Connecting Curable Siloxanes to Luminescent Organic Semiconductors - Monomers for Functional Hybrid Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Luminescent stilbenoid chromophores with two alkoxysilane end groups are prepared via hydrosilylation or condensation / reduction of substituted 5-ring OPVs with hydro- and aminopropylsilanes. Chromophore and curable units are connected via flexible spacers. To obtain compounds with a rigid connection between silane and π-system, iodo- or bromo-OPVs were coupled to alkoxysilanes carrying vinyl- or p-vinylphenyl moieties under Heck conditions. This approach allowed a combined connection of the chromophore to the silane moiety with an extension of the π-system. Hydrolysis of the alkoxysilanes yields silanols condensing to curable three-dimensional networks, thus allowing the transformation of small molecules to transparent and fluorescent films with well-defined chromophores.
