Boron gets its name from the term borax, the mineral from which it was originally isolated, by analogy with carbon due to their chemical similarities. Unlike its neighbor on the periodic table, however, boron only possesses enough valence electrons to form three covalent bonds. This means that organoboron compounds are inherently electron deficient and typically adopt a trigonal‐planar (sp

orbital of boron lying orthogonal to the bonding plane. In this form, boron is isoelectronic and isostructural with a positively charged carbocation, which gives rise to many of the applications often associated with trivalent organoboranes (e.g., organic synthons and electron‐transport materials). Coordinatively saturating these systems with anionic or neutral Lewis bases yields tetrahedral, four‐coordinated boron compounds with a formal negative charge. This new bonding arrangement significantly alters the orbital composition of the resulting molecules, imparting new features such as intense charge transfer (CT) luminescence and, in some cases, unique photochemical reactivities such as photochromism or photoelimination. This chapter will document recent progress in photochemical transformation based on organoboron compounds. A brief overview of concepts related to photophysical and photochemical processes will be presented, followed by an introduction to photochromic systems and a comprehensive review of organoboron photochemistry. Several recently discovered classes of photoresponsive organoboron molecules and their potential applications will be presented.
