Synthesis and Properties of Triindole-Based Monomers and Polymers
New star-shaped derivatives of 10,15-dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3,2-c]carbazole (triindole) with reactive functional groups are synthesized. Triindole monomers were found to have similar profiles of absorption and fluorescence spectra due to the presence of the same chromophore. The ionization potentials of the monomers are found to be comparable (5.37-5.53eV). Hole drift mobilities of the amorphous layers of oxetane and vinyl ether molecularly dispersed in bisphenol Z polycarbonate (50%) exceed 10(-5)cm(2)/Vs at high electric fields. Cationic photocross-linking of triindole containing oxirane, oxetane and vinyl ether initiated with diphenyliodoniun tetrafluorborate is carried out.
