title: Synthesis of pi-conjugated dendrimers based on azaborines.
abstract: pi-Conjugated dendrons and dendrimers based on dibenzoazaborine were synthesized. The azaborine dendrons exhibited strong light absorption and photoluminescence, reflecting the optical properties of the azaborine. The fluorescence from the azaborine dendrimers bearing a benzothiadiazole core was strongly red-shifted or quenched, indicating photoinduced electron transfer from the azaborine dendrons to the core unit.
