| Three-coordinate organoboron compounds are well known for their applications in non-linear optical materials, luminescent sensors, organic light emitting diodes and catalysis. Incorporation of three-coordinate organoboron units into transition metal complexes allows the exploitation of photophysical properties and chemical reactivity of metal ions, thus enabling the discovery of new utilities of organoboron compounds. We have developed several new ligand systems that contain three-coordinate boron centers. We have examined the coordination chemistry of these boron-bearing ligands. The new transition metal complexes display unique capabilities for binding and detecting anions. The impact of the boron center on the reactivity of metal complexes is currently being examined and the details will be presented. |
