Abstract: Boronic acids are Lewis acids that exist in equilibrium with boronate forms in aqueous solution. Here we experimentally and computationally investigated the Lewis acidity of 2,6‐diarylphenylboronic acids specially designed phenylboronic acids that possess two flanking aromatic rings with tunable aromatic character. Hammett analysis of 2,6‐diarylphenylboronic acids reveals that their Lewis acidity remains unchanged upon the introduction of EWG/EDG at the distant para position of the flanking aromatic rings. Structural and computational studies demonstrate that polar‐π interactions and solvation effects contribute to the stabilization of boronic acids and boronate forms by aromatic rings. Our physical‐organic chemistry work highlights that boronic acids and boronates can be stabilized by aromatic systems, leading to an important molecular knowledge for rational design and development of boronic acid‐based catalysts and inhibitors of biomedically important proteins.

Abstract: We aimed to quantify the delayed effects of flows on aquatic ecosystems using 33 years of monitoring data on macroinvertebrates and water quality and 51 years of hydrological data, spanning 2,300 km of the Murray River, Australia. By incorporating the delayed effects of hydrological indices, along with physicochemical variables, into generalized additive models to form distributed lag nonlinear models for macroinvertebrate richness and abundance, we found that the effects of floods on macroinvertebrates could last up to 32 years, depending on their magnitude. The models indicated that a large flood can cause an initial depression in macroinvertebrate abundance and richness, followed by a sustained increase persisting for over 25 years before returning to preflood levels. Twelve hydrological indices representing the magnitude of flow events were evaluated, with the q90/med (the 6‐monthly flow exceeded 10% of time, ided by the long‐term median) performing (slightly) better than other indices. Competing hypotheses for the mechanisms underlying the apparent long‐term effect of floods were considered, with the most plausible explanation being the flood‐mediated influx of allochthonous organic matter, especially coarse and large woody debris, that might drive the persistent change in the aquatic community. It is generally believed that macroinvertebrate communities recover quickly after floods, but our findings suggest that we may need to reconceptualize the effects that floods can have on aquatic macroinvertebrates and the communities they support, especially in the context of flow restoration and climate change.
