Abstract
Controlling the ultrafast photodynamics of metal-free organic molecules has great potential for technological applications. In this work, we use solvent polarity and viscosity as "external knobs" to govern the photodynamics of an electron-donating derivative of 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (terpy), namely 4'-(4-(di(4-tert-butylphenyl)amine)phenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tBuTPAterpy). We combine femtosecond fluorescence upconversion (FlUC), transient absorption (TA) and quantum mechanical calculations to provide a comprehensive description of the tBuTPAterpy's photodynamics. Our results demonstrate that, by changing the solvent, the time scale of light-induced conformational changes of the system can be tuned over two orders of magnitude, controlling the tBuTPAterpy fluorescence spectral region and yield. As a result, depending on the local environment, tBuTPAterpy can act either as an "early bird" or a "night owl", with a tunability that makes it a promising candidate for metal-free sensors.

Abstract
Reversible conversion between excited-states plays an important role in many photophysical phenomena. Using 1-(pyren-2'-yl)-o-carborane as a model, we studied the photoinduced reversible charge-transfer (CT) process and the thermodynamic equilibrium between the locally-excited (LE) state and CT state, by combining steady state, time-resolved, and temperature-dependent fluorescence spectroscopy, fs- and ns-transient absorption, and DFT and LR-TDDFT calculations. Our results show that the energy gaps and energy barriers between the LE, CT, and a non-emissive 'mixed' state of 1-(pyren-2'-yl)-o-carborane are very small, and all three excited states are accessible at room temperature. The internal-conversion and reverse internal-conversion between LE and CT states are significantly faster than the radiative decay, and the two states have the same lifetimes and are in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Abstract
The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behaviors of carborane-based hybrid emitters have been extensively reported, while their combinations with the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are still scarce. We designed and synthesized three Janus carboranes (the chemical structures resemble the double-faced god, Janus) Cb-1/2/3 with different carbazole moieties. All of the Janus carboranes exhibited quenched emission in solution with ΦPL (quantum efficiency of photoluminescence (PL)) lower than 0.01. The PL performance was improved by proceeding to the aggregates in THF/water (ΦPL 0.17-0.35) and further improved in the crystals or solid with ΦPL up to 0.99 for Cb-1, 0.85 for Cb-2, and 0.61 for Cb-3, which agreed with the AIE enhancement. Although the PL of solid Cb-1/2/3 showed non-TADF properties with lifetimes only at several nanoseconds, the crystallographic studies have shown a root cause of π···π stacking that quenched the TADF, and the theoretical calculations forecasted small singlet-triplet energy gaps (ΔES-T) therein. According to these findings, TADF was recovered in Cb-1/2/3 by doping into 1,3-bis(carbazol-9-yl)benzene (mCP). The 10 wt % doped films of Cb-1/2/3 have achieved a trade-off of ΦPL (0.84 in Cb-3 and 0.83 in Cb-1) and delayed lifetime (up to 8 μs). The doped devices of organic light-emitting diodes incorporating Cb-1/2/3 achieved the highest external quantum efficiency at 10.1% and the maximized luminance of 5920 cd/m2 at a driving voltage of 8 V.

Abstract
Because of their unique luminescence properties, such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE), intense solid-state luminescence and stimuli-responsive luminochromism, aryl-substituted o-carboranes have attracted attention as a platform for developing functional optoelectronic materials. However, there still remains one fundamental issue with the detailed mechanism of solution quenching in AIE behaviors. Aryl-modified o-carboranes with AIE properties exhibit intense emission not in solution but in the solid state. According to quantum calculations and many experimental results, the elongation at the carbon-carbon bond in o-carborane in the excited state, followed by nonradiative decay, has been proposed as a main path for emission annihilation in solution. However, intramolecular rotation would simultaneously occur, and there is a possibility that emission annihilation could be induced by the combination of both bond elongation and rotation. In this study, we designed two types of biphenyl-substituted o-carboranes having fused structures at the neighbor carbon and boron atoms for fixing molecular conformation. In these molecules, bond elongation is allowed, while rotation would be prohibited. From the series of optical measurements and theoretical investigations, we proved that emission annihilation can occur through bond elongation in the absence of rotation. Moreover, we show that bond elongation could be suppressed by introducing a bulky substituent at the adjacent carbon, and emission color tuning was achieved. This is the first example, to the best of our knowledge, to prove that excitation decay can proceed only through bond elongation without electronic perturbation caused by rotation.

