title: Triarylboryl-functionalized dibenzoylmethane and its phosphorescent platinum(II) complexes.
abstract: An acetylacetonato derivative ligand, dibenzoylmethane (dbm), has been functionalized with a dimesitylboryl group. Phosphorescent N^C-chelate Pt(II) compounds with the new molecule as an ancillary ligand have been achieved and used as effective turn-on phosphorescent sensors for fluoride ions under air.
