Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent times, Boron-based compounds with excellent physicochemical properties have found applications in almost all aspects of modern material industries. Moreover, the boron atom incorporation in any π-conjugated systems has resulted in an efficient photoluminescence quantum yield, showing bright luminescence mostly via triple harvesting mechanisms.
By utilizing the high luminescent tricoordinate/tetracoordinate boron-embedded materials, various applications received increasing amounts of attention, such as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), sensors, X-ray scintillators, and many more optoelectronic devices.
On the other hand, very recently, B/N-embedded multiresonant TADF materials (symmetrical and unsymmetrical) were synthesized via one-pot/one-shot multiple borylations as well, which are difficult to scale-up; however, these are very important for OLEDs due to their efficient narrowband emission spectra.
This Special Issue of Symmetry features all types of contributions based on Boron-embedded compounds with tunable unique optical properties.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
