Abstract Well-defined, modular dendrimers enable processing techniques and electronic properties to be tuned independently. Moreover, the dendritic topology can isolate the core chromophore, thus reducing or eliminating strong intermolecular interactions. This paper presents the synthesis of three series of flexible, dendron-functionalized dendrimers as red- light-emitting materials by a convergent approach:(1) carbazole (CZ) or oxadiazole (OXZ) ...
