Summary:Boron-based stimuli responsive systems represent an emerging class of useful materials with a wide variety of applications. Functions within these boron-doped molecules are derived from external stimuli such as light, heat, and force, which alter their intra- and/or intermolecular interactions, yielding unique electronic/photophysical or mechanical properties that can be exploited as optical probes or switchable materials. In this review, the various state-switching mechanisms of these boron-based materials will be introduced, followed by a detailed account of recent advances in the field. Emphasis will be placed on structure-property relationships and the potential applications of the stimuli-responsive boron compounds.
