Abstract
Boron-doped helicenes, known for their unique electronic and photophysical properties, are of great interest for numerous applications. This research introduces two new azabora[6]helicenes, H[6]BN1 and H[6]BN2, synthesized through an efficient method. These molecules have boron and nitrogen atoms in opposing positions, enhancing their distinctive attributes. Both helicenes show excellent emission properties, with H[6]BN1 and H[6]BN2 exhibiting narrowband blue fluorescence and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), achieving glum values of 4~5×10-4 which is beneficial for chiroptical applications. The addition of a donor group, 3, 6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazole, in H[6]BN2 improves luminescence, likely due to enhanced molecular orbital overlap and electron delocalization. H[6]BN1's needle-like single crystals exhibit mechanochromism, changing luminescent color from yellow to green under mechanical stress, which is promising for stimulus-responsive materials. In conclusion, this study presents a novel class of BN[6]helicenes with superior chiroptical properties. Their combination of electronic features and mechanochromism makes them ideal for advanced chiroptical materials, expanding the potential of helicene-based compounds and offering new directions for the synthesis of molecules with specific chiroptical characteristics.

Achieving efficient and stable blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence organic light-emitting diodes based on four-coordinate fluoroboron emitters by simple substitution molecular engineering. Chem Sci 2024; 15:12606-12615. [PMID: 39118634 PMCID: PMC11304800 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc06989c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Achieving both high efficiency and high stability in blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence organic light-emitting diodes (TADF-OLEDs) is challenging for practical displays and lighting. Here, we have successfully developed a series of sky-blue to pure-blue emitting donor-acceptor (D-A) type TADF materials featuring a four-coordinated boron with 2,2'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)diphenolate (dppy) ligands, i.e.1-8. Synergistic engineering of substituents on the phenyl bridge as well as the electronic properties and the attached positions of heteroatom N-donors not only enables fine-tuning of the emission colors, but also modulates the nature and energies of their triplet excited states that are important for the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). Particularly for the compound with two methyl substituents on the phenyl bridge (compound 8), RISC is significantly facilitated through the vibronic coupling of the energetically close-lying triplet charge transfer (3CT) and the triplet local excited (3LE) states, when compared to analogue 7. Efficient sky-blue to pure-blue OLEDs with electroluminescence peaks (λ EL) at 460-492 nm have been obtained, in which ca. five-fold higher external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of 18.9% have been demonstrated by 8 than that by 7. Moreover, ca. thirty times longer device operational half-lifetimes (LT50) of 9113 hours for 8 than that for 7 as well as satisfactory LT50 reaching 26 643 hours for 6 at an initial luminance of 100 cd m-2 have also been demonstrated. To the best of our knowledge, these results represent one of the best high-performance blue OLEDs based on tetracoordinated boron TADF emitters. Moreover, the design strategy presented here has provided an attractive strategy for enhancing the device performance of blue TADF-OLEDs.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers with integrating properties of delayed fluorescence and photovoltaic responses simultaneously are scarcely reported due to the generally contradictory requirements for molecular structures to achieve the two properties. Herein, an O-B(F)←N functionalized fused unit (M) with multiple resonance features, small energy gap between lowest singlet excited state (S1) and triplet excited state (T1) (ΔEST = 0.23 eV), and delayed fluorescence (τD = 0.75 µs), is designed. Selecting three benzodithiophene (BDT) derivatives as co-units to copolymerize with M, leading to a series of O-B(F)←N embedded polymers also maintaining delayed fluorescence (τD = 0.4-0.5 µs). Moreover, p-type semiconductor characteristics are tested for these polymers with hole mobilities in the range of 10-6-10-5 cm2/Vs. Devices with obviously photovoltaic responses are prepared using these polymers as donors and Y6 as the acceptor, affording a preliminary efficiency of 5.05%. This work successfully demonstrates an effective strategy to design conjugated polymers with integrating properties of delayed fluorescence and photovoltaic performance simultaneously by introducing O-B(F)←N functional groups to polymer backbones.

