Carborane Photochemistry Triggered by Aryl Substitution: Carborane‐Based Dyads with Phenyl Carbazoles

Abstract

A bright combination: a new type of donor-acceptor dyad, carbazolylaryl-substituted ortho-carboranes, which are conveniently prepared from the corresponding acetylenes and decaborane pathways, showed unique excited-state behavior associated with electron transfer unlike the meta- and para-counterparts.
