Abstract
New derivatives of triphenylene, perylene, and pyrene are described, some of which form columnar mesophases. The absorption spectra are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The spectra calculated using the density functional tight binding (DFTB) theory are in good agreement with experimental results. The investigated compounds show photoluminescence of violet-blue (triphenylene), yellow-green (pyrene), and orange-red (perylene) colours. In addition, electroluminescence is observed in thin films of these compounds between a positively charged ITO electrode and a negatively charged aluminium electrode. The brightness of the electroluminescence decreases in the order perylene > pyrene > triphenylene. Threshold voltages below 20 V and a luminance up to 100 cd m-2 were observed.