Near-IR Emissive B-N Lewis Pair-Functionalized Anthracenes via Selective LUMO Extension in Conjugated Dimer and Polymer. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024:e202411855. [PMID: 38976519 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202411855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
Acenes are attractive as building blocks for low gap organic materials with applications, for example, in organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, bioimaging and diagnostics. Previously, we have shown that modification of dipyridylanthracene via B-N Lewis pair fusion (BDPA) strongly redshifts the emission, while facilitating self-sensitized reactivity toward O2 to reversibly generate the corresponding endoperoxides. Herein, we report on the further expansion of the π-system of BDPA to a vinyl-substituted monomer, vinylene-bridged dimer, and a polymer with an average of 20 chromophores. The extension of π-conjugation results in largely reduced band gaps of 1.8 eV for the dimer and 1.7 eV for the polymer, the latter giving rise to NIR emission with a maximum at 731 nm and an appreciable quantum yield of 7 %. Electrochemical and computational studies reveal efficient delocalization of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) along the pyridyl-anthracene-pyridyl axis, which results in effective electronic communication between BDPA units, selectively lowers the LUMO, and ultimately narrows the band gap. Time-resolved emission and transient absorption (TA) measurements offer insights into the pertinent photophysical processes. Extension of π-conjugation also slows down the self-sensitized formation of endoperoxides, while significantly accelerating the thermal release of singlet oxygen to regenerate the parent acenes.

Abstract
Two series of boron derivatives with propiolamidinato ligands, [BPh2{C(C≡CAr)(NR)2}] (Ar = Ph, p-MeOPh, p-FPh, p-Me2NPh, or phen; R = iPr or p-tolyl), were synthesized and structurally characterized. The corresponding propiolamidine (or propargylamidine) proligands have been obtained through sustainable methods. One is the catalytic hydroalkynylation of diisopropylcarbodiimide with different terminal alkynes, using simple ZnEt2 as a precatalyst. Alternatively, to obtain propiolamidines with aromatic groups on the nitrogen atoms, the formation of lithiated derivatives of terminal alkynes by reaction with n-BuLi in air and at room temperature, and subsequent addition to the di-p-tolylcarbodiimide, under the same conditions and using 2-MeTHF as a sustainable solvent, has been used for the first time. After reaction with BPh3, the corresponding boron amidinates were obtained, which are emissive in the solution state. The influence of the different substituents introduced into the ligands on the photophysical properties of the boron compounds has been studied. One of the obtained compounds can be used as a ratiometric fluorescent pH sensor in the acidic range.

Abstract
The inclusion of boron atoms into chiral π-conjugated systems is an effective strategy to unlock unique chiroptical properties. Herein, the preparation and characterization of a configurationally stable axially-chiral boramidine are reported, showcasing absorption in the UV domain, deep-blue fluorescence (Φ up to 94%), and ca. |10-3| gabs and glum values. Detailed photophysical studies and quantum-chemical calculations clearly elucidate the deactivation pathways of the emissive state to triplet excited states, involving increased spin-orbit coupling between the lowest singlet excited state and an upper triplet state.

Abstract
The borylation of aryl substituted pyridines is an effective way of preparing B-N doped conjugated organic frameworks. Trihaloborane Lewis acids are often employed for this protocol, and may require further functionalization to replace the remaining halides on boron. We report a new, fully characterized, electrophilic borylating agent, (C6F5)2B(κ2-NTf2), that smoothly incorporates a -B(C6F5)2 unit into the model substrate 2-phenylpyridine. To demonstrate its utility in preparing more complex B-N doped structures, we use it to prepare seven examples of the 6a,13a-diaza-7,14-dibora-dibenzo[a,h]pyrene framework, with substituents of varying donor properties. The structural, redox, and photophysical properties of this new family of B-N doped polycyclic hydrocarbon compounds were probed experimentally and computationally.

Abstract
Novel four-coordinated boron complexes (1-5) were synthesized via a reaction between BF3·CH3OH and benzimidazole-phenolate ligands (L1-L5), which are N,O-donors. These complexes exhibit intense blue emission in the solution and solid states accompanied by notable fluorescence quantum yields (ΦF). The study of the structure-property relation, through theoretical and experimental approaches, revealed a distinctive trend where compounds incorporating electron-donating substituents (methyl and ethoxy groups) in the phenolate moiety manifest shifts in emission wavelengths across the blue spectrum, concomitant with an increase in ΦF. Furthermore, the incorporation of an aromatic ring into the benzimidazole moiety considerably intensifies the rate of radiative relaxation from excited states. Notably, in the solid phase, either as a crystalline powder or loaded into polymer films, these modified complexes maintain or even surpass ΦF values observed in molecular solutions, ranging from 0.18 to 0.57, depending on the substitution. This characteristic makes these compounds attractive for applications in optoelectronics. All of the compounds were characterized using 1H, 13C, 11B, and 19F NMR, elemental analysis, and the molecular structures were corroborated through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Computational calculations via time-dependent density functional theory further elucidate the tunability of optical bandgaps through group substitution on ligands, aligning well with experimental observations.

