Abstract

In it together: Thermally stable N,C-chelate four-coordinate organoborons were attained by grafting intramolecular B× × ×N coordination into tetraphenylethene-pyridine and -quinoline adducts. They exhibit aggregation-induced emission characteristics (see figure), and high fluorescence quantum yields approaching unity in solid films.
