Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on the boron "element-blocks", we have developed the series of functional materials. We obtained the amorphous films having high electron-carrier ability with boron "element-block". By using AIE-inducible organoboron "element-block", several types of optically-functional materials were developed. Simply by introducing "element-block" composed of organoboron complexes in the conjugated system and connecting with other functional units, solid-state emissive materials can be readily produced. Additionally, by the combination with stimuli-responsivity of the materials, emissive chemical sensors can be constructed. By computer calculations, these mechanism can be clearly explained. Furthermore, we accomplished to fabricate new materials according to the preprogrammed design by combination with boron "element-block" and theoretical prediction. It can be said that various tactics for material designs were able to be established during this research.