Abstract
"Homoleptic" tetracoordinate boron compounds, in which the central boron atom links to four identical atoms, are a special and important family of boron compounds. During the past decades, they have been extensively employed in inorganic, organic, macromolecular, and materials chemistry. Many of them exhibit a diverse range of outstanding properties, and therefore, the synthesis and application of those compounds have emerged as a hot research topic in modern boron chemistry. This review summarizes and discusses the "homoleptic" tetracoordinate boron compounds, which are organized according to the kinds of atoms coordinated to the central boron.

Abstract
Sensing materials innovation plays a crucial role in the development of high-performance film-based fluorescent sensors (FFSs). In our current study, we present the innovative fabrication of four fluorescent nanofilms via interfacially confined dynamic reaction of a specially designed fluorescent building block, a new boron-coordinated compound (NI-CHO), with a chosen one, benzene-1,3,5-tricarbohydrazide (BTH). The nanofilms as prepared are robust, uniform, flexible, and thickness tunable, at least from 40 to 1500 nm. The fabricated FFSs based on Film 3, one of the four nanofilms, shows highly selective and fully reversible response to NH3 vapor with an experimental detection limit of <0.1 ppm and a response time of 0.2 s. The unprecedented high performance of the nanofilm is ascribed to the specific quenching of its fluorescence emission owing to formation of an excited-state complex between the sensing unit and the analyte molecule. Efficient mass transfer also contributes to the high performance owing to the porous adlayer structure of the nanofilm.

Gan Q, Xu G, Deng X, Liu M, Deng Y, Lu W, Ruan Y, Fu C, Yu Y. Self-assembly solid-state enhanced fluorescence emission of GFP chromophore analogues: Formation of microsheets and microtubes oriented by molecular skeleton. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 654:698-708. [PMID: 37866042 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.10.079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
The p-, m- and o-N,N-dimethylamino analogs of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore (denoted as p-DBHI, m-DBHI and o-DBHI) were synthesized by 2,3-cycloaddition. These three compounds were structurally characterized by NMR, HRMS and single crystal X-ray diffraction and were shown to be in the Z-form in both the solid phase and solution. Their fluorescence properties and self-assembly behaviors were investigated by UV-Vis, photoluminescence spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. They exhibited low fluorescence quantum yields in both protic and aprotic solvents, which was consistent with the reported results, and strong emissions in the solid state, thus exhibiting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behaviors. By a solvent exchange method, the p-DBHI and o-DBHI were assembled into microsheets, while the m-DBHI was assembled into microtubule-like structures. The photoluminescence properties of the assemblies were compared with those of the pristine microcrystalline powders obtained by evaporation from organic solvents. The fluorescence quantum yields of the microcrystals obtained by self-assembly were recorded to 9.86 %, 3.37 % and 31.65 %, respectively, which were much higher than those of the corresponding pristine powders (4.71 %, 2.51 % and 17.03 %). This indicated that the fluorescence properties in the solid state depended on the morphologies of the particles.

Abstract
A novel class of multiple B←N Lewis pair-functionalized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with different BR2 groups (R = Cl or Et) directly attached at positions 1, 6, and 11 of triazatruxene was synthesized. The triazatruxene backbone of 4 displays a bowl shape, and its molecular skeleton shows a highly twisted propeller-like structure with C3 symmetry. The introduction of B←N Lewis pairs not only results in a large decrease in the HOMO-LUMO gap but also lowers the LUMO to -3.00 eV. Both compounds show excellent stability with large Stokes shifts of ≤8234 cm-1 and solvatochromic emission in solvents of different polarities.

Abstract
A series of novel amidinate ligated four-coordinated boron compounds, [(Ar)-C(tBuN)2BF2] (1BF2-6BF2), were synthesised and structurally characterised (Ar = 1-phenyl, 2-naphthyl, 2-anthryl, 9-anthryl, 9-phenanthryl and 1-pyrene). The increased π-conjugation of Ar-substitution on the amidinate ligand results in dark blue-emission in compounds 3BF2-6BF2. All these compounds are emissive in the solution state. The 2-anthryl substituted compound 3BF2 was found to exhibit a maximum quantum yield of 48% in dichloromethane. Theoretical studies were carried out which validate the hypothesis about the increased π-conjugation.

