Synthesis and characterization of dendrimers containing thienylbenzene repeating units, red-emitting benzothiadiazole core, and triarylamine peripheries that bear naphthyl units are reported. The relevant dendrimers of different generations are classified as Gnb (n = 1-3), while the tert-butyl dendrimers Gna with the acceptor alone were also synthesized to serve as control chromophores that avoid donor-acceptor interactions. The resulting dendrimers are capable of harvesting photon energy through efficient energy transfer among donor-acceptor moieties, so that highly luminescent red fluorophores result. Transient fluorescence studies suggest that the energy transfer and its efficiency are approximately unity in all G a dendrimers, whereas the rate of energy transfer for the G b dendrimers is suppressed, that is, charge transfer from the core to the periphery is a significant quenching pathway. These dendrimers are amorphous in nature with high glass transition temperatures (176-201°C). Electroluminescent devices were fabricated by using the dendrimers as hole-transporting emitters, and the devices exhibit promising red emission parameters.
