations and related reactions of six-membered heteroaromatic compounds were realized at their 2- and 4-positions and at their benzylic positions. In addition, we developed C–H transformations directed towards the synthesis of organic functional materials, such as highly soluble polyimides or π-conjugated molecules containing either heteroatom(s) or a Lewis acid–base interaction.1 Introduction2 Regioselective C–H Transformations Controlled by Noncovalent Bond Interactions2.1 Regioselective C–H Transformations Controlled by Lewis Acid–Base Interaction between Two Substrates2.2 Regioselective C–H Transformation Controlled by Hydrogen Bonding between Ligand and Substrate2.3 Regioselective C–H Transformations Controlled by Lewis Acid–Base Interactions between Ligands and Substrates3 Trifluoromethylation and Related Transformations of Six-Membered Heteroaromatic Compounds3.1 2-Position-Selective C–H Trifluoromethylation of Six-Membered Heteroaromatic Compounds3.2 4-Position-Selective C–H Trifluoromethylation of Six-Membered Heteroaromatic Compounds3.3 Benzyl Position-Selective C–H Trifluoromethylation of Six-Membered Heteroaromatic Compounds4 C–H Transformations Leading to the Synthesis of Organic Functional Materials4.1 Heteroatom-Containing π-Conjugated Molecules4.2 π-Conjugated Molecules Containing a Lewis Acid–Base Interaction4.3 Soluble Polyimide Derivatives5 Conclusions

The Lewis acid-base interaction between B(iii) Lewis acids and the pyridazine moiety reduced the electron density from the Ni center and in situ modulated the pyridazine-imine nickel catalyzed ethylene (co)polymerisation.

A non-polymer crystalline organoboron electrolyte results in the formation of nano-channels for directional conduction of Li ions, owing to presence of boron, allowing Lewis acid–base interaction.
