First blue luminescent diborate compound: B₂(µ-O)Et₂(7-azain)₂ (7-azain = 7-azaindole anion)

Abstract

A novel blue luminescent diborate compound B₂(µ-O)Et₂(7-azain)₂ (7-azain = 7-azaindole anion) is synthesized and characterized structurally; it emits a blue color at λ_max = 422 nm in the solid and at λ_max = 419 nm in solution and is stable under air as a solid.
