The first dimesitylboryl substitution of aryl halides with a silylborane bearing a dimesitylboryl group in the presence of alkali-metal alkoxides is described. The reactions of aryl bromides or iodides with Ph MeSi-BMes and Na(OtBu) afforded the desired aryl dimesitylboranes in good to high yields and with high borylation/silylation ratios. Selective reaction of the sterically less-hindered C-Br bond of dibromoarenes provided monoborylated products. This reaction was used to rapidly construct a D-π-A aryl dimesityl borane with a non-symmetrical biphenyl spacer.

Two-Photon Excited Fluorescent 3,3'-Diamino-5,5'-Diboryl-2,2'-Bithienyls Featuring a Quadrupolar Structure.

The quest for fluorophores exhibiting large two-photon absorption cross sections and high fluorescence efficiency is an important topic. Two 2,2'-bithienyl derivatives are disclosed which contain two N,N-disubstituted amino and two dimesitylboryl groups at 3,3'- and 5,5'-positions, respectively. Despite the great steric effect of amino groups, the bithienyl skeleton still adopts a coplanar geometry.

Novel bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(ii) derivatives having 4-[bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)boryl]phenyl (ZnBph) or 4-[bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)boryl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl groups (ZnBdu) at the 5-position of the dipyrrinato ligands were designed and synthesized. In ZnBph with the smaller dipyrrinate-arylene and arylene-dimesitylboryl dihedral angles, an intramolecular charge transfer arising from the presence of the vacant p orbital on the boron atom participates in the ππ* excited state in character in contrast to the pure ππ* excited state of ZnBdu. The synergistic ππ*/ILCT excited state was weakly fluorescent, and the fluorescence was enhanced upon binding of fluoride to the boron atom.

Dimesitylborylethynylated Arenes: Unique Electronic and Photophysical Properties Caused by Ethynediyl (C≡C) Spacers.

Herein, we report the synthesis and electrochemical and photophysical properties of aromatic hydrocarbons having one or two dimesitylborylethynyl peripherals. The mono- (1) and diboryl compounds (2), readily prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction, are fairly stable to air and moisture in the solid state. The inserted ethynediyl (C≡C) spacer cancels the steric hindrance between the bulky dimesitylboryl groups and aromatic rings, leading to effective π conjugation over the B-C≡C-Ar linkages, as revealed by cyclic voltammetry.

We have disclosed a new type of [2.2]paracyclophanes that contain a 2-(dimesitylboryl)phenyl and a N,N-disubstituted amino groups at two different phenyl rings. They show intense circularly polarized luminescence combining high fluorescence efficiency (Φ) and luminescence dissymmetry factor (||), which are up to 0.

We report the impact of boron acceptors on the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties of -donor-appended triarylboron compounds. Different boryl acceptor moieties, such as 9-boraanthryl (), 10-phenoxaboryl (), and dimesitylboryl (BMes, ) groups have been introduced into an donor (D)-acceptor (A) backbone structure containing a 9,9-diphenylacridine (DPAC) donor. X-ray crystal diffraction and NMR spectroscopy evidence the presence of steric congestion around the boron atom along with a highly twisted D-A structure.
