[A] Instrumentation and Materials1H and 13C NMR spectra were taken on a JEOL ECS-400 spectrometer, and chemical shifts are

reported as the delta scale in ppm using a solvent residual peak as an internal reference ( = 7.260

for 1H NMR, 77.00 for 13C NMR, in CDCl3). UV/vis absorption spectra were recorded on a

Shimadzu UV-2600 spectrophotometer. Fluorescence spectra were recorded on a JASCO FP-750 or

on a Hamamatsu Photonics C9920-02 spectrometer by the photon-counting method using an

integration sphere. HR mass spectra were taken on a Bruker micrOTOF. Unless otherwise noted,

materials obtained from commercial suppliers were used without further purification.

[B] Experimental Procedures and Compound Data

Synthesis of 5a and 6a. A flask containing 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1-bromocarbazole (3a)[S1] (359 mg,

1.00 mmol), benzobisthiazole (4)[S2] (48.1 mg, 251 mol), Pd(OAc)2 (22.5 mg, 100 mol), CuBr2

purged with N2, charged with mesitylene (4 mL), and degassed. The mixture was heated at 160 C

for 16 h under N2. After cooling to rt, the mixture was diluted with CHCl3, washed with water, and

Synthesis of 2g. A flask containing 6b (148 mg, 249 mol), 3d

(336 mg, 501 mol), Pd(OAc)2 (11.7 mg, 52.0 mol), CuBr2 (11.5

mg, 51.6 mol), HP(t-Bu)3BF4 (28.6 mg, 98.6 mol), and Cs2CO3

(81.0 mg, 248 mol) was purged with N2, charged with mesitylene (4 mL), and degassed. The

mixture was heated at 160 C for 48 h under N2. After cooling to rt, the mixture was diluted with

CHCl3, washed with water, and evaporated. Excess mesitylene was removed by distillation. The

residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with CHCl3, recrystallized from CHCl3/MeOH,

and then purified by GPC with CHCl3 to give 5g as a crude product. The crude product was

dissolved in dry toluene (4.0 mL). Diisopropylethylamine (0.66 mL, 3.8 mmol) and then BF3·OEt2

(0.24 mL, 1.9 mmol) were added, and the mixture was heated at 80 C for 1.5 h under N2. After the

solvents were removed, the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with CHCl3/hexane

to give 2g as a red solid (73.6 mg, 57.5 mol, 23%).1H NMR (CDCl3) δ = 9.18 (s, 1H, Hf or Hg), 9.17 (s, 1H, Hf or Hg), 8.64 (d, J = 1.2 Hz, 1H, Hi),

Ar), 7.91 (dd, J = 1.6, 8.4 Hz, 1H, Hk), 7.90 (s, 1H, p-Ar), 7.86 (s, 1H, Hc), 7.72 (d, J = 0.8 Hz, 1H,

He), 7.40 (dd, J = 1.4, 8.6 Hz, 1H, Hb), 7.06 (s, 2H, m-Mes), 7.01 (s, 2H, m-Mes), 2.41 (s, 3H, p-

Mes), 2.38 (s, 3H, p-Mes), 2.12 (s, 6H, o-Mes), and 2.10 ppm (s, 6H, o-Mes); 13C NMR couldn’t

detect peaks due to serious low solubility; HR-MS (APCl): m/z = 1278.2675. calcd for

C66H40N4S2B2F16: 1278.2650 [M]−; UV/Vis (CH2Cl2) max () = 309 (42500), 343 (29600), 364

[F] X-ray Crystal Structures

Single crystals of 2a and 7 were obtained by the vapor diffusion method (chlorobenzene/EtOH

for 2a and CH2Cl2/MeOH for 7). X-ray data at 93 K were taken on a Rigaku-Raxis-RAPID imaging

plate system with Cu-Kα radiation (λ = 1.54187 Å), and structures were processed and refined by

CrystalStructure and Yadokari. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically and the

hydrogen atoms were calculated in ideal positions.

Fig. S2 Crystal structures of (a) 2a and (b) 7. Hydrogen atoms and solvent molecules are

omitted for clarity. The thermal ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. Selected bond

distances (Å) are shown. Mean plane deviations (MPV) are calculated for the atoms excluding the

peripheral substituents.
