Couple-close construction of non-classical boron cluster-phosphonium conjugates

Heteropolycyclic molecular systems, which are essential components in the fields of materials and pharmacology, frequently consist of 2D extended organic aromatic rings. Here, we introduce a type of inorganic-organic hybrid 3D conjugates by merging an aromatic boron cluster with a phosphine and a ?-conjugated unit. To achieve this, a couple-close synthetic strategy via B–H activation
