Benz[ b ]anthracene is an ethylnylated acene that is a conducting polymer, which can be used as a donor material. It has a high photoluminescence and quantum yield that makes it a promising candidate in the development of single crystal electronic material. Benz[ b ]anthracene is a fused polycyclic aromatic compound with an electron field-effect mobility of about 10 cm 2 /Vs
Application
p-Type organic conductor and OLED dopant. Sublimed grade for organic electronic device applications. Suitable for organic semiconductor lasers. Benz[ b ]anthracene can be used in a wide range of organic electronics based devices, which include organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), solar cells, organic photovoltaics (OPVs), thin film transistors (TFTs), and other single crystal based organic semiconductors.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as naphthacenes. These are compounds containing a naphthacene moiety, which is a polyaromatic hydrocarbon made of four linearly fused benzene rings.
