Usage

General Description

2-Phenylanthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) composed of a central anthracene molecule with a phenyl group attached at the 2-position. It is primarily used as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds, including fluorescent dyes and materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). 2-Phenylanthracene is known to exhibit blue emission when excited by UV light, making it useful in various optoelectronic applications. It is also a potent photocatalyst, capable of promoting a broad range of organic reactions. However, 2-Phenylanthracene is considered to be potentially hazardous due to its carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, and it is important to handle it with appropriate safety precautions in a controlled laboratory setting.

The effect of electron-withdrawing substituents in asymmetric anthracene derivative semiconductors

Three anthracene derivatives, referred to as 2-phenyl anthracene (Ph-Ant), 2-thiazole anthracene (TZ-Ant), and 2-pentafluorophenyl anthracene (F5Ph-Ant), were designed and synthesized to reveal the effects of the electron-withdrawing substituents on the molecular packing structure and photoelectric properties of the anthracene core. As the electron-withdrawing abilities of the substituents increased, the molecular structures of the three semiconductors showed a progressive deterioration in intermolecular interactions and molecular accumulation, and the photoelectric properties became worse. Interestingly, the energy levels of the three semiconductors showed gradually decreasing changes with an enhancement of the electron-withdrawing abilities of the substituents, indicating a possible strategy for fabricating n-type anthracene derivative semiconductor materials.

A General Method for Growing Two-Dimensional Crystals of Organic Semiconductors by “Solution Epitaxy”

Two-dimensional (2D) crystals of organic semiconductors (2DCOS) have attracted attention for large-area and low-cost flexible optoelectronics. However, growing large 2DCOS in controllable ways and transferring them onto technologically important substrates, remain key challenges. Herein we report a facile, general, and effective method to grow 2DCOS up to centimeter size which can be transferred to any substrate efficiently. The method named “solution epitaxy” involves two steps. The first is to self-assemble micrometer-sized 2DCOS on water surface. The second is epitaxial growth of them into millimeter or centimeter sized 2DCOS with thickness of several molecular layers. The general applicability of this method for the growth of 2DCOS is demonstrated by nine organic semiconductors with different molecular structures. Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on the 2DCOS demonstrated high performance, confirming the high quality of the 2DCOS.
