title: Large rigid blue-emitting pi-conjugated stilbenoid-based dendrimers: Synthesis and properties.
abstract: Two large pi-conjugated dendrimers (G0 and G1) employing the stilbenoid moiety as the bridge unit have been developed through the Suzuki and the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions. The molecular weight of G1 is 10 973 Da. Both G0 and G1 have good fluorescence quantum yields and exhibit similar absorption and emission behaviors in solutions and in thin films. They emit strong blue fluorescence in films under the irradiation of UV light.
