Fluorescent conjugated dendrimers with fluorinated terminal groups: nanofiber formation and electroluminescence properties.

Two conjugated dendrimers with fluorinated terminal groups have been designed and synthesized. Dendrimer TP1 exhibits nanofibrous self-assembly ability accompanied by an unusual blue-shifted emission from nanofibers, and TP2 shows efficient electroluminescence property in single-layer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
