Modulation of physical properties of Ter(9,9-ditolylfluorene) by backbone-embedded heteroarenes.
[structure: see text] Novel ter(9,9-ditolylfluorene) analogues containing thiophene and pyridine rings embedded as functional constituents within the parent hydrocarbon backbone have been synthesized. These new molecules exhibit highly efficient photoluminescence and high thermal and morphological stability. The electronic structure of the terfluorene backbone is significantly perturbed, which allows modulation of the backbone energy levels.
