Growth of crystalline rubrene films with enhanced stability (DOI: 10.1039/b507620j) (2437 words)
This pronounced difference in film growth is related to the conformational change of rubrene molecules involving a loss of chirality upon crystallization and the enhanced diffusion which becomes possible at high temperature and large vapor pressure.
Accompanied DFT calculations of the molecular geometry of rubreneperoxide yielded a bending of the last aromatic ring of the tetracene-backbone by 55° due to the oxygen as shown in Fig.
A comparison of this structure with the molecular geometry and packing of rubrene in its crystal phase suggests that the oxidation of rubrene in single crystals is sterically hindered or requires a repacking.
Rubrene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (174 words)
Rubrene is used as a sensitiser in chemoluminescence.
Crystals of rubrene and other organic semiconductors are generally grown in a modified zone furnace on a temperature gradient, by a technique known as Physical Vapor Transport.
Rubrene holds the distinction of being the highest mobility organic semiconductor, with Podzorov et al.
