Overview of the Laboratory for Condensed Aromatic Systems Synthesis
Yulian Zagranyarski
Abstract
A various building block molecules for the synthesis of a variety of perylene monoimides, naphthalimides and phthalimides will be presented. Some modifications of these starting molecules based on classical nucleophilic aromatic substitution and/or metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, as well as their application or promising application in various fields of organic electronics. Proposal of new naphthalene and atracene based spacers as a potential new fluorophore for OLED application.
