Boroles get a stability boost
09/27/2017Scientists from Germany have reported a breakthrough in borole stability
Scientists from Germany have reported a breakthrough in borole stability, using bulky fluoromesityl groups, which could help these anti-aromatic molecules realise their potential in optoelectronic devices.1
Boroles are heterocycles with a 4π-electron BC4 ring and subsequent electron-accepting abilities. This makes them great candidates for electron-transporting and accepting materials in organic light-emitting diodes and photovoltaics.
