Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Crosslinkable Multi-Branched Ethynyl Fluorene-Labeled Molecules

Abstract

The simple way to synthesize crosslinkable multi-branched ethynyl fluorene-labeled molecules has been reported in this work. A three-armed molecule, OxDBFP is prepared by cyclotrimerization and phase transfer catalysis methods. 3-(6-Bromo-2-oxahexyl)-3-methyloxetane tethered to 9-position of fluorene is crosslinked when exposed to UV light. This kind of compounds can be proper candidates for full-color displays or solid-state lighting by low-cost solution prosessing.
