Abstract

Bent (so-called banana-shaped) molecules which consist, for example, of an aromatic unit and ester unit are currently attracting interest in the field of liquid crystals.[1] However, to the best of our knowledge, the light-emitting efficiency of banana-shaped molecules have not been reported so far, even though bent light emitters have been reported.[2] In view of the growing importance of highly efficient light-emitting materials in biological, chemical, and ...
