Synthesis and reactivity of a bis(dimesitylboryl)azaborine and its fluoride sensing ability

Tomohiro Agou, Masaki Sekine, Junji Kobayashi and Takayuki Kawashima

An azaborine bearing two dimesitylboryl groups on its periphery showed very strong light absorption and moderate photo-luminescence emission; the reaction of the title compound with fluoride ion resulted in multi-step fluoride ion complexation on the boron atoms of the dimesitylboryl groups, producing mono- and bisfluoroborates.
