Synthesis and photophysical properties of triphenylamine-based dendrimers with 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene cores

Two new conjugated dendrimers bearing a triphenylamine moiety as dendrons and 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene as a core have been synthesized through a convergent synthetic strategy. These conjugated dendrimers have high fluorescence quantum yields and exhibit similar absorption and emission behaviors in solutions and in solid films, which demonstrate that these dendrimers form good amorphous states.
