Abstract A family of neutral and anionic carboranyl derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (closo-/nido-OXD) and sulfones (closo-/nido-DPS) were prepared and fully characterized. While the closo-compounds were poorly emissive in THF, the corresponding nido-compounds exhibited intense emission with high quantum yields (ΦPL = 0.30-0.45). The results suggested that the nonemissive nature of closo-compounds can be ascribed to the contribution of o-carborane to the LUMO in the S1 excited state and the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state from the nido-carborane to acceptor moieties is responsible for the efficient fluorescence in nido-compounds. The addition of fluoride to the THF solution of closo-OXD and -DPS led to strong emission, allowing turn-on fluorescence detection of fluoride anions. Furthermore, the nido-compounds in solid states exhibited highly efficient ICT emissions (ΦPL = 0.46-0.75), demonstrating that nido-carborane acted as an good donor due to its strong electron-donating properties.
