Formation of environmentally stable hole-doped graphene films with instantaneous and high-density carrier doping via a boron-based oxidant
Large-area graphene films have substantial potential for use as next-generation electrodes because of their good chemical stability, high flexibility, excellent carrier mobility, and lightweight structure. However, various issues remain unsolved. In particular, high-density carrier doping within a short time by a simple method, and air stability of doped graphene films, are highly desirable. Here, we demonstrate a solution-based high-density (>10(14) cm(-2) ) hole doping approach that promises to push the performance limit of graphene films. The reaction of graphene films with a tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate salt, containing a two-coordinate boron cation, achieves doping within an extremely short time (4 s), and the doped graphene films are air stable for at least 31 days. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals that the graphene films are covered by the chemically stable anions, resulting in an improved stability in air. Moreover, the doping reduces the transmittance by only 0.44 +/- 0.23%. The simplicity of the doping process offers a viable route to the large-scale production of functional graphene electrodes.. |

Chemical hole doping into large-area transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers using boron-based oxidant
Hole carrier doping into single-crystalline transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) films can be achieved with various chemical reagents. However, large-area polycrystalline TMDC monolayers produced by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth method have yet to be chemically doped. Here, we report that a salt of a two-coordinate boron cation, Mes(2)B(+) (Mes: 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl group), with a chemically stable tetrakis( pentafluorophenyl) borate anion, [(C6F5)(4)B](-), can serve as an efficient hole-doping reagent for large-area CVD-grown tungsten diselenide (WSe2) films. Upon doping, the sheet resistance of large-area polycrystalline WSe2 monolayers decreased from 90 G Omega/sq to 3.2 k Omega/sq. (C) 2018 The Japan Society of Applied Physics. |

KGaA, Weinheim Borinium ions, that is, two-coordinate boron cations, are the most electron-deficient isolable boron compounds. As borinium ions have only four formal valence electrons on boron, they should show a strong tendency to accept electron pairs on the boron atom to fill its valence shell. Thus chemical reactions of borinium ions are expected to give products in which the coordination number of boron is increased from two to three or four. However, contrary to this expectation, we found that the dimesitylborinium ion (Mes2B+) undergoes twofold 1,2-carboboration reactions with two equivalents of diphenylacetylene to yield an unprecedented borinium ion (1+) with two substituted vinyl groups on the boron center. NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis of 1+, together with electronic-structure calculations, revealed that the positive charge is delocalized over the entire π-conjugated system. The fact that the chemical transformation of a borinium ion gives rise to a different borinium ion without a change in the coordination number is remarkable and should provide new insight into the chemistry of the Group 13 elements.. |

Highly air- and moisture-stable hole-doped carbon nanotube films achieved using boron-based oxidant
Hole doping into carbon nanotubes can be achieved. However, the doped nanotubes usually suffer from the lack of air and moisture stability, thus, they eventually lose their improved electrical properties. Here, we report that a salt of the two-coordinate boron cation Mes2B+(Mes: 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl group) can serve as an efficient hole-doping reagent to produce nanotubes with markedly high stability in the presence of air and moisture. Upon doping, the resistances of the nanotubes decreased, and these states were maintained for one month in air. The hole-doped nanotube films showed a minimal increase in resistance even upon humidification with a relative humidity of 90%.. |

A two-coordinate boron cation featuring C-B + -C bonding
Two-coordinate boron cations (R 2 B +), referred to as borinium ions, are chemical species in which the boron bears only four valence electrons, and that are isoelectronic with hypothetical carbon dications (R 2 C 2+). Although lone-pair-donating substituents such as amino groups have enabled the isolation of several borinium ions, diarylated and dialkylated borinium derivatives remain entirely unexplored. Here, we present the synthesis, structure and reactivity of the dimesitylborinium ion, which displays unexpectedly high thermal stability. X-ray crystallography and 11 B NMR spectroscopy, supported by density functional theory calculations, reveal that the borinium ion adopts a linear two-coordinate structure in both the solid state and in solution. The boron centre is stabilized by p € bonding from the mesityl groups and is free from coordination by the counterion or solvent molecules. This diarylborinium ion possesses exceptional Lewis acidity, accepting a pair of electrons from CO 2 to cause an unusual deoxygenation reaction. © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited.. |
