The first rational synthesis of a BN‐doped coronene derivative in which the central benzene ring has been replaced by a borazine core is described. This includes six C−C ring‐closure steps that, through intramolecular Friedel–Crafts‐type reactions, allow the stepwise planarization of the hexaarylborazine precursor. UV/Vis absorption, emission, and electrochemical investigations show that the introduction of the central BN core induces a dramatic widening of the HOMO–LUMO gap and an enhancement of the blue‐shifted emissive properties with respect to its all‐carbon congener.
