A useful building block for the construction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) anthracene
Used in OFETs and OLEDs devices.
2-Bromoanthracene (CAS number 7321-27-9) is one of the many mono-brominated anthracene derivatives. Like its isomer 9-bromoanthracene, it is one of the useful building blocks for the construction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) anthracenes that are used in OFETs and OLEDs devices.
Top contact organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) based on2-(anthracen-2-yl)tetracene (TetAnt), a p-type tetracene derivatives showed a hole mobility of up to 0.79 cm2 V-1 s-1. 2-(Anthracen-2-yl)-5-hexylthieno[3,2-b]thiophene (ASCTT) also achieved a high hole mobility of 0.1 cm2 V-1 s-1 and demonstrated the very efficient, trap-limited photoconductive behaviour with a photoresponsivity up to 3370 A/W. OLED device based on a mixture of blue emitting 2-fluorenyl-2-anthracene and greenish-yellow emitting 2-anthryl-2-anthracence showed unusual solid-state white-light emission with the CIE coordinates (0.33, 0.34) at 10 V.
