“…Boron-containing organic molecules have been studied for their mesogenic properties along with luminescence properties ( Camerel et al, 2007 ; Maeda et al, 2010 ; Olivier et al, 2010 ; Sánchez et al, 2010 ; Turanova et al, 2010 ; Benstead et al, 2011a , 2011b ; Maeda et al, 2011 ; Olivier et al, 2012 ; Bando et al, 2013 ; Giziroglu et al, 2014 ; Sánchez et al, 2014 ; Fang et al, 2017 ; Feng et al, 2018 ; Xiong et al, 2018 ; Cheng et al, 2019 ; Liu et al, 2019 ). The very first reports were put forward by Turanova et al wherein the boron difluoride-diketonate complex obtained from a non-mesogenic diketonate exhibited liquid crystalline properties along with photoluminescent properties ( Turanova et al, 2006 ). In concurrence with the previous section, this mini-review will focus on the advances made using diketonates and ketoiminates in the past few years ( Figure 2 ).…”
