Abstract

The presence of a reactive B–Cl bond allowed for the direct functionalization of the boron center in antiaromatic chloroborole ClBC4Ph4, thus allowing for a selective fine tuning of the optical properties of borole derivatives and facilitating a potential new approach toward the introduction of borole moieties into the backbone of organic π-conjugated frameworks.
