Abstract

1-/2-phenyl substituted 9,10-anthraquinones were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reactions of 1-/2-iodo-9,10-anthraquinones with benzeneboronic acid. They are efficient and reversible electrochromic materials and their solid electrochromic devices were prepared. When reduced, the device color of 1-phenyl-9,10-anthraquinone shifts from yellow to claret while that of 2-phenyl-9,10-anthraquinone switches from yellow-green to a dark blue-purple. Their different characteristics and behaviors in electrochromic devices are only determined by the different substituted positions of the phenyl group. They are potentially to be widely applied in commercial application for the excellent behaviors plus the inexpensive starting materials and short synthetic routes.
