Hybrid Benzimidazole–Imidazole Carbodicarbene Ligands Control Deep-Red Emission from Photostable Borenium Ions

Abstract Carbodicarbenes (CDCs) are exceptionally strong neutral ligands used in main-group chemistry. Their combined σ- and π-donor abilities stabilize highly electrophilic main-group element centers while allowing the frontier orbitals and photophysical properties of their comp...
