Ladder-Type BN-Embedded Heteroacenes with Blue Emission

Abstract

Using a concise synthetic strategy, a series of novel ladder-type BN-embedded heteroacenes were successfully synthesized. Their molecular skeletons render the versatile modification which is desirable for achieving unique physical properties. Organic light-emitting diode devices based on BN-embedded heteroacenes were subsequently fabricated, demonstrating their promising application as blue emitters.
