  2. The dynamic photoluminescence properties, and potential quenching mechanisms, ofanti-B18H22, 4,4′-Br2-anti-B18H20, and 4,4′-I2-anti-B18H20are investigated in solution and polymer films.

    Abstract This work describes select narratives pertaining to undergraduate teaching and mentorship at UCLA Chemistry and Biochemistry by Alex Spokoyny and his junior colleagues. Specifically, we discuss how individual undergraduate researchers contributed and jump-started multiple research themes since the conception of our research laboratory. This work also describes several recent innovations in the inorganic and general chemistry courses taught by Spokoyny at UCLA with a focus of nurturing appreciation for research and creative process in sciences including the use of social media platforms.

    Bromination of the luminescent borane, anti -B 18 H 22 , via electrophilic substitution using AlCl 3 and Br 2 , yields the monosubstituted derivative 4-Br- anti -B 18 H 21 as an air-stable crystalline solid. In contrast to the unsubstituted parent compound, 4-Br- anti -B 18 H 21 possesses dual emission upon excitation with UV light and exhibits fluorescence at 410 nm and phosphorescence at 503 nm, with Φ total = 0.07 in oxygen-free cyclohexane. Increased oxygen content in cyclohexane solution quenches the phosphorescence signal. The fluorescent signal intensity remains unaffected by oxygen, suggesting that this molecule could be used as a ratiometric oxygen probe.
