N,N-Dimethylamine and N,N-diphenylamine-decorated highly fluorescent imidazole borates have been synthesized and investigated as new fluorophores for the selective detection of trinitrophenol/picric acid (PA). Structural studies of a probe 1 and PA (1·PA) complex revealed that the adduct formed by the deprotonation of PA by the -NMe group along with weak interactions is responsible for the selective detection of PA over other polynitrated organic compounds.

New salicylaldimine-based diboron complexes 1-3 have been synthesized and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray analysis (1 and 3). The photophysical and electrochemical
