Synthesis and photophysical properties of a new tetraphenylethylene-o-carborane-based star-shaped molecule†
Abstract
A novel TPE-o-carborane-based star-shaped molecule with a triphenylamine core has been synthesized. This star-shaped molecule consists of three TPE-o-carborane moieties as dendrons and triphenylamine as the core. In the solid state, the absolute luminescent quantum yield can be improved to 62%.
