3DGN and MOF-derived metal oxide composites as free-standing electrodes for supercapacitors have been reported for the first time which exhibit a high specific capacitance, good rate capability and excellent long cycle stability.

Naphtho[b]-fused BODIPYs have been facilely synthesized via Suzuki-Miyaura-Knoevenagel reaction between mono-iodo-BODIPY or 2,6-diiodo-BODIPY with (2-formylphenyl)boronic acid. This one-pot reaction represents a very straightforward approach for tuning the absorption and emission of BODIPYs in the red visible/NIR range.

B- and N-embedded color-tunable phosphorescent iridium complexes and B–N Lewis adducts with intriguing structural and optical changes.
