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

Three 8-hydroxyquinolato (q) boron compounds B(C 2 H 5 ) 2 q ( 1 ), BPh 2 q ( 2 ), and B(2-naph) 2 q ( 3 ) have been synthesized by the reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline with an appropriate BR 3 compound. Compounds 1 − 3 have a tetrahedral geometry as demonstrated by the structure of 1 determined by a ... View More
