Previously unknown 1,10a-dihydro-1-aza-10a-boraphenanthrene and 6a,7-dihydro-7-aza-6a-boratetraphene have been efficiently synthesized. Bromination of these BN-PAHs proceeds with complete regioselectivity, resulting in the formation of different substituted derivatives via cross-coupling reactions. These compounds exhibit rather high fluorescence quantum yields (up to ϕF = 0.80).
