“…BN-PhOH, BN-PhOCH 3 , and BN-PhN(CH 3 ) 2 demonstrated small reorganization energies of 0.1220, 0.1174, and 0.1269 eV, respectively, which indicated that the linked phenyl moieties were effective to inhibit the vibrational coupling and remain the color purity (Supporting Information, Figure S9). [6] The electrochemical behaviors of the three molecules were further determined from the cyclic voltammograms (CV) (Supporting Information, Figure S10) and the key data were listed in Table 1. The HOMO energy levels of BN-PhOH, BN-PhOCH 3 , and BN-PhN(CH 3 ) 2 are À 5.32 eV, À 5.37 eV, and À 5.15 eV, respectively, according to the onset potential of the oxidation curves.…”
