Highly Efficient Solid-State Near-infrared Organic Light-Emitting Diodes incorporating A-D-A Dyes based on α,β-unsubstituted “BODIPY” Moieties

Abstract We take advantage of a recent breakthrough in the synthesis of α,β-unfunctionalised 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) moieties, which we symmetrically conjugate with oligothienyls in an unexpectedly stable form, and produce a “metal-free” A-D-A (acceptor-donor-acceptor) ol...
