Synthesis of liquid-crystalline, highly luminescent pi-conjugated 1,3,5-triazine derivatives by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction
A new class of 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine derivatives having long alkoxyl side chains have been synthesized by a Pd(0)/Cu(I)-catalyzed carbon-carbon coupling reaction. These compounds behave as liquid-crystalline materials and show quantum yields higher than 70% in photoluminescence.
