1,2‐Azaborine Cations

Positively brilliant: The first examples of 1,2-azaborine cations have been prepared and their structure and optoelectronic properties characterized (see picture). 1,2-Azaborine cations exhibit solid-state fluorescence that is distinct from their neutral all-carbon analogues, and the 1,2-azaborine moiety is a critical component for the optoelectronic properties. There is a potential for the utility of these complexes in materials applications. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information".
