The invention provides three-coordinated organoboron compounds that are useful for photoluminescence and electroluminescence. Compounds of the invention include light emitters, preferably emitting intense blue light, electron transporters, hole transporters and hole injectors. A particularly preferred such compound is p-(1-naphthylphenylamino)-4,4′-biphenyldimesitylborane (BNPB), which demonstrates all of these properties. The invention further provides methods of synthesizing such three-coordinated boron compounds, methods of producing photoluminescence and electroluminescence, methods for charge transports, methods for hole injection, methods of applying the compounds in thin films, and uses of the compounds of the invention in luminescent probes, and electroluminescent displays.
