H. Hackl et al., Chemical modulation of the electronic properties of differently substituted stilbenes and 4,4 '-bis(styryl)stilbenes, SYNTH METAL, 121(1-3), 2001, pp. 1639-1640
We present synthesis and characterization of stilbenes and 4,4 ' -bis(styry
l)stilbenes with different electron withdrawing and donating substituents a
t the phenylene rings and vinylene units. The photoluminescence and optical
absorption data are reported. The UV/VIS and emissions behavior is correla
ted with the structural variations of the model compounds, tuning the elect
rical and optical properties by introduction of different substituents.
