Facile π-extension of boron-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by frustrated Lewis pair alkynylation
Despite modest steric demands and a labile substituent, B-brominated boron-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can participate in frustrated Lewis pairs. This is exploited for B-alkynylation and functionalization of boron-doped PAHs, enabling deep LUMO levels, solid-state 1D π-stackings, and long-wavelength emissions extending into the near-infrared.
