Abstract

The first example of aryl-functionalized, butterfly-shaped, highly fluorescent and stable blue-emitting monomers, namely, 7-tert-butyl-1,3,5,9- tetrakis(p-R-phenyl)pyrenes, were synthesized by the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction from a novel bromide precursor of 1,3,5,9-tetrabromo-7- tert-butylpyrene. The crystal structures and optical and electronic properties have been investigated. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
