Synthesis, fine structure of 19F NMR and fluorescence of novel amorphous TPA derivatives having perfluorinated cyclopentenyl and benzo[b]thiophene unit.

Three novel triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives having perfluorinated cyclopentenyl and benzo[b]thiophene unit are obtained from 4-bromo-N,N-diphenyl-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophen-5-amine. The new compounds are expected to find their use in thin film devices as charge transport materials and host organic light-emitting materials. It is found that the new compounds show relatively strong fluorescence either in solution or in solid state, and are amorphous due to a special conformation which is elucidated by the fine structure of (19)F NMR.

Microwave-assisted synthesis, structure, and tunable liquid-crystal properties of 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives through peripheral n-alkoxy chains.

A series of substituted 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives are prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis in the absence of an organic solvent. All derivatives are well characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR, MS, and elemental analyses. The X-ray crystal structure of 2,5-di-(4-decyloxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole reveals the tilt lamellar arrangement of rod-shaped molecules, which are stabilized by a variety of weak non-covalent interactions.
