Abstract The synthesis, structure, and fluorescence properties of a series of new donor–π– acceptor (D–π–A) type compounds, with a trivalent boron, protected by two mesityl groups, as acceptor, and with various typical donors and different π-conjugated bridges, are reported. All these stable organoboron compounds show intense single-photon excited fluorescence (SPEF) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) in a wide spectral ...
