Abstract
Anthanthrene (1) derivatives substituted at the 4,10 and 6,12 positions (2−6) were synthesized as promising candidates for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The emission of these compounds can be manipulated in the blue region (λmax = 437−467 nm) through structural modifications. Photophysical and electrochemical properties (φF = 0.20−0.47; τF = 2.97−6.06 ns; HOMO−LUMO energy gap = 2.25−2.56 eV) as well as geometry optimized structures of 1−6 are reported.
