Abstract

A series of O,O-chelated boron complexes was prepared through a four-component Ugi reaction followed by complexation of the resulting 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with boron trifluoride diethyl etherate. The optical properties of these novel luminophores were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and spectrofluorometry, revealing pronounced aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features.
