Abstract

A novel topological strategy is described for designing amorphous molecular solids suitable for optoelectronic applications. In this approach, chromophores are attached to a tetrahdral point of convergence. Stilbenoid units were covalently linked to tetraphenylmethane, tetraphenyladamantane, or tetraphenylsilane cores using palladium catalyzed coupling methodology. Thus, reaction of E (C6H5X) 4 (E= C and adamantane, X= I; E= Si, X= Br) ...
