1,4,5-Tryaryl Triazole
Label 1,4,5-Tryaryl Triazole Artist Yael Medley Description This is a 1,4,5-tryaryl triazole which is rotated to show that the aryl groups are twisted. This molecule can have two different hydrogen bonding conformations. The conformers fluoresce at different wavelengths and therefore have excitation dependent emission. This may be useful in creating white OLEDs. The structure shown…
