The synthesis, functionalization and characterization of borepin-based extended pi-electron molecules is disclosed. Bulky substituents shielded the vacant boron p-orbitals thus allowing synthetic manipulation and purification under ambient lab conditions. The presently disclosed borepin-containing compounds displayed reversible cathodic electrochemistry and can be viewed as n-type analogues to bent acene hydrocarbons.
