Abstract
The extension of conjugated organoboranes from monomeric species to oligomers, macrocycles, and polymers offers access to a plethora of fascinating new materials. The p-π* conjugation between empty orbitals on boron and the conjugated linkers not only affects the electronic structure and optical properties, but also enables mutual interactions between electron-deficient boron centers. The unique properties of these electron-deficient π-conjugated systems are exploited in highly luminescent materials, organic optoelectronic devices, and sensing applications.
