Since 1999, direct borylation of hydrocarbons catalyzed by a transition metal complex has
been extensively studied by several groups and has become an economical, efficient …

The C–H coupling of aromatic heterocycles with bis (pinacolato) diboron was carried out in
octane at 80–100° C in the presence of a 1/2 [IrCl (COD)] 2-(4, 4′-di-tert-butyl-2, 2 …

An iridium (I) complex generated from 1/2 [Ir (OMe)(COD)] 2 and 4, 4′‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2, 2′‐
bipyridine catalyzed the direct borylation of 2‐substituted thiophenes, furans and pyrroles in …

Thiophenebisboronic derivatives (acids and esters) have been successfully utilized for the
first time in palladium-catalyzed Suzuki polycondensations to prepare well-defined …

A series of novel N-carbazole end-capped oligofluorene-thiophenes with one, two, three,
and four thiophene rings were synthesized using either palladium catalyzed cross-coupling …

A series of novel N-carbazole end-capped oligothiophene-fluorenes was synthesized using
Ullmann coupling, bromination, and Suzuki coupling reactions. The optical, thermal, and …

A series of oligofluorene-thiophenes end-capped with 3, 6-di-tert-butylcarbazole and pyrene
were designed and synthesized for application as color tunable emissive materials for …

A series of new α, α′-bis (9, 9-bis-n-hexylfluorenyl)-substituted oligothiophenes with 2-, 4-,
and 6-thiophene rings have been synthesized via a nickel-catalyzed reductive dimerization …

The sulfur‐containing nine‐membered heterocycle thiacyclononene (TN) was evaluated as
a new type of end‐capping group for π‐conjugated systems. A systematic study on TN …

Recent studies on the developments of the metal-catalyzed new borylation reactions by bis-
(pinacolato) diboron (1) are described. The 1, 4-addition of 1 to a,/3-unsaturated carbonyl …
