New anthracene derivatives integrating high mobility and strong emission

Two new anthracene derivatives were designed and synthesized. Ant-Th-Ph and Ant-ThPh show high single crystal mobilities of 1.1 cm2 V−1 s−1 and 4.7 cm2 V−1 s−1. Moreover, strong solid state emission was determined to be 36.52% and 33.32% for Ant-Th-Ph and Ant-ThPh respectively.
