Despite the great potential of both π-conjugated organoboron polymers and BN-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in organic optoelectronics, our knowledge of conjugated polymers with B?N bonds in their main chain is currently scarce. Herein, the first examples of a new class of organic–inorganic hybrid polymers are presented, which consist of alternating NBN and para-phenylene units. Polycondensation with B?N bond formation provides facile access to soluble materials under mild conditions. The photophysical data for the polymer and molecular model systems of different chain lengths reveal a low extent of π-conjugation across the NBN units, which is supported by DFT calculations. The applicability of the new polymers as macromolecular polyligands is demonstrated by a cross-linking reaction with ZrIV.

The dehydrocoupling/dehydrogenation behavior of primary arylamine-borane adducts ArNH2·BH3 (3-a-c; Ar=a: Ph, b: p-MeOC 6H4, c: p-CF3C6H4) has been studied in detail both in solut
