Boron, the fifth element in the period table, exhibits diverse bonding patterns and interesting structures due to its electron deficiency. Unlike its neighbor carbon, closed-packed boron sheet with graphene-like honeycomb lattice is unstable so that planar boron clusters usually have interior vacancies and corrugated appearance. Delocalized multi-center bonding has an important role to stabilize the 2D structures, giving rise to the concept of σ, π, …multiple aromaticity. The experimental observation of the B₃₆⁻ cluster in 2014 established the viability of boron monolayer which was named as “borophene” by Wang and Li. Recently, studies on planar CoB₁₈⁻ and RhB₁₈⁻ clusters have suggested the possibilities of metal-doped borophenes (metallo-borophenes) with potentially tunable electronic, magnetic and optical properties. In this review, we summarize recent experimental and theoretical advances in 2D pure-boron and metal-doped boron clusters, as well as their implications for borophenes and metalloborophenes as novel new boron materials.25:T459,

Nitroimidazoles are a class of structurally special heterocycles. The combination of five-membered aromatic heterocyclic imidazole and nitro group makes their derivatives to possess a wide variety of potential applications, and relevant researches of nitroimidazoles as drugs, artificial diagnostics, pathological probes and so on are quite active. In particular, nitroimidazoles as artificially synthetic chemical drugs have been widely used in the clinic for anticancers, antimicrobials, antiparasites etc.. Combining with our work and literatures in recent years, this work systematically reviewed the current researches and applications of nitroimidazole compounds in medicinal chemistry including antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antitubercular, antihypertensive drugs as well as artificial diagnostics and pathological probes, supramolecular blocks. The foreseeable development trends were also prospected. This comprehensive review may provide a beneficial guide in the development of nitroimidazole heterocyclic compounds for multipurpose applications.