Abstract
The potency of heteroatom-doping in reshaping optoelectronic properties arises from the distinct electronegativity variations between heteroatoms and carbon atoms. By incorporating two heteroatoms with differing electronegativities (e.g., B = N), not only is the architectural coherence of π-conjugated systems retained, but also dipolar traits are introduced, accompanied by unique intermolecular interactions absent in their all-carbon analogs. Another burgeoning doping strategy, featuring the heteroatom-boron-heteroatom motif (X-B-X, where X = N, O), has captured growing attention. This configuration's coexistence of the boron-heteroatom unit and an isolated heteroatom stimulates mutual modulation in the dipole of the boron-heteroatom unit and the heteroatom's electronegativity. In this Feature article, we present an encompassing survey of XBX-doped π-conjugated systems, elucidating how the integration of the X-B-X unit induces transformative structural and property changes within π-conjugated systems.

Abstract
NHC-boranes have been treated as a reliable source of boryl radicals. In this study, regioselective hydroborylation of ketene dithioacetals with NHC-borane was achieved under mild conditions via a visible-light-promoted radical chain process using thiophenol as a proton donor and hydrogen atom transfer. This protocol features a low-cost catalyst, good functional group tolerance, a relatively broad range of substrate scope, and good to excellent yields. Moreover, mechanism of this hydroborylation reaction was preliminarily studied.

Abstract
The mol-ecular and crystal structure of (E)-2-[(benzo[d]thia-zol-2-yl-imino)-meth-yl]-5-(di-ethyl-amino)-phenol (C18H19N3O2S, Et2N-Bz) and its unexpected reaction product with tri-phenyl-borane, 2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-2-borata-1,2-di-hydro-naphthalene [systematic name: N,N-diethyl-2,2-diphenyl-2H-1,3λ3,2λ4-ben-zodioxaborinin-7-amine, C23H24BNO2, (I)] are described. For Et2N-Bz, the hydroxyl group is involved in an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the imino nitro-gen atom and the C=N bond displays an E configuration. The crystal packing is characterized by layers of inversion dimers parallel to the (10) plane and chains of mol-ecule in the a-axis direction formed through C-H⋯O inter-actions. Complex (I) crystallizes with two mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, which differ in the orientation of the ethyl groups. The 1,3-dioxa-2-borata-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-naphthalene ring displays a slight envelope conformation with the boron atom as the flap. In the crystal packing, chains of alternating A and B mol-ecules formed by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds run in the b-axis direction. The UV-vis absorption and emission properties of the compounds are discussed and their aggregation-induced emission properties are further investigated.

Abstract
The C-H borylation and hydroboration reactions have emerged as promising synthetic tools to construct organoboron compounds. Organoboron compounds of N-heterocycles, particularly indole derivatives, have found widespread application in a variety of fields. As a result, considerable advancement in the area of C-H borylation and hydroboration reactions of indoles was observed in the last few decades. Among the various synthetic methods applied, the metal-free approach has received special attention. This mini-review discusses the recent progress in the area of C-H borylation and hydroboration reactions of indoles under metal-free conditions, their scope, and brief mechanistic studies.

Abstract
Tetra-coordinated organoboron (TCOB) compounds are promising candidates for developing high-performance optical devices due to their excellent optoelectronic performance. Fabricating TCOB-based nanomaterials of controlled and defined morphology through rapid and easy-to-execute protocols can significantly accelerate their practical utility in the aforesaid applications. Herein, we report water-induced self-assembly (WISA) to convert a polymorphic TCOB complex (HNBI-B, derived from a 2-(2'-hydroxy-naphthyl)-benzimidazole precursor) into two unique nanomorphologies viz. nanodiscoids (NDs) and fluorescent microtubes with hexagonal cross-sections (HMTs). Detailed electron microscopic investigations revealed that oriented assembly and fusion of the initially formed NDs yield the blue emissive HMTs (SSQY = 26.7%) that exhibited highly promising photophysical behaviour. For example, the HMTs outperformed all the crystal polymorphs of HNBI-B obtained from CHCl3, EtOAc and MeOH in emissivity and also exhibited superior waveguide behaviour, with a much lower optical loss coefficient α' = 1.692 dB mm-1 compared to the rod-shaped microcrystals of HNBI-B obtained from MeOH (α' = 1.853 dB mm-1). Thus, this work reports rapid access to high performance optical nanomaterials through WISA, opening new avenues for creating useful nanomaterial morphologies with superior optical performance.

