“…[5][6][7][8] One of the most widely studied representatives of electron-injection/hole-blocking materials from this class is 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tertbutylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), exhibiting high photoluminescence quantum yield and good thermal and chemical stabilities. 9,10 A literature survey revealed some other examples of π-conjugated 1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrids connected directly or indirectly to other [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] The leading 1,3,4-oxadiazoles are usually prepared from acid hydrazides as cyclocondensation substrates with carboxylic acids, 28 aromatic aldehydes, 29 orthoesters 30 or by transformations involving other rings, such as 1,2,4-oxadiazole. 31 However, the most popular methodology involves reactions of diacylhydrazines with a range of cyclodehydrating agents, just to mention polyphosphoric acid, boron trifluoride-diethyl etherate, thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride or the Burgess reagent.…”
