Abstract

The structure and photophysical properties of two known borylanilines, 4-(dimesitylboryl) aniline (1) and 4-(dimesitylboryl)-3, 5-dimethylaniline (2), have been investigated. 1 and 2 have similar donor and acceptor centers but differ in their molecular conformations. Compounds 1 and 2 have been structurally characterized, and they exhibit a rare form of intermolecular N–H---π electrostatic interactions. The structure and photophysical ...
