B(C6F5)3: A Lewis Acid that Brings the Light to the Solid State.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
January 2016
The straightforward coordination of the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 to classical, non-emitting aldehydes results in solid-state photoluminescence. Variation of the electronic properties of the carbonyl moieties lead to the modulation of the solid-state emission colors, covering the entire visible spectrum with quantum yields up to 0.64.

These intrinsic properties are usually manipulated by varying the molecule's electrochemical and magnetic environment, a procedure that requires complex setups with multiple terminals. Here we show that oxidation and reduction of organometallic compounds containing either Fe, Ru or Mo centres can solely be triggered by the electric field applied to a two-terminal molecular junction.

- Phosphorus heterocycles offer unique properties that carbon-based materials can’t match, thanks to phosphorus’s distinctive hybridization and electron-accepting qualities.
- A new synthetic method has been developed for creating fused six-membered phosphorus heterocycles, particularly novel phosphaphenalenes.
- These new compounds combine the advantages of five- and six-membered heterocycles and allow for various postfunctionalization reactions, expanding possibilities in conjugated materials.
