“…Three classes of carbazole oligomers are studied, including the 3(6),9′-linked oligomers with their 9-position end-capped with an alkyl group (BCz1, TCz1), the 3(6),9′-linked oligomers with their 9-position end-capped with a substituted phenyl group (BCz2, TCz2), and one 3,3′-linked carbazole dimer, BCz3, for comparison. These compounds were synthesized by a modified Ullmann coupling reaction (BCz1, BCz2, TCz1, and TCz2) or by chemical oxidation (BCz3) by using procedures similar to protocols previously reported [12][13][14] (see Supporting Information for more details of syntheses and characterization). The four 3(6),9′-linked oligocarbazoles investigated exhibit fairly high thermal stability.…”