Abstract
Three linear isoelectronic conjugated polymers PCC, PBC, and PBN are synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura polycondensation for photocatalytic hydrogen (H2 ) production from water. PBN presented an excellent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 223.5 µmol h-1 (AQY420 = 23.3%) under visible light irradiation, which is 7 times that of PBC and 31 times that of PCC. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of PBN is due to the improved charge separation and transport of photo-induced electrons/holes originating from the lower exciton binding energy (Eb ), longer fluorescence lifetime, and stronger built-in electric field, caused by the introduction of the polar B←N unit into the polymer backbone. Moreover, the extension of the visible light absorption region and the enhancement of surface catalytic ability further increase the activity of PBN. This work reveals the potential of B←N fused structures as building blocks as well as proposes a rational design strategy for achieving high photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The construction of novel organoboron complexes with facile synthesis and unique advantages for biological imaging remains a challenge and thus has garnered considerable attention. Herein, we developed a new molecular platform, boron indolin-3-one-pyrrol (BOIN3OPY) via a two-step sequential reaction. The molecular core is robust enough to allow for post-functionalization to produce versatile dyes. When compared to the standard BODIPY, these dyes feature an N,O-bidentate seven-membered ring center, significantly redshifted absorption, and a larger Stokes shift. This study establishes a new molecular platform that provides more flexibility for the functional regulation of dyes.

Abstract
Catalytic dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DyKAT) provides a powerful tool to access chiral stereoisomers from racemic substrates. Such transformation has been widely employed on the construction of central chirality, however, the application in axial chirality remains underexplored because its equilibrium of substrate enantiomers is limited to five-membered metalacyclic intermediate. Here we report a tetracoordinate boron-directed dynamic kinetic asymmetric cross-coupling of racemic, configurationally stable 3-bromo-2,1-azaborines with boronic acid derivatives. A series of challenging C-B axially chiral compounds were prepared with generally good to excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, this transformation can also be extended to prepare atropisomers bearing adjacent C-B and C-C diaxes with excellent diastereo- and enantio-control. The key to the success relies on the rational design of a reversible tetracoordinate boron intermediate, which is supported by theoretical calculations that dramatically reduces the rotational barrier of the original C-B axis and achieves the goal of DyKAT.

Abstract
Two novel multiple B ← N Lewis pair functionalized perylenes are reported. While OBN-Pery shows a centrosymmetric and planar architecture, PBN-Pery displays an axisymmetric and twist structure. B ← N functionalization in both of them results in a large decrease in the HOMO-LUMO energy gap. PBN-Pery in particular has a low LUMO energy level (-3.00 eV) and red emission at the NIR I region with high fluorescence quantum yield.

Abstract
Four-coordinate organoboron derivatives present interesting chemical, physical, biological, electronical, and optical properties. Given the increasing demand for the synthesis of smart functional materials based on chiral organoboron compounds, the exploration of stereoselective synthesis of boron-stereogenic organo-derivatives is highly desirable. However, the stereoselective construction of organoboron compounds stereogenic at boron has been far less studied than other elements of the main group due to configurational stability concerns. Nowadays, these species are no longer elusive and configurationally stable compounds have been highlighted. The idea is to show the potential of the stereoselective building of the four-coordinate boron centre and encourage future endeavors and developments in the field.

Abstract
Over the decade, there have been developments in purely organic thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, achieving narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) and high external quantum efficiency (EQE) is crucial for real display industries. To overcome these hurdles, hyperfluorescence (HF) technology was proposed for next-generation OLEDs. In this technology, the TADF material was considered a sensitizing host, the so-called TADF sensitized host (TSH), for use of triplet excitons via the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) pathway. Since most of the TADF materials show bipolar characteristics, electrically generated singlet and triplet exciton energies can be transported to the final fluorescent emitter (FE) through Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) rather than Dexter energy transfer (DET). This mechanism is possible from the S1 state of the TSH to the S1 state of the final fluorescent dopant (FD) as a long-range energy transfer. Considering this, some reports are available based on hyperfluorescence OLEDs, but the detailed analysis for highly efficient and stable devices for commercialization was unclear. So herein, we reviewed the relevant factors based on recent advancements to build a highly efficient and stable hyperfluorescence system. The factors include an energy transfer mechanism based on spectral overlapping, TSH requirements, electroluminescence study based on exciplex and polarity system, shielding effect, DET suppression, and FD orientation. Furthermore, the outlook and future positives with new directions were discussed to build high-performance OLEDs.

Abstract
Fusion selenophene endows the chromophore with more intrinsic and special functions. Herein, nonsymmetric selenophene-fused BODIPYs were designed and synthesized starting from the selenophene unit. The fused ring of selenophene not only maintains the rigid structure of BODIPY but also further modulates its spectral properties. The newly prepared dyes possessed many promising properties including large molar extinction coefficients, low fluorescence quantum yields, and moderate singlet oxygen generation. Quantum calculations affirmed that the smaller singlet-triplet energy gap and larger spin-orbit coupling cause efficient intersystem crossing, thus enhancing the singlet oxygen generation yield. Furthermore, selenophene-fused BODIPY exhibited significant phototoxicity with negligible dark cytotoxicity, based on the fluorescence imaging of the reactive oxygen species detection experiment.

