Synthesis and Electronic Properties of 9,10-Disilylanthracenes

Abstract

The sila-functional 9,10-disilylanthracenes An(SiR2X)2 (1, R = i-Pr, X = H; 2, R = i-Pr, X = Cl; 3, R = Me, X = H) were synthesized, and the X-ray structure is reported for 1. Compounds 1−3 as well as the related compound An(SiMe3)2 exhibit intense fluorescence (Φf > 0.9) at room temperature.
