Abstract

The synthesis and properties of biphenyl- and p-terphenyl-fused o-carboranes are described. Aryl rings in the biphenyl and p-terphenyl skeletons are highly coplanar because of the presence of the o-carborane unit. o-Carborane exhibits an electron-withdrawing character via the inductive effect, resulting in a decrease in both the HOMO and LUMO levels of oligophenyls without causing electronic perturbation.
