syn-BN-heteroacene cored conjugated oligomers with finely tuned blue-violet luminescent properties

Org Biomol Chem. 2017 Aug 30;15(34):7106-7111. doi: 10.1039/c7ob01679d.

Abstract

Initiated by the effective dibromination of syn-BN-heteroacenes, a series of BN-containing conjugated oligomers was successfully synthesized upon transition-metal-catalyzed cross coupling. Their electronic structures can be finely tailored through varying the fused backbone or terminal substituents, endowing them with tunable luminescent properties within blue-violet regions.