Abstract
2-Amino[2.2]paracyclophane reacts with salicylaldehyde or 2-hydroxyacetophenone to yield imines that then give access to a new series of boranils (8b-d) upon complexation with BF2 . These novel boron-containing compounds display both planar and axial chiralities and were examined experimentally and computationally. In particular, their photophysical and chiroptical properties were studied and compared to newly prepared, simpler boranils (9a-d) exhibiting axial chirality only. Less sophisticated chiral architectures were shown to demonstrate overall stronger circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity.

Abstract
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) receive considerable attention because of their commercial use in flat panel displays. Herein, highly efficient spiroborate-based host materials are reported for use in blue OLEDs. Our designed spiroborates (SBOX) were simple to synthesize and exhibited high triplet excitation energies, narrow S-T gaps, and balanced charge carrier mobilities. A blue OLED containing one of the designed spiroborates, SBON, as a host exhibited a high external quantum efficiency (27.6 %) and low turn-on voltage (3.7 V) compared to those observed using 3,3'-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl (17.6 % and 4.5 V, respectively), indicating their potential as host materials in OLEDs.

Abstract
Borinic acids [R2B(OH)] and their chelate derivatives are a subclass of organoborane compounds used in cross-coupling reactions, catalysis, medicinal chemistry, polymer or optoelectronics materials. In this paper, we review the recent advances in the synthesis of diarylborinic acids and their four-coordinated analogs. The main strategies to build up borinic acids rely either on the addition of organometallic reagents to boranes (B(OR)3, BX3, aminoborane, arylboronic esters) or the reaction of triarylboranes with a ligand (diol, amino alcohol, etc.). After general practical considerations of borinic acids, an overview of the main synthetic methods, their scope and limitations is provided. We also discuss some mechanistic aspects.

Tetracoordinate boron compounds are a highly important class of molecules, which are the key intermediates in many organoboron-related chemical transformations and have unique luminescence properties. However, the synthesis of tetracoordinate boron compounds has never been reviewed. In this highlight, we summarize recent progress on the construction of racemic and chiral tetracoordinate borons, and hope to provide ideas for the assembly of them in more efficient ways, especially for the construction of boron-stereogenic compounds.

Abstract
The borate complexes derived from salicylaldimine ligands, called boranils, possess a wide range of photophysical and electronic characteristics intrinsically. The unique combination of molecular rigidity, rendered by four-coordinate boron bridges, and extended π-conjugation enable them to serve as technically feasible fluorescent materials (dyes). The incorporation of liquid crystallinity in these boron(III) complexes, especially the columnar (Col) mesomorphism, which is overlooked hitherto, would provide a new dimension to these complexes. Herein, we report the first examples of tris(boranil) discotic liquid crystal (LC) dyes that have been readily synthesized by treating tris(N-salicylideneaniline)s, (TSAN)s, with BF3 .Et2 O in the presence of an acid quencher. These C3 -symmetric borate complexes self-assemble into the Col phase, existing over a wide thermal span including room temperature. The 2D periodic order of the Col phases shows dependence on the length of the peripheral tails. The photophysical measurements reveal the fluorescence emission in their two condensed states viz., solid and Col phase, and in solution. Their electrochemical, two-step oxidation process coupled with the aforesaid features upholds their significance in applied research.

Abstract
High concentrations of active carriers on the surface of a semiconductor through energy/electron transfer are the core process in the photocatalytic hydrogen production from water. However, it remains a challenge to significantly improve photocatalytic performance by modifying simple molecular modulation. Herein, a new strategy is proposed to enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance using boron and nitrogen elements to construct B←N coordination bonds. Experimental results show that polynaphthopyridine borane (PNBN) possessing B←N coordination bonds shows a hydrogen evolution rate of 217.4 µmol h-1 , which is significantly higher than that of the comparison materials 0 µmol h-1 for polyphenylnaphthalene (PNCC) and 0.66 µmol h-1 for polypyridylnaphthalene (PNNC), mainly attributed to the formation of a strong built-in electric field that promotes the separation of photo-generated electrons/holes. This work opens up new prospects for the design of highly efficient polymeric photocatalysts at the molecular level.

