Highly Emissive Far Red/Near‐IR Fluorophores Based on Borylated Fluorene–Benzothiadiazole Donor–Acceptor Materials

摘要

Stille, Suzuki–Miyaura and Negishi cross‐coupling reactions of bromine‐functionalised borylated precursors enable the facile, high yielding, synthesis of borylated donor–acceptor materials that contain electron‐rich aromatic units and/or extended effective conjugation lengths. These materials have large Stokes shifts, low LUMO energies, small band‐gaps and significant fluorescence emission >700 nm in solution and when dispersed in a host polymer.
