T1 - Aggregation-Induced Dual Phosphorescence from (o-Bromophenyl)-Bis(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)Borane at Room Temperature JF - Chemistry—A European Journal N2 - Designing highly efficient purely organic phosphors at room temperature remains a challenge because of fast non-radiative processes and slow intersystem crossing (ISC) rates. The majority of them emit only single component phosphorescence. Herein, we have prepared 3 isomers (o, m, p-bromophenyl)-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)boranes. Among the 3 isomers (o-, m- and p-BrTAB) synthesized, the ortho-one is the only one which shows dual phosphorescence, with a short lifetime of 0.8 ms and a long lifetime of 234 ms in the crystalline state at room temperature. Based on theoretical calculations and crystal structure analysis of o-BrTAB, the short lifetime component is ascribed to the T\(^M_1\) state of the monomer which emits the higher energy phosphorescence. The long-lived, lower energy phosphorescence emission is attributed to the T\(^A_1\) state of an aggregate, with multiple intermolecular interactions existing in crystalline o-BrTAB inhibiting nonradiative decay and stabilizing the triplet states efficiently.

T1 - Copper-Catalyzed Triboration of Terminal Alkynes Using B\(_2\)pin\(_2\): Efficient Synthesis of 1,1,2-Triborylalkenes JF - Angewandte Chemie International Edition N2 - We report herein the catalytic triboration of terminal alkynes with B\(_2\)pin\(_2\) (bis(pinacolato)diboron) using readily available Cu(OAc)\(_2\) and P\(^n\)Bu\(_3\). Various 1,1,2‐triborylalkenes, a class of compounds that have been demonstrated to be potential matrix metalloproteinase (MMP‐2) inhibitors, were obtained directly in moderate to good yields. The process features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance. This copper‐catalyzed reaction can be conducted on a gram scale to produce the corresponding 1,1,2‐triborylalkenes in modest yields. The utility of these products was demonstrated by further transformations of the C−B bonds to prepare gem ‐dihaloborylalkenes (F, Cl, Br), monohaloborylalkenes (Cl, Br), and trans ‐diaryldiborylalkenes, which serve as important synthons and have previously been challenging to prepare.
