Application

Chrysene can be used as a building block to synthesize:
  • Chrysene-based tetracarboxy-substituted bis[5]helicenes via double Perkin reactions followed by Pd-catalyzed cyclizations.
  • Chrysene-based azahelicene derivatives are applicable in Perovskite solar cells.
  • 3,6,9,12-tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)chrysene applicable as a blue emitter for OLEDs.

Chrysene is a readily available material for exploring new polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this study, two chrysene based azahelicenes, nine-membered BA7 and ten-membered DA6, are constructed by intermolecular oxidative annulation of 6-aminochrysene and intramolecular annulation of N6 ,N12 -bis(1-chloronaphthalen-2-yl)chrysene-6,12-diamine

The first tetra-substituted non-fused chrysene, 3,6,9,12-tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)chrysene with blue electroluminescence at 450 nm, and with a radiance of 500 cd m(-2), was synthesized by a two-step procedure: direct bromination of chrysene in trimethyl phosphate, followed by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of tetrabromochrysene and
