AbstractNeutral π-radicals have potential for use as light emitters in optoelectronic devices due to the absence of energetically low-lying non-emissive states. Here, we report a defect-free synthetic methodology via mesityl substitution at the para-positions of tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl radical. These materials reveal a number of novel optoelectronic properties.
