General description

Boric acid is a weak monobasic Lewis acid (electron pair acceptor), which finds application in the areas of glass making, fire retardant, lubrication agent, buffer, neutron absorber, and adjuvant/excipient in pharmaceutical formulations.

Application

Boric acid can be used as:
  • A catalyst to synthesize poly(δ-valerolactone) via bulk-ring opening polymerization.
  • A ligand to synthesize metal-organic frameworks.
  • A reagent in the preparation of borate buffer.
  • A crosslinker to electrospun dextran nanofibers.

Building plasmonic nanostructures using biomolecules as scaffolds has shown great potential for attaining tunable light absorption and emission via precise spatial organization of optical species and antennae. Here we report bottom-up assembly of hierarchical plasmonic nanostructures using DNA origami templates
