Oxidation of rubrene, and implications for device stability

Abstract

In studying the formation and thermally activated cycloreversion of oxidized rubrene to pristine rubrene, we observed an irreversible, second stage oxidized product. Understanding the formation of the irreversible adduct will help one design more chemically robust rubrene derivatives.
