根據過去Theodor Agapie團隊32及Yamamoto團隊33的研究成果，我們設計出了一款能藉由N-B配位協助進行π堆積相互作用力的化合物，但在合成過程中，我們發現了意料之外的脫硼現象，因此，我們決定修改以吡啶當作底物的化合物，將之換成苯環結構，並在之後針對所合成出的化合物進行單晶繞射分析，雖然缺少了N-B配位的幫助，沒辦法提供較好的共平面結構，但結果是好的，該化合物的硼酸部分朝向是與芘同方向的，這對未來將其運用到與芳香環類化合物這類化合物結合時能產生π堆積相互作用力。

Drawing on the research from Theodor Agapie's 32and Yohsuke Yamamoto's 33groups, we aimed to design a compound that could facilitate π-stacking interactions through N-B coordination. However, during the synthesis process, we encountered an unexpected deboronation phenomenon. This led us to modify the original design that used pyridine as the substrate, replacing it with a benzene ring structure. Subsequent single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the newly synthesized compound revealed that although it lacked the N-B coordination which might have offered a better coplanar structure, the results were positive. The orientation of the boronic acid part was aligned with the pyrene, which is advantageous for inducing π-stacking interactions when interacting with aromatic ring compounds in future applications.
This modification not only addressed the deboronation issue but also preserved the compound's potential for effective π-π interactions, which are crucial for the intended applications in sensing and interaction with aromatic compounds.
