| As one of the most common discotic mesogens, triphenylene derivatives have been extensively studied for over two decades. In addition to their discotic liquid crystallity, triphenylene derivatives are also attractive molecular electronic materials with applications in light-emitting diodes, field-effect transistors, and photovoltaic cells. While a number of triphenylene derivatives and polymers have been studied, dendrimers based on triphenylene building blocks have not yet been realized. Here we present an efficient synthetic approach to AB2 functionalized triphenylene derivatives and their subsequent utilization as building blocks for the construction of triphenylene-based dendrimers. |
