Structurally Constrained Boron-, Nitrogen-, Silicon-, and Phosphorus-Centered Polycyclic π-Conjugated Systems

Incorporation of main group elements into the π-conjugated frameworks is a sophisticated strategy to alter the fundamental nature of the parent conjugated π-systems, giving rise to attractive electronic and photophysical properties that are otherwise inaccessible with classic carbon- or metal-based materials. Out of all π-conjugated heterocycles, those that are structurally constrained by tethered aryl substituents surrounding the main group center deserve a great deal of attention because not only do they commonly possess the maximum efficiency of π-conjugation and intermolecular interaction, but they also enjoy remarkable thermal and morphological stabilities that are especially crucial for solid-state…
