Two types of "parental" BN-dibenzo[f,k]tetraphenes (BNDBT-1 and BNDBT-2) have been synthesized via a transition-metal-catalyzed tandem cross-coupling reaction as key steps. Both BNDBT-1 and BNDBT-2 are fully characterized; one of them is unambiguously confirmed by a single X-ray crystal structure. Compared to its all-carbon analogue DBT, BNDBT-1 and BNDBT-2 exhibit a higher highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy, while the BN doping position slightly influences the HOMO and LUMO energies of BNDBT-1 and BNDBT-2. Both BNDBT-1 and BNDBT-2 exhibit red-shifted absorption and emission spectra and higher emission efficiencies, as compared to their carbonaceous analogue DBT. Moreover, organic light emitting diodes were fabricated using BNDBT-1 and BNDBT-2 as emitters, demonstrating their potential applications.
