1,3,5-Tris[4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]benzene and its methyl-substituted derivatives as a novel class of amorphous molecular materials

Abstract

Novel starburst molecules based on π-electron systems, 1,3,5-tris[4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]benzene and its methyl-substituted derivatives, have been synthesized and found to constitute a new family of amorphous molecular materials with high glass-transition temperatures above 100°C.
