56. The redox splitting of 700 mV for BDT2 is comparable to that of Kaim's 1,4-bis(dimesitylboryl)benzene (690 mV):, A. Schulz, W. Kaim, Chem. Ber. 1989, 122, 1863-1868.
57. Almost identical UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence data are observed in the solid state. A thin film of FBDT2 shows a slightly enhanced fluorescence with a quantum yield of 1.8 % (see Figure S9 a in the Supporting Information).

59. This finding is consistent with earlier results by Yamaguchi et al. See Ref. [6a].
60. The binding process was also monitored by NMR titrations (see Figures S10-12 in the Supporting Information), and the reversibility confirmed by treatment with a large amount of water (see Figure S13 in the Supporting Information).