Abstract
o-Carborane, a cluster compound containing boron and adjacent carbon atoms, displays intriguing luminescent properties. Recently, compounds containing o-carborane units were found to show suppressed aggregation-induced quenching and intense solid-state emission; they also show potential for the development of stimuli-responsive luminochromic materials. In this Minireview, we introduce three kinds of fundamental photochemical properties: aggregation-induced emission, twisted intramolecular charge transfer in crystals, and environment-sensitive excimer formation in solids. Based on these properties, several types of luminochromism, such as thermos-, vapo-, and mechanochromism, have been discovered. Based mainly on results from recent studies, we illustrate these mechanisms as well as unique luminescent behaviors of o-carborane derivatives.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative B-H/C-H cross coupling of monocarborane anions with alkenes is reported, allowing for the first time the isolation of selectively penta-alkenylated boron clusters. The reaction cascade is regioselective for the cage positions, leading directly to B2-6 functionalization. Under mild and convenient conditions, styrenes, benzylic alkenes and aliphatic alkenes are demonstrated to be viable coupling partners with exclusive vinyl-type B-C bond formation. Multiple subsequent transformations provide access to directing group-free products, chiral derivatives and penta-alkylated cages. The five-fold coupling, combined with the latter reactions, represents a powerful methodology for the straightforward synthesis of new classes of boron clusters.

Abstract
We synthesised carbazole (Cz) dendrimers with heteroleptic Ir-complex cores. Upon excitation of the carbazole (Cz) dendrons, the phosphorescence of the core Ir(iii) complex was quenched due to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process. The PET dynamics of the excited Cz-dendrons were investigated using the femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption technique. A broad transient absorption (TA) band attributed to the S1-Sn transition of the 1Cz*-dendron was observed at around 630 nm in the first generation Cz-dendrimer (G1). This TA band in the second-generation dendrimer (G2) decayed with a longer lifetime of 55.5 ps compared to that of G1 (9.8 ps), because G2 has a larger distance between the Cz-dendron and Ir-complex core than that of G1. The decay time of the free 1Cz*-dendron was 6.3 ns, and thus, the reduced decay time in Gn corresponds to the PET dynamics. As a result of the PET process, the Cz cationic radical species (Cz˙+) was observed at around 780 nm. Interestingly, when the core Ir-complex in the dendrimer was excited with a 400 nm pulse selectively, the TA band of Cz˙+ was also detected at around 780 nm. This may be due to the photoinduced hole transfer (PHT) from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy state of Cz to the lowest singly occupied molecular orbital (LSOMO) energy state of the excited Ir-complex. The oxidation potential of Cz is lower than that of the Ir-complex, indicating that the HOMO of the Cz-dendron is located at a higher energy state than that of the Ir-complex. To investigate the relative order of the energy states and their orbital shapes, we performed theoretical calculations using density functional theory. The TA spectra were globally deconvoluted to generate the decay-associated spectra (DAS), from which the species-associated spectra (SAS) were calculated. The SAS can distinguish the individual intermediate species participating in the PET and PHT processes. The analysed rate constants of SAS were consistent with the results determined by the TA decays.

Abstract
The synthesis of a highly twisted chrysene derivative incorporating two electron deficient o-carboranyl groups is reported. The molecule exhibits a complex, excitation-dependent photoluminescence, including aggregation-induced emission (AIE) with good quantum efficiency and an exceptionally long singlet excited state lifetime. Through a combination of detailed optical studies and theoretical calculations, the excited state species are identified, including an unusual excimer induced by the presence of o-carborane. This is the first time that o-carborane has been shown to induce excimer formation ab initio, as well as the first observation of excimer emission by a chrysene-based small molecule in solution. Bis-o-carboranyl chrysene is thus an initial member of a new family of o-carboranyl phenacenes exhibiting a novel architecture for highly-efficient multi-luminescent fluorophores.

Abstract
A novel single organic molecule–carborane conjugate, CAN, was synthesized in a high yield via a modified nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction incorporating an anthracene unit and an o-carborane moiety.
A novel single organic molecule–carborane conjugate, CAN, was synthesized in a high yield via a modified nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction incorporating an anthracene unit and an o-carborane moiety. CAN exhibits multiple functions of tricolored mechanochromism and mechanically triggered thermochromism. The fluorescence could be switched from blue to bright yellow then to pink by grinding. The robust and reversible thermochromic process was triggered by the mechanical force. The locally excited (LE) state emission, intermolecular excimer formation and twisted intermolecular charge transfer (TICT) are the primary origins of this tricolor switching property. High temperature sensitivity of the heavily ground CAN powders contribute to the mechanical force induced TICT emission enhancement and color switching.

Abstract
The enhancement of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is presented on the basis of the strategy for improving solid-state luminescence by employing multiple o-carborane substituents. We synthesized the modified triphenylamines with various numbers of o-carborane units and compared their optical properties. From the optical measurements, the emission bands from the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state were obtained from the modified triphenylamines. It was notable that emission efficiencies of the multi-substituted triphenylamines including two or three o-carborane units were enhanced 6- to 8-fold compared to those of the mono-substituted triphenylamine. According to mechanistic studies, it was proposed that the single o-carborane substitution can load the AIE property via the TICT mechanism. It was revealed that the additional o-carborane units contribute to improving solid-state emission by suppressing aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Subsequently, intense AIEs were obtained. This paper presents a new role of the o-carborane substituent in the enhancement of AIEs.
