Novel N-aryl-substituted 2-borylbenzaldimines 6 and related systems with extended π-framework 7 based on two borylbenzaldimine units linked by a spacer moiety were synthesized by condensation reactions of 2-(dimesitylboryl) benzaldehyde 3 with various amines 4 and diamines 5. All compounds were completely characterized including X-ray diffraction, especially in view of Lewis acid-base B-O and B-N interactions. The electronic as well as the photophysical properties of bisimines 7 were determined using cyclic voltammetry, UV/vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. These compounds feature large Stokes shifts and reversible reduction waves. Interestingly, UV irradiation experiments unfold enhanced photostability for compounds 7 with an extended π-skeleton. By use of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene we observed the formation of a hitherto unknown BN-heterocyclic compound 9 fused with a perimidine skeleton. Structural and energetic aspects were evaluated by high level quantum chemical methods (DFT and SCS-MP2-calculations).

Lithiation of 2-(2-bromophenyl)-dioxolane (1) followed by reaction with dimesitylboron fluoride afforded 2-(2-dimesitylborylphenyl)-dioxolane (2) which was deprotected to afford 2-dimesitylboryl-benzaldehyde (3). Compound 3 reacts with aliphatic amines such as n-butylamine and ethanolamine to afford the corresponding imines 2-(dimesitylboryl)benzylidenebutylamine (4) and 2-(dimesitylboryl)benzylideneethanolamine (5), respectively. Structural studies indicate coordination of the imine-nitrogen atom to the boron center. Imines 4 and 5 emit a green fluorescence near 510 nm with quantum yields approaching 10 %. TD-DFT calculations suggest that this emission arises from an intramolecular charge-transfer excited state.
