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

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.
Reagent for chemiluminescence research and for transition metal complex ligation.

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.
