It is challenging to realize the near-infrared (NIR) emission with large brightness and sharp spectra from the conjugated polymers. In this study, we demonstrate the strategy for receiving strong and pure NIR emission from polymeric materials using organoboron complexes and the modification after polymerization. A series of NIR emissive conjugated polymers with boron di(iso)indomethenes (BODINs) and fluorene or bithiophene were synthesized by SuzukiMiyaura coupling reaction. The obtained polymers exhibited high emissions in the range from deep-red to NIR region (quantum yields: phi PL = 0.400.79, full width at half maximum height: 1/2 = 660940 cm1, emission maxima: PL = 686714 nm). Next, the demethylation of the BODIN-based polymer with o-methoxyphenyl groups was carried out. The transformation of the polymer structure quantitatively proceeded via efficient intramolecular crosslinking through the intermediary of the boron atom. Finally, the resulting polymer showed both drastically larger red-shifted and sharper photoluminescence spectrum than that of the parent polymer with deep-red emission (phi PL = 0.37, 1/2 = 460 cm1, PL = 758 nm).
