| Rubrene is an electroluminescent material that is well known in the chemical literature and, in recent years, has been used as a yellow-light-emitting material or as a dopant in Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) devices. When combined with a blue-light-emitting dopant, rubrene can be used for the production of white-light devices, which are useful in the electronics industry. However, for the successful manufacture of such devices, dopants must exhibit good stability and efficiency. It has been found that the stability and performance of the rubrene-based yellow-light-emitting component can be controlled by careful substituent selection. The synthesis of these substituted rubrenes, and the control of isomer formation, will be discussed. In addition to presenting their device performance, the structural dependence of the materials to photochemical oxidation will also be addressed.
