  • Patent number: 7250532
    Abstract: A method for producing aromatic amino compound (V): by synthesizing intermediate compound (IV): by the reaction of compound (I): H2N—R1 with a mixture of halogenated aryl compounds (II): Ar1—X and (III): Ar2—X in the presence of a noble metal catalyst, followed by eliminating the substituent R1 from the nitrogen atom in compound (IV) under an acidic condition or an alkaline condition or by addition of a reducing agent or an oxidizing agent. (R1: a substituent having 2 to 50 carbon atoms; Ar1 and Ar2: a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group or heterocyclic group having 6 to 50 carbon atoms and the same with or different from each other; and X: a halogen group). The aromatic amino compound useful as the charge transporting material can be produced efficiently at a great yield without using highly toxic raw materials.

  • Patent number: 7235194
    Abstract: Disclosed are highly efficient multiphoton absorbing compounds and methods of their use. The compounds generally include a bridge of pi-conjugated bonds connecting electron donating groups or electron accepting groups. The bridge may be substituted with a variety of substituents as well. Solubility, lipophilicity, absorption maxima and other characteristics of the compounds may be tailored by changing the electron donating groups or electron accepting groups, the substituents attached to or the length of the pi-conjugated bridge. Numerous photophysical and photochemical methods are enabled by converting these compounds to electronically excited states upon simultaneous absorption of at least two photons of radiation. The compounds have large two-photon or higher-order absorptivities such that upon absorption, one or more Lewis acidic species, Lewis basic species, radical species or ionic species are formed.