Abstract
A chiral Schiff-base boron difluoride complex bearing a diethylamino group was synthesized. Its photophysical properties were investigated and compared with those of its non-substituted analogue. The complex was found to exhibit solvatofluorochromism with bluish-white emission in moderately polar solvents and intense blue emission in nonpolar solvent. Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties were also examined and it was found that the absolute value of the luminescence dissymmetry factor (g lum) increases significantly in the KBr-dispersed pellet state compared to the solution state. Notably, CPL intensity of the complex enhanced approximately three times upon addition of CH3SO3H in CH2Cl2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to further understand the photophysical properties.

Polydimethylsiloxanes with Grafted Dibenzoylmethanatoboron Difluoride: Synthesis and Properties. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:5075.

Abstract
A method for the preparation of polydimethylsiloxanes with grafted methoxy-substituted dibenzoylmethanatoboron difluoride has been described. The structures of prepared polymers were confirmed using NMR, IR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography methods. Their thermal properties were investigated using thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and thermomechanical analysis. The prepared polymers had good thermal (Td5% up to 393 °C) and thermo-oxidative (Td5% = 413 °C) stability. The polymers started to transit in a viscous flow state at about 40 °C (for 3 a) and at about 20 °C (for 3 b). The viscoelastic characteristics of prepared polymers were determined in the sinusoidal oscillating vibrations mode. It was shown that the studied polymers at low frequencies at room temperature are viscoelastic fluids (G′ < G″). Increasing the frequency led to inversion (crossover) of dependences G′ and G″, which indicated the transition of polymers from viscous to elastomeric behavior characteristics, and the beginning of the formation of a physical network. Optical properties were studied using electron absorption, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. It was shown that intramolecular H-dimers exist in the ground state. The polymers studied had a bright fluorescence in the solution and in the solid state, consisting of bands of monomer and excimer emission. Thermally-activated delayed fluorescence was observed in the solution and the solid state. The prepared polymers possess intriguing properties that make them useful as optical materials, sensors or imaging agents.

Abstract
The subclass of multi resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent emitters (MR-TADF) containing boron atoms has garnered significant attention in the field of organic light emitting diode (OLED) research. Among boron-based MR-TADF emitters, double boron-embedded MR-TADF (DB-MR-TADF) emitters show excellent electroluminescence performances with high photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow band emission, and beneficially small singlet-triplet energy levels in all the full-color gamut regions. This article reviews recent progress in DB-MR-TADF emitters, with particular attention to molecular design concepts, synthetic routes, optoelectronic properties, and OLED performance, giving future prospects for real-world applications.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of laterally extended azabora[5]-, -[6]- and -[7]helicenes, assembled from N-heteroaromatic and dibenzo[g,p]chrysene building blocks is described. Formally, the π-conjugated systems of the pristine azaborole helicenes were enlarged with a phenanthrene unit leading to compounds with large Stokes shifts, significantly enhanced luminescence quantum yields (Φ) and dissymmetry factors (glum ). The beneficial effect on optical properties was also observed for helical elongation. The combined contributions of lateral and helical extensions resulted in a compound showing green emission with Φ of 0.31 and |glum | of 2.2×10-3 , highest within the series of π-extended azaborahelicenes and superior to emission intensity and chiroptical response of its non-extended congener. This study shows that helical and lateral extensions of π-conjugated systems are viable strategies to improve features of azaborole helicenes. In addition, single crystal X-ray analysis of configurationally stable [6]- and -[7]helicenes was used to provide insight into their packing arrangements.

Abstract
B-N-fused dianthracenylpyrazine derivatives are synthesized to generate new low gap chromophores. Photophysical and electrochemical, crystal packing, and theoretical studies have been performed. Two energetically similar conformers are identified by density functional theory calculations, showing that the core unit adopts a curved saddle-like shape (x-isomer) or a zig-zag conformation (z-isomer). In the solid state, the z-isomer is prevalent according to an X-ray crystal structure of a C6F5-substituted derivative (4-Pf), but variable-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance studies suggest a dynamic behavior in solution. B-N fusion results in a large decrease of the HOMO-LUMO gap and dramatically lowers the LUMO energy compared to the all-carbon analogues. 4-Pf in particular shows significant absorbance at greater than 700 nm while being almost transparent throughout the visible region. After encapsulation in the biodegradable polymer DSPE-mPEG2000, 4-Pf nanoparticles (4-Pf-NPs) exhibit good water solubility, high photostability, and an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of ∼41.8%. 4-Pf-NPs are evaluated both in vitro and in vivo as photothermal therapeutic agents. These results uncover B-N Lewis pair functionalization of PAHs as a promising strategy toward new NIR-absorbing materials for photothermal applications.

