Efficient blue organic electrochemiluminescence luminophore based on a pyrenyl–phenanthroimidazole conjugate†
Abstract
A pyrenyl–phenanthroimidazole (Py–PI) conjugate emitted strong blue electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission via the reductive-oxidation co-reactant pathway, with an ECL efficiency 3.3 times higher than that of the 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) reference compound.
