Abstract
N,N′-chelate organoboron compounds have been successfully applied in bioimaging, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), functional polymer, photocatalyst, electroluminescent (EL) devices, and other science and technology areas. However, the concise and efficient synthetic methods become more and more significant for material science, biomedical research, or other practical science. Here, we summarized the organoboron-N,N′-chelate derivatives and showed the different routes of their syntheses. Traditional methods to synthesize N,N′-chelate organoboron compounds were mainly using bidentate ligand containing nitrogen reacting with trivalent boron reagents. In this review, we described a series of bidentate ligands, such as bipyridine, 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-indole, 2-(5-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)quinoline, N-(quinolin-8-yl)acetamide, 1,10-phenanthroline, and diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP).
Highlights
The research group adopted quinoline linked with pyrrole in one molecule as bidentate ligand to react with triphenylboron
All the complexes were fully characterized and we we found that quantum yield organoboron compound reached when found that thethe quantum yield of of organoboron compound
(EL) devices, devices, and didiarylboron complexeshave havebeen been successfully successfully synthesized synthesized by arylboron complexes by using using aa series seriesofofbidentate bidentate ligands ligandsand anddiversified diversifiedboron boronreagents
Summary
N,N 0 -chelate tetracoordinated organoboron compounds have been widely applied in various science and technology areas. A quinoline linking derivatives (or other nitrogen heteroheterocyclic molecule) has been reported as a pyrrole bidentate ligand to react with boron reagents.
