Tuning of (chir)optical properties for axially chiral isoquinoline-derived boramidines. Bathochromic shift in absorption and emission with quantum yields up to 70% in N₂-saturated solutions, relatively long fluorescence life-times (37 ns), and subsequent cyan and green circularly polarized luminescence with |glum| values up to ∼2 × 10⁻³.

A simple method for electrochemical allylic oxidation of olefins is established. t-Butyl hydroperoxide serves in a dual-role as mediator and oxygen source. Metal-free and robust electrode materials such as glassy carbon, graphite, or boron-doped diamond can be employed. Only small concentrations of NaBF₄ are required as supporting electrolyte.

Proteins are intrinsically flexible and thus require an ensemble description. In abstract conformer space, ensemble diversity is easier to assess and the required ensemble size can be established.
