The novel class of fluorophores with high quantum efficiencies is built around a pyrazole unit. These compounds exhibit emission maxima at around 380 nm. Additionally to high quantum efficiency and chemical resistance, the molecules provide a polar anchoring group enabling straightforward substrate attachment.
Scientists from Goethe University of Frankfurt/Main synthesized novel arylborane compounds with extraordinary electronic, chemical, and optical properties. The novel blue fluorescent dyes are well suited for use in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).
