Synthesis, Structure, and Electroluminescence of BR₂q (R = Et, Ph, 2-Naphthyl and q = 8-Hydroxyquinolato)

Three 8-hydroxyquinolato (q) boron compounds B(C2H5)2q (1), BPh2q (2), and B(2-naph)2q (3) have been synthesized by the reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline with an appropriate BR3 compound. Compounds 1−3 have a tetrahedral geometry as demonstrated by the structure of 1 determined by a single-crystal X-ra... View More
