“…Pyrene boronic ester (1) [33] , 1-(6-bormohexyloxy)-4-bromobenzene (2) [34] , 2,7-dibromo-9,9-di(4'-hydroxy)phenylfluorene (3) [35] and 9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diboronic ester (7) [36] were prepared according to the literature. SWCNT was purchased from Shenzhen Nanotechnologies Co. Ltd. All other chemicals were purchased from Aldrich or Acros and used without further purification.…”
Two kinds of polyfluorenes bearing two lateral pyrene terminated alkyl chains and two alkyl chains per repeating unit were synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation and used to disperse single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in organic solvents. Stable polymer-SWCNT complex can be formed via the multivalent π-π stacking interaction of the lateral pyrene functional groups and the polyfluorene backbone with the outer surface of carbon nanotubes; meanwhile the lateral alkyl chains can impart good solubility to the complex. As expected, polyfluorenes bearing lateral pyrene functional groups and octyl chains exhibited much higher carbon nanotube solubility in common organic solvents than the corresponding polyfluorenes bearing only octyl chains. Photophysical studies indicated that the formation of polymer-SWCNT complex can effectively quench the fluorescence of polyfluorenes.

“…Recently, it was reported that pyrene derivatives could be used as blue-emitting compounds in OLEDs via the introduction of long or branched side chains [11][12][13][14][15]. Furthermore, the synthesis of a pyrene-based fluorescent dendrimer has also been reported, wherein the core unit is a 1,3,6,8-tetrasubstituted pyrene and the peripheral units contain monosubstituted pyrene units [11,[16][17][18][19][20][21].…”
Three types of stable pyrene-based highly fluorescence (blue) compounds, 1-, 1,6-bis, 1,8-bis and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(7-tert-butylpyrenyl)pyrenes and 1, 3,6,8-tetrakis[9,9-bis
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.
