Bifuran-bridged bisboranes: highly luminescent B-doped oligohetarenes†
Abstract
A series of bifuran-bridged bis(triarylboranes) have been synthesized via classical metathesis or catalytic silicon/boron exchange reactions, respectively. The products obtained are strongly luminescent, with quantum yields up to 85%, and reversibly twofold reduced via successive one-electron processes.
