Abstract

diboron-substituted isomer 8 exhibiting slightly anodically shifted reduction potentials. These results demonstrate that diboron and digermanium doping provides a promising platform for the development of stable, emissive, and redox-active polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Fields of Study & Subjects
