Specifications | MSDS | Literature and Reviews

2,7-Dibromophenanthrene-9,10-dione (CAS number 84405-44-7), one of the isomers of 2,6-dibromoanthraquinone, can be considered as a 4,4'-dibromobiphenyl bridged by 1,2-diketones. Bromo-function groups at 2,7-postions gives rise to further C-C formation reactions to extend conjugation to its core structure while diketone can form quinoxalines via condensation with diamines. 2,7-Dibromophenanthrene-9,10-dione is very useful intermediate for the synthesis of semiconducting small molecule, oligomers and polymers in applications of OFETs, OLEDs and OPVs.

Pure organic based phosphorescent light-emitting diodes based on 2,7-dibromophenanthrene-9,10-dione as an emitter and bromine modified 6,11-dibromodibenzo[f,h]quinoxaline as a host showed phosphorescent emission with an external quantum efficiency of 0.11%. OLED device based on DQBC with a dibenzo[a,c]phenazine core achieves maximum external quantum efficiency of 39.1% without any external light-extraction techniques, together with a maximum power efficiency of 112.0 lm W^-1 and alleviated efficiency roll-off.
