title: The first observation of electroluminescence from di(2-naphthyl)disilene, an Si=Si double bond-containing π-conjugated compound.
abstract: Air-stable, room-temperature emissive di(2-naphthyl)disilene, protected by the bulky 1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octaethyl-s-hydrindacen-4-yl (Eind) groups, can emit light in an organic light-emitting diode, thus providing the first experimental demonstration of electroluminescence from the heavy group 14 unsaturated compounds.
