“…Meanwhile, carbazole building block is easy to be functionalized at either nitrogen or aromatic backbones. With all these advantages, carbazole has been widely used and studied in photoluminescent and electronic materials (Grazulevicius et al, 2003; Kundu et al, 2003; Grigalevicius, 2006; Blouin and Leclerc, 2008; Karpicz et al, 2010; Chen et al, 2011; Li et al, 2012; Ooyama et al, 2012; Uoyama et al, 2012; Nishimoto et al, 2014; Yang et al, 2016; Wex and Kaafarani, 2017; Meier et al, 2019). o -Carborane (1,2-dicarba- closo -dodecaborane) hosts electronic deficient property due to the uniquely delocalized 3-center-2-electron bond on its electron withdrawing icosahedron boron cluster skeleton, and possesses highly polarized σ-aromatic character (Naito et al, 2015; Cho et al, 2016; Wu X. Y. et al, 2018).…”
