Their electrochemically determined ionization potential and electron affinity of about 5.2 and -3.2 eV, respectively, are essentially independent of the length of the alkoxyl substituent and in good agreement with DFT calculations. The crystal structure of 8,16-dioctyloxybenzo[h]benz[5,6]acridino[2,1,9,8-klmna]acridine (FC-8), the most promising compound, was solved. It crystallizes in space group P1 and forms π-stacked columns held together in the 3D structure by dispersion forces, mainly between interdigitated alkyl chains. Molecules of FC-8 have a strong tendency to self-organize in monolayers deposited on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface, as observed by STM. 8,16-Dialkoxybenzo[h]benz[5,6]acridino[2,1,9,8-klmna]acridines are highly luminescent, and all have photoluminescence quantum yields of about 80 %. They show efficient electroluminescence, and can be used as guest molecules with a 4,4′-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl host in guest/host-type organic light-emitting diodes. The best fabricated diodes showed a luminance of about 1900 cd m-12, a luminance efficiency of about 3 cd A-1, and external quantum efficiencies exceeding 0.9 %. New life for an old dye: Simple modification of flavanthrone, an old, intractable, and almost-forgotten vat dye, by reduction of its carbonyl groups to phenolates followed by O-alkylation, gave a new group of solution-processable, electroactive, conjugated compounds (see figure). Their HOMO and LUMO energies, as well as their ionization potentials and electron affinities, make them suitable for application as components of organic light-emitting diodes. © 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
