A series of new dispiro[fluorene-9',6,9'',12-indeno[1,2b]fluorenes] (DSF-IFs) has been synthesised. These new building blocks for blue-light-emitting devices and electroactive polymers combine indenofluorene (IF) and spirobifluorene (SBF) properties. We report here our synthetic investigations towards these new structures and their thermal, structural, photophysical and electrochemical properties. These properties have been compared to those of IF and SBF. We also report the anodic oxidation of DSF-IFs that leads to the formation of non-soluble transparent three-dimensional polymers. The structural and electrochemical behaviour of these polymers has been studied. The first application of these building blocks as new blue-light-emitting materials in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) is also reported.
[reaction: see text] A series of new dispiro[fluorene-9',6,9' ',12-indeno[1,2b]fluorenes] (DSFIFs) that combine indenofluorene (IF) and spirobifluorene (SBF) architectural specificities have been prepared. Their anodic oxidations lead to the formation of nonsoluble transparent polymers. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of these new molecules have been evaluated for further blue OLED applications.
Thermal decomposition of hindered amine-borane adducts leads in high yields to monomeric (dialkylamino)boranes R1R2N-BH2 (R1 and R2 = alkyl) that are new and efficient boron-sources in the Pd0 catalyzed borylation reaction affording monomeric aryl(dialkylamino)boranes R1R2N-BHR3 (R3 = aryl).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
