Initiated by the effective dibromination of syn-BN-heteroacenes, a series of BN-containing conjugated oligomers was successfully synthesized upon transition-metal-catalyzed cross coupling. Their electronic structures can be finely tailored through varying the fused backbone or terminal substituents, endowing them with tunable luminescent properties within blue-violet regions.
