Small is different: N,N-chelated organoboron complexes with seven-membered rings

Abstract

Two seven-membered N,N-chelated organoboron complexes were synthesized. A small structural change led to a significant difference in molecular geometry—one was saddle-shaped, the other approximately planar. This change strongly impacted their optical properties; the planar complex had red-shifted absorption and emisson but a much lower fluorescence quantum yield.
