Abstract:We developed an efficient one-pot strategy for the facile synthesis of novel double boron–oxygen-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (dBO-PAHs) with high regioselectivity and efficient skeletal editing. The BO-fused rings exhibit low aromaticity, endowing the dBO-PAHs with high chemical and thermal stabilities. The incorporation of the B–O units enables the dBO-PAHs to show single-component, low-temperature ultralong afterglow of up to 20 s after UV excitation. Moreover, the dBO-PAHs can also serve as ideal… Show more
