9-Bromoanthracene (CAS number 1564-64-3) is a mono-brominated anthracene at 9-position. It is one of the key intermediates for the construction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) anthracene. Photodimers of 9-bromoanthracene are suitable alkyl halide initiators in the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) reactions

Non-doped device based on 9-bromoanthracene derived DCPA-TPA provides NIR emission with peaks at 838 nm and a maximum radiance of 20707 mW Sr^-1 m^-2 was observed for the optimized device based on DCPA-TPA [1]. Also doping device using 3,6-di(anthracen-9-yl)-9-phenyl-9H-carbazole (P-DAC) as the host material showed high luminance efficiencies and external quantum efficiencies of as high as 7.70 cd A^-1 and 4.86% with CIE chromaticity coordinates (0.156, 0.136) and 100 mA cm^-2 [2].
