10,15-Dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3',2'-c]carbazole (triindole)

With a C3 symmetric planar π-extended conjugated structure, 10,15-Dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3',2'-c]carbazole finds applications in OLED, OFET and OPV devices.


10,15-Dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3',2'-c]carbazole (triindole), also known as triazatruxene (TAT), CAS number 109005-10-9, is three indoles fused onto a benzene ring at ortho-positions to form a wheel like structure, or it can be considered as two indoles fused to a carbazole structure.

Compared with the carbazole unit, 10,15-dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3',2'-c]carbazole is a C3 symmetric planar π-extended conjugated structure which has strong electron-donating capability and usually acts as an electron-donating component on its own or as a part of more complex structures. The triazatruxene structure is an indole cycle-trimer with extended delocalized π-system in which three indole units form an overlapping framework. Due to the disc-like shape of core, triazatruxenes have a high tendency to expand π planes forming columnar supramolecular arrangements. Organic semiconductors based on triazatruxene exhibit high hole mobility and they are most commonly used as hole transporting layer materials due to the strong π-π stacking ability.

Having multiple reactive sites on both the indole nitrogen atoms and the benzene rings, the triazatruxene core is a versatile building block for constructing simple or more complex structures. It is also easy to tune the optical, electronic and morphological properties of the triazatruxene derivatives by functionalizing the core around the rings with different functional groups, i.e. alky chains, electron donating or withdrawing groups. On the other hand, the rigid planar molecular structure of the TAT unit could help to improve the resistance of the materials to photo- and thermal degradation, and to promote effectively charge-carrier transport. Triazatruxene thus has great potential applications as hole transporting or active layer materials in OPVs, OLEDs and OFETs.
