Abstract
In a recent study, we synthesized novel, color-pure blue emitters, based on a simple ‘pencil and paper’ concept, termed DOBFT and DOBFIT, inspired by our ‘Poly-Heteroaromatic Omni-Delocalization’ (PHOD) concept. The molecules' asymmetric structure, distinct from the DABNA framework, posed significant synthetic challenges, necessitating careful modification of existing strategies and considerable trial and error. While previous publications have primarily focused on the PHOD concept and the properties of DOBFT and DOBFIT, they often overlooked the complexities of their synthesis. In this paper, we provide a detailed account of the synthesis processes and challenges, offering valuable insights for researchers pursuing similar efforts. Additionally, we introduce a new molecule, DOBFITX, with its synthesis meticulously documented, along with a comprehensive, combined spectroscopic and computational analysis of the photophysical properties of these molecules.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