Abstract
This study presents the design and synthetic pathway of unsymmetric ligands based on pyridine-pyrazolate scaffold with Donor-Acceptor (D-A) molecular arrays and their boron complexes to achieve a large Stokes shift. Intermolecular charge transfer (ICT) triggered by the uneven molecular charge distribution from electronically dense pyrazolate (donor) part of the ligands to electron-deficient boron centre (acceptor) resulted in a mega Stokes shift up to 263 nm for selected compounds while retaining the characteristic quantum efficiency and chemical stability. The photophysical properties of derivatization of pyrazolate group in the pyridine-pyrazolate scaffold of diaryl boron complexes were explored based on UV-Visible, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. An interesting dual emission along with quenching behaviour was also observed for 2-(6-methoxynaphthelene) 5-(2-pyridyl) pyrazolate boron complex (P5) due to the formation of a twisted intermolecular charge transfer (TICT) state from a locally excited (LE) state rendering it a potential candidate for sensing applications based on H-Bond quenching. In addition, the extended excited state lifetime of the reported compounds compared to classical boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) makes them suitable as potential probes for analytical applications requiring a longer excited state lifetime.

Abstract
The reaction of Bppy(Mes)2 (BN1; ppy = 2-phenylpyridine) and BCH2ppy(Mes)2 (BN3) with the reducing reagent KC8 resulted in C-C bond formation via intermolecular radical coupling to generate the 4,4'-bipyridyl ligand compounds BN2 and BN4. Adding 1 equivalent of KC8 to a THF solution of BN2 and BN4 generated the 4,4'-bipyridyl radical anions BN2K and BN4K. The dianion species BN2K2 and BN4K2 could be obtained by adding 2 equivalents of KC8 to the THF solution of BN2 and BN4. In the presence of 2,2,2-cryptand or 18-crown-6, the radical anion salt BN2K(crypt) and the dianion salt BN2K2(18c6)2 were isolated for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural, spectroscopic, and computational studies were performed on the three species of BN2 derivatives (neutral, radical anion, and dianion species). BN2 and BN4 were stable and did not undergo photoisomerization or photoelimination under UV light irradiation.

Abstract
Bioimaging of subcellular organelles such as mitochondria is crucial for detecting physiological abnormalities induced by fluctuations in the levels of various analytes. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of two novel water-soluble cationic Lewis acid triarylborane-triarylamine conjugates 1 and 2. The optical characteristics of 1 and 2 and their precursor compounds BTPA-NMe2 and BTPA-2NMe2 were evaluated, which show similar absorption and fluorescence spectra, with 1 and 2 exhibiting higher quantum yields of 0.73 and 0.64, respectively, than those of the precursors BTPA-NMe2 and BTPA-2NMe2, indicating the partial disruption of the ICT process and the activation of alternative emission bands in 1 and 2. The live cell imaging ability of compound 2 was examined in HeLa cells using a confocal microscope. Moreover, mitochondrial internalisation using compound 2 was effective and it was found to have high photostability under UV light conditions. Furthermore, compound 2 demonstrated an evident colorimetric response with a colour change to dark yellow in aqueous environments, indicating that it could be used for anion sensing. The spectral changes were observed in UV-visible and fluorescence titration experiments, which were strongly supported by DFT calculations. In short, compound 2 synthesized by us can be exclusively utilized for the selective localization of mitochondria with less cytotoxicity and shows excellent colorimetric response to aqueous inorganic fluoride at levels as low as 0.1 ppm with high selectivity.

Abstract
Recently the fruitful merger of organoboron chemistry and photocatalysis has come to the forefront of organic synthesis, resulting in the development of new technologies to access complex (non)borylated frameworks. Central to the success of this combination is control of boron hybridisation. Contingent on the photoactivation mode, boron as its neutral planar form or tetrahedral boronate can be used to regulate reactivity. This Minireview highlights the current state of the art in photocatalytic processes utilising organoboron compounds, paying particular attention to the role of boron hybridisation for the target transformation.

Abstract
A unique B-N coordinated phenanthroimidazole-based zinc salen was synthesized. The zinc salen thus synthesized acts as a photocatalyst for the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with terminal epoxides under ambient conditions. DFT study of the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with terminal epoxide indicates the preference of the reaction pathway when photocatalyzed by zinc salen. We anticipate that this strategy will help to design new photocatalysts for CO2 fixation.
