Preparation and optical properties of oligophenylenevinylene/perhydrotriphenylene inclusion compounds

The channel inclusion compounds (ICs) formed by perhydrotriphenylene (PHTP) with linear or rod-shaped molecules can be used for investigations of gues t-guest interactions and in optoelectronics applications, for which high di chroic ratios and high fluorescence quantum yields are desirable. The prepa ration and characterization of some novel PHTP ICs formed with oligophenyle nevinplenes and substituted derivatives are described and the investigation of their optical properties is reported. Results of polarized fluorescence spectroscopy are shown to confirm the expected high optical dichroism.
