Abstract
Abstract Three novel molecules were designed and synthesized based on a known compound 9,10-di(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracene (MADN). To broaden the π-conjugated system, three units with different electronegativity were introduced and connected to the C-2 position of MADN by vinyl unit. The Suzuki reaction, the Wittig reaction, and the Heck reaction were employed to synthesize these compounds. MADN is a well-known anthracene derivative which has been widely used as blue emitter. All these results indicate that these novel MADN derivatives could be some kind of potential materials for OLEDs.
