Abstract
AbstractThe incorporation of heteroatoms into hydrocarbon compounds greatly expands the chemical space of molecular materials. In this context, B−N doping takes a center stage due to its isosterism with a C=C‐bond. Herein, we present a new and modular synthetic concept to access novel diazadiborabenzo[b]triphenylenes7 a–husing the B−N doped biradical16as intermediate. Characterization of the photophysical properties revealed the emission spectra of the diazadibora benzo[b]triphenylenes7 a–hcan conveniently be tuned by small changes of the substitution on the boron‐atom. All of the diazadibora compounds show a short life‐time phosphorescence. Additionally, we were able to rationalize the excited‐state relaxation of the diazadiboraacene7 avia intersystem crossing by quantum chemical calculations. The new synthetic strategy provides an elegant route to various novel B−N doped acenes with great potential for applications in molecular materials.
