A double brominated naphthalene intermediate
Used for the preparation of semiconducting molecules in application of thin-film transistors, cathode Interfacial material and non-fullerene acceptors for OPVs, and hole-transporting hosts for OLEDs.
2,6-Dibromonaphthalene (2,6-DBN), CAS number 13720-06-4, is another double brominated naphthalene derivatives that is used as a building block for constructing small semiconducting molecules or polymers in application of organic photovoltaics, OLEDs and OFETs devices.
2,6-Di(anthracen-2-yl)naphthalene (2,6-DAN) single crystals, obtained by using 2,6-dibromonaphthalene as one of the starting materials, showed bright yellowish-green emission and well-balanced ambipolar charge transport. Moreover, 2,6-di(anthracen-2-yl)naphthalene exhibited charge mobility of up to 19 cm2 V-1 and an absolute fluorescence quantum yield of 37.09% [1]. Organic field-effect transistors based on large bandgap (Ebg = 3.35 eV) organic semiconductor 2,6-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)naphthalene (BOPNA) exhibited a hole mobility of ~1 cm2 V-1 with complete optical transparency in the visible range (>370 nm), very high stability and independence of the device current with illumination conditions.
Phen-NaDPO, bearing a triarylphosphine oxide and a 1,10-phenanthrolinyl unit with naphthalene core possesses a high Tg of 116 °C and attractive electron-transport properties. Phen-NaDPO as a promising cathode interlay material can significantly lower the work function of the Ag metal as well as ITO, and facilitate electron extraction thus considerably improve the PCE of OPV devices.
