Application

Anthraflavic acid can be used as a starting material to synthesize tetrahydroxy tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, which are used as redox-active building blocks in supramolecular and materials science. It is also utilized to prepare phosphanylidene anthra[2,1-b]furans by reacting with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine.

The integration of high charge carrier mobility and high luminescence in an organic semiconductor is challenging. However, there is need of such materials for organic light-emitting transistors and organic electrically pumped lasers. Here we show a novel organic semiconductor, 2,6-diphenylanthracene

Semiconducting molecular-material thin-films of tetrabenzo (b,f,j,n) [1,5,9,13] tetraazacyclohexadecine copper(II) and nickel(II) bisanthraflavates have been prepared by using vacuum thermal evaporation on Corning glass substrates and crystalline silicon wafers. The films thus obtained were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force
