With the aid of borylation and oxidative coupling reactions, six new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) doped by nitrogen-boron-nitrogen (NBN) units were achieved. The structure-optoelectronic property relationship for this group of compounds was examined. All six compounds are fluorescent with contrasting emission colors and quantum yields.
