The present study not only provides a rare example of organic crystals with highly efficient red fluorescence but also indicates the possible application of four-coordinate boron materials in organic solid-state lasers.

the closed forms of the dithienylethene‐containingβ‐diketonates show near‐infrared response and the photochromicbehavior was also found to be affected by the aryl substituents at the 3‐position of the β‐diketonates. Moreover, computationalstudies have been performed that help to provide an understanding of the effect of substituents on the photophysical and photochromic properties.
A series of dithienylethene‐containing boron(III) ketoiminates, as well as their corresponding β‐ketoimine ligands, have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical, electrochemical, and photochromic properties of the compounds have been studied. Photocyclization has been found to be suppressed upon introduction of a phenyl substituent on the nitrogen atom of the β‐ketoiminate core, whereas

A versatile dithienylethene-containing beta-diketonate ligand and its boron(III) compounds have been successfully synthesized. Upon photocyclization, the ligand shows a new absorption band at 630 nm with good fatigue resistance and high thermal stability. Incorporation of the boron center has been demonstrated to shift the photochromic behavior to the NIR region.
