General description

Rubrene (99.99% trace metals basis) is a high-purity organic semiconductor widely used in the field of organic electronics, particularly as an emissive layer in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Known for its exceptional fluorescence properties, Rubrene emits a vibrant red light with a maximum emission wavelength of 550 nm. This sublimed grade material is characterized by its excellent charge mobility, making it ideal for high-performance electronic applications. With a melting point of 330-335 °C, Rubrene provides stability and reliability for various research and industrial applications.

Application

Reagent for chemiluminescence research and for transition metal complex ligation.
Organic electronic material useful as OLED dopant (red, λem = 550nm) and as p-type organic semiconductor. Carrier mobilities of 8-20 cm2/ Vs can be achieved in OFETs based on single crystals of sublimed rubrene.

Features and Benefits

  • High Purity: Assay of 99.99% trace metals basis ensures minimal impurities, enhancing performance in sensitive applications.
  • Molecular Weight: 532.67 g/mol, facilitating accurate dosing and formulation in experiments.
  • Melting Point: 330-335 °C, indicating thermal stability suitable for high-temperature applications.
  • Fluorescence Properties: Emits at λmax 550 nm in THF, making it ideal for applications requiring bright red fluorescence.
  • Charge Mobility: Achieves carrier mobilities of 8-20 cm2/Vs in OFETs based on single crystals, enhancing device efficiency.
