Experimental work demonstrates efficient fluorescence in boranil complexes, suggesting applications in photonics.
Complexation of a large variety of Anils (aniline-imines) with boron(III) precursors provides stable Boranils, some of which have been structurally characterized. Analysis of their optical properties reveals that the fluorescence stems from an intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) state with the best quantum yields reaching 90%. Chemistry on the Boranils allows grafting of photoactive modules acting as energy antennae for borondipyrromethene (Bodipy) and subphtalocyanine (SubPc) fluorophores.
