High energy density dihydroazaborinine dyads and triad for molecular solar thermal energy storage

Chem. Sci., 2025, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D5SC03159A, Edge Article Sonja M. Biebl, Robert C. Richter, Markus Ströbele, Ivana Fleischer, Holger F. Bettinger The reversible photoisomerization of 1,2-dihydro-1,2-azaborinines (BN benzenes) to their Dewar isomers (2-aza-3-borabicyclo[2.2.0]hex-5-enes) provides a promising platform for molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy conversion, storage, and release.
