Abstract: | A small‐molecule‐based boron(III)‐containing donor–acceptor compound has been designed and synthesized. Interesting goldlike reflective behavior was observed in the neat thin‐film sample from simple spin‐coating preparation, which can serve as a potential organic thin‐film optical reflector. The small thickness in nanometer range and the relatively smooth surface morphology, together with simple preparation and easy solution processability, are attractive features for opening up new avenues for the fabrication of reflective coatings. Moreover, this donor–acceptor compound has been employed in the fabrication of organic resistive memory device, which exhibited good performance with low turn‐on voltage, small operating bias, large ON/OFF ratio, and long retention time. |
