Pyrolysis behavior of blue Alq(3) derivatives in thermal process

Abstract

In order to study the blue and soluble Alq(3)-based derivates that fail to sublimate, a series of developable solutions and thermally stable aluminum quinolates with different sulfon reactants were synthesized. The physical and chemical attributes of these chelates were investigated and thoroughly characterized by using the X-ray diffraction method, H-1 NMR and thermal gravity analysis. In this study we also explored the mechanisms involved in the thermal decomposition that occurs during the sublimation process.
