“…Fluoranthene is a cyclopentene-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and its chemical structure was elucidated by Whalley et al in 1952. 32 Due to its unique chemical structure, fluoranthene has been studied extensively for its anomalous photophysical properties. 33,34 Along with the theoretical study of fluoranthene and its derivatives, efforts have been carried out to develop the facile synthesis of fluoranthene derivatives.…”

Efficient Blue‐Light‐Emitting Electroluminescent Devices with a Robust Fluorophore: 7,8,10‐Triphenylfluoranthene

“…After the elucidation of the structure of fluoranthene at the turn of the 20th century, the chemistry of fluoranthenes evolved rapidly. [4] Studies of the interesting photophysical properties [5,6] followed, but interest in fluoranthenes faded fast. Of particular note is the synthesis of fluoranthene derivatives by a double Knoevenagel condensation between 2-propanone and acenaphthenequinone, which allows functionalization at the carbon 7 and 10 positions.…”

Fluoranthene-Based Molecules as Electron Transport and Blue Fluorescent Materials for Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

“…33 In 1952, Whalley et al established the chemical structure of fluoranthene. 34 The photophysical properties of fluoranthene and its derivatives always been intriguing to the theorists and fascinating to the chemists. [35][36][37][38] The better thermal and electrochemical stability, wide band gap, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), and apparent resistance towards oxygen quenching of fluoranthene derivatives have led to the utilization in various optoelectronics devices.…”
