22. The structure and purity of the molecules were proven by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, as well as by NMR spectroscopy; the detailed synthesis and characterizations are shown in the Supporting Information.
23. 1H NMR spectra of 1a and 1b at roomtem perature exhibit significant line broadening and differ fromthose of hexaalkylphenyl-substituted HBCs. The broad and less-structured emission spectra of 1a and 1b were also different fromhexaalkylphenyl-substituted HBCs with more resolved bands.
