• derivatives have been shown to be efficient emitters for OLED applications [2]. In these devices, the benzanthrone moiety acts as an electron accepting group, whereas the diarylamine group functions as an electron donor. The reaction of 1 with various organometallic reagents was studied by Allen in the 1970s

• ], organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) [9] or functional polymers [10][11][12][13]. A typical push-pull chromophore consists of a polar A-π-D system with a planar π-system end-capped by a strong electron donor (D) and a strong electron acceptor (A). The π-conjugated system ensuring charge-transfer (CT
