Abstract:Covering an exceptionally wide range of bond strengths, the dynamic nature and facile tunability of dative B−N bonds is highly attractive when it comes to the assembly of supramolecular polymers and materials. This Minireview offers an overview of advances in the development of functional materials where Lewis pairs (LPs) play a key role in their assembly and critically influence their properties. Specifically, we describe the reversible assembly of linear polymers with interesting optical, electronic and cata… Show more
