Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Mar 21;55(25):3638-3641. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00769e.

Abstract

In this manuscript, we report a disk-type polyarene consisting of an all-hexagon π-framework and four B←N units. It exhibits intriguing electronic structures and opto-electronic properties, such as locally modulated (anti)aromaticity, strong red fluorescence and n-type semiconductor characteristics, thus representing a new kind of π-molecule containing B←N units.
