Understanding the Behavior of Halogens as Hydrogen Bond Acceptors
TL;DR: In this article, the similarities and differences between the behavior of carbon-bound and terminal metal-bound halogens and halide ions as potential hydrogen bond acceptors have been extensively investigated through examination of many thousands of interactions present in crystal structures.

Hydrodefluorination of Perfluoroalkyl Groups Using Silylium-Carborane Catalysts
Christos Douvris,Oleg V. Ozerov +1 more
TL;DR: A class of carborane-supported, highly electrophilic silylium compounds are reported that act as long-lived catalysts for hydrodefluorination of trifluoromethyl and nonafluorobutyl groups by widely accessible silanes under mild conditions.

The myth of the non-coordinating anion
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemistry of anhydrous complexes such as those formed by the perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, and nitrate ions was examined, and the authors showed that perchlorates can be formed by tetraplastic compounds.

Arylsilsesquioxane gels and related materials. New hybrids of organic and inorganic networks
Kenneth J. Shea,Kenneth J. Shea,Douglas A. Loy,Douglas A. Loy,Owen W. Webster,Owen W. Webster +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fine-grained aggregate characteristics of phenyl-bridged polysilsesquioxane were examined using atomic force microscopy, where the gels were glasslike materials composed of uniform aggregate of particles between 50 and 80 nm in diameter.
