Synthesis and Applications of Organic Borazine Materials

Abstract

The past decade has marked a renewed interest in borazines and BN-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This is predominantly because of new advances that have highlighted their potential in various applications, including gas separation and storage, organic (opto)electronics, catalysis, and as supramolecular systems. This review gives a critical overview of the most significant approaches to the synthesis of (substituted) B3N3 motifs and focuses on the discussion of those borazine-doped carbon structures that have been developed for potential use in materials science applications.
