title: Direct functionalization at the boron center of antiaromatic chloroborole.
abstract: The presence of a reactive B-Cl bond allowed for the direct functionalization of the boron center in antiaromatic chloroborole ClBC4Ph4, thus allowing for a selective fine tuning of the optical properties of borole derivatives and facilitating a potential new approach toward the introduction of borole moieties into the backbone of organic pi-conjugated frameworks.
