Abstract
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(3-methylbutyl)-9H-fluoren-2-yl]pyrene, were successfully synthesized via a Pd/Cu-catalysed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of the corresponding bromopyrenes with 7-tert-butyl-1-pyrenylboronic ester or 2-[9,9-bis(3-methylbutyl)-9H-fluoren-2-yl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl[1,3,2] dioxaborolane, respectively. All compounds have good solubility in common organic solvents and high thermal stability with melting points up to 270 °C; the exceptions are the isomeric 1,6-bis-, and 1,8-bispyrenyl-substituted pyrenes. All products show high extinction coefficients of absorption (kmax 349-396 nm) and high quantum yields (kmax 432-465 nm; Uf 0.75-0.99) in dichloromethane solution, and emit strong fluorescence in the visible region ranging from deep-blue to pure-blue on increasing the number of substituents. This data suggests that such systems have promise as blue emitters in organic light-emitting device (OLED) applications (OLED = organic light emitting diode). Crystal structures were determined for 1,3,6,8-tetrakis [9,9-bis(3-methylbutyl) -9H-fluoren-2-yl] pyrene and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrene. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
