ABSTRACT
We report a straightforward synthesis of Si-containing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The impact of π-extension and exocyclic modifications on both the optical and redox properties is investigated using a joint experimental/theoretical approach. By taking advantage of the solid-state luminescence of these derivatives, electroluminescent devices are prepared. Such preliminary opto-electronic results highlight that these heteroatom-containing PAHs are promising building blocks for organic electronics.
