Near-IR Emissive B-N Lewis Pair-Functionalized Anthracenes via Selective LUMO Extension in Conjugated Dimer and Polymer.

Acenes are attractive as building blocks for low gap organic materials with applications, for example, in organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, bioimaging and diagnostics. Previously, we have shown that modification of dipyridylanthracene via B-N Lewis pair fusion (BDPA) strongly redshifts the emission, while facilitating self-sensitized reactivity toward O to reversibly generate the corresponding endoperoxides. Herein, we report on the further expansion of the π-system of BDPA to a vinyl-substituted monomer, vinylene-bridged dimer, and a polymer with an average of 20 chromophores.

In a procedure similar to that used in Asch's classic studies in 1946, 125 college students (54 men and 71 women, Mage=20.9 yr., SD=4.
