Outline of Final Research Achievements

Various types of boron-containing functional pi-electron materials have been developed, which exhibit intriguing reactivity as well as photophysical and electronic properties due to the electron-deficient character of the tricoordinate boron isoelectronic with a carbenium ion. For example, we have discovered two new photoreaction modes of organoboranes. We have also successfully prepared a series of planarized boron-containing pi-electron materials as the models of boron-doped graphenes. In particular, we have prepared a columnar liquid crystalline material with ambipolar charge carrier transporting properties using a planarized triphenylborane as a mesogen.
