From extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements, the exchange extraction constant corresponding to the equilibrium N2H+5 (aq) + 1.Cs+(nb) <-> 1.N2H+5 (nb) + Cs+(aq) taking place in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system (1 = hexaarylbenzene - based receptor; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as log Kex (N2H+5, 1.Cs+) = -1.2 ± 0.1. Further, the stability constant of the hexaarylbenzene - based receptor .N2H+5 complex (abbrev. 1.N2H+5) in nitrobenzene saturated with water was calculated for a temperature of 25 °C: log βnb (1.N2H+5) = 5.6 ± 0.2. By using quantum mechanical DFT calculations, the most probable structure of the 1.N2H+5 complex species was solved. In this complex, the cation N2H+5 synergistically interacts with the polar ethereal oxygen fence and with the central hydrophobic benzene bottom via cation - π interaction. Finally, the calculated binding energy of the resulting complex 1.N2H+5 is -270.5 kJ/mol, confirming the relatively high stability of the considered cationic complex species.

In this study, a series of high molecular weight ionomers of hexaarylbenzene- and fluorene-based poly(arylene ether)s were synthesized conveniently through condensation and post-sulfonation modification. The use a of blending method might increase the stacking density of chains and affect the formation both of interchain and intrachain proton transfer clusters. Multiscale phase separation caused by the dissolution and compatibility differences of blend ionomer in high-boiling-point solvents was examined through analysis and simulations.

Hexaarylbenzene-based molecules find potential applications in organic electronics due to wider energy gap, high HOMO level, higher photoconductivity, electron-rich nature, and high hole-transporting property. Due to the unique propeller structure, these molecules show low susceptibility towards self-aggregation. This property can be tailored by proper molecular engineering by the incorporation of appropriate groups.

A cobalt-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of bis(aryl)alkyne is used as an innovative tool to obtain hole-transport materials (HTMs). The novel HTM containing six units of oligotriarylamine (HAB1), characterized by UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry, DFT, and thermogravimetric analysis, confirms its suitability as an efficient HTM in PSCs. A PCE of 17.

Through-space electron interaction plays a critical role in determining the optical and charge transport properties of functional materials featuring π-stacked architectures. However, developing efficient organic luminescent materials with such interactions has been a challenge because of the lack of well-established prototypical molecules. Here we report the design of through-space charge transfer hexaarylbenzenes (TSCT-HABs) containing circularly-arrayed electron donors (acridan/dendritic triacridan) and acceptors (triazine), which exhibit both thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effects for high-efficiency solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

The easily rotatable peripheral aromatic rings around central benzene in hexaarylbenzene (HAB) derivatives create a very intriguing nonplanar, propeller-shaped geometry. Because of the very low susceptibility toward self-aggregation, HAB derivatives are much stronger candidates among various polyphenylenes/hetero-oligophenylenes when poor molecular cohesion and inefficient packing is required. However, the native properties of hexaphenylbenzene (HPB) can be varied by proper tailoring and substitution of the HAB core.
