Abstract:The synthesis and characterization of soluble azaiptycenes is reported. Optical and physical properties were studied and compared with those of the structurally consanguine azaacenes. Electrochemical experiments and quantum-chemical calculations revealed the electronic structure of the iptycene derivatives. Their crystallization behavior was examined. A highly fluorescent amorphous diazatetracene derivative was integrated into a simple organic light-emitting diode, showing enhanced performance compared with th… Show more
“…We demonstrated that triptycene‐carrying diazatetracenes are efficient emitters in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs), increasing the diode's brightness by a factor of more than 200. The effect is likely due to the inhibition of crystallization . While for OLEDs this amorphization is critical, the same might be true for organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs).…”

“…6,13‐Bis((triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)‐5,7,12,14‐tetraazapentacene (TAP; 2 ) forms crystalline films with excellent electron mobilities, however, the direct synthesis of TAP by using the diamine 1 in a condensation with simple ortho ‐quinones or dihalobenzenes (Pd catalyzed) remains challenging (Scheme ), and 2 is typically prepared via the intermediate 5 , followed by its oxidation into 6 and subsequent alkynylation. In contrast, the condensation of stable triptycene‐2,3‐dione with alkynylated diamines is efficient and leads to azaiptycenes in high yields (Scheme ) …”

We describe the synthesis and characterization of novel iptycene-substituted azaacenes by using either a classic condensation route (diamine plus ortho-quinone) and/or a Pd-catalyzed coupling of an aromatic diamine with an aromatic dihalide. The attachment of an iptycene unit leads to a significant blueshift (15 nm) in the UV/Vis spectra of these azaacenes. The iptycene unit stabilizes a hexaazahexacene with a λ of 833 nm. By employing 5,6-diamino(benzothiadiazole) as a synthon for tetraaminobenzene, we could prepare the symmetrical bis-triptycene-substituted tetraazapentacene in high yields.

A two-step method (Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, followed by Scholl oxidation) to triphenylene-based triptycenes is described, rendering a variety of π-extended triptycenes accessible in high yields and without the necessity of column chromatography purification. The versatility of this reaction has been demonstrated in the synthesis of a supertriptycene in only four steps and high yields.
5066 wileyonlinelibrary.com the most intriguing archetypal compounds. For instance, remarkable charge mobilities of up to 4.6 cm 2 V −1 s −1 for its solution-sheared thin fi lms applied in OFETs have been achieved. [ 8 ] Recently, the same authors have demonstrated that the control of the structural arrangement in fi lms boosts the fi eld-effect mobility to remarkable values of 11 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . [ 9 ] In addition, this molecule has recently emerged as a paradigm to study singlet fi ssion process in both solution and thin fi lms, owing to its triplet quantum yield formation exceeding values of 100%. [ 5,6,[10][11][12][13] Finally, the sharp red emission at around 650 nm and the moderate photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) when dispersed in a thin fi lm with the electrontransporting host tris(quinoline-8-olato)-aluminum(III) (Alq 3 ) prompted Kafafi and Anthony groups to fabricate the fi rst OLEDs based on trialkylsilylethynyl-substitute pentacenes. [ 14,15 ] As the most remarkable result, the authors demonstrated that through a proper design of the molecular structure a near quantitative internal quantum effi ciency based on the PLQYs of the active layer is realized. [ 16 ] Encouraged by this excellent result, we decided to probe the performance of the archetypal TIPS-pentacene as an emitter in small molecule light-emitting electrochemical cells (SM-LECs).LECs have emerged as an interesting alternative to OLEDs due to the single-layer device architecture based on air-stable electrodes, the high power effi ciencies at very low operation voltages, and the low-cost manufacturing process on any 3D-shaped substrate. [17][18][19][20][21][22] These assets are possible due to the unique mechanism as the active layer comprises a blend of mobile ions and mostly one electroactive compound. [23][24][25][26][27] Up to date, the most representative materials for LECs have been mixtures of a light-emitting polymer, an ion conducting polymer, and an inorganic salt, as well as mixtures of ionic transition-metal complexes (iTMCs) and ionic liquids. [19][20][21] However, Edman and co-workers have recently demonstrated that the LEC concept can be easily expanded to small molecule (SM) materials. [ 28 ] This result represents a landmark toward future breakthroughs in the fi eld, especially if we take into account the very recent achievements in SM-based OLEDs that are considered as the new momentum heading into the third generation of this technology, [29][30][31][32][33] as well as SMs are considered as the third generation of materials for LECs, which is now in its early infancy.
