Novel blue-light-emitting hybrid materials based on oligothiophene acids and ZnO
Novel blue-light-emitting materials based on ZnO and 2,2'-bithiophene-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid (DTDA), 4',3"-dipentyl-5,2': 5',2": 5",2"'-quaterthiophene-2,5"'-dicarboxylic acid (QTDA) have been prepared. The hybrid materials show that the PL lambda(max) are at 450 and 425 nm for DTDA-ZnO and QTDA-ZnO, respectively. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
