One of the most suitable methods for synthesizing conjugated polymers is the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction because of high tolerance and stability. Herein, we report an improved strategy to synthesize conjugated...

The 9,9-Dihexyl-2,7-dibromofluorene (F6-Br) is an important intermediate product in the synthesis of functional polyfluorenes for various applications. The solvent/antisolvent method has been one of the efficient methods to purify organic molecules for advanced applications, for which the solubility data of solutes in different solvents are the basis of purification. In this work, the solubility values of F6-Br in 12 kinds of solvents in the temperature range of 283.15–323.15 K and atmospheric pressure were determined by using the isothermal saturation method. The selected solvents were methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, n-butanol, isopropanol, dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, and toluene. The measured solubility data were correlated by the modified Apelblat equation. The maximum value of mean square deviation was 3.95 × 10–3, which retains practical guiding significance. The purification of F6-Br via solvent/antisolvent precipitation processing was demonstrated, and the involvement of rotating packed-bed-based technology significantly intensified the process efficiency, which showed promising application value for industrial production.

1,3,5-Tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBi) is normally used as functional materials in organic lightemitting diodes (OLEDs) and the information about the solubilities of TPBi in organic solvents is crucial for the preparation of inks toward inkjet printing technology, which is considered to be a next-generation manufacturing method for OLED production. The solubilities of TPBi in 12 kinds of organic solvents, including n-hexane, cyclohexane, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, chlorobenzene, and trichloromethane, at the temperature range from 283.15 to 323.15 K and atmospheric pressure were determined based on the isothermal saturation method. The obtained solubility data were correlated by the modified Apelblat equation and the correlated results exhibited good agreement with the experimental data. The nanonization of TPBi was conducted via high gravity-assisted solvent/antisolvent precipitation processing, which showed a beneficial effect for film formation.

9-Phenylcarbazole (PCz) is widely used for synthesizing functional molecules in display material industry and synthetic crystal industry. This study aimed to gain reliable experimental data for PCz solubility in common organic solvents under atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 278.15 to 313.15 K. The selected solvents are methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, n-hexane, cyclohexane, acetonitrile, 1,4dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, and trichloromethane. Evaluating the existing models for solid−liquid equilibrium showed that the Apelblat equation was reliable and that the maximum value of mean square deviation between experimental and calculated data was 0.016. This knowledge was referenced for designing the solvent antisolvent (SAS) precipitation processing. Purified products of PCz with a mass fraction purity of over 98.11% was obtained via SAS precipitation in a rotating packed bed with intensified micromixing. Bulk crystals of PCz with high quality were grown from acetonitrile via the deposited crystallization processing.
