(4-(1,2,2-Triphenylvinyl)phenyl)methanol, also known as TPE-MeOH (CAS 1015082-83-3), is a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) building block that carries a hydroxymethyl group. It is supplied as a white powder with a purity above 97% and serves as a ligand for covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
The molecule's propeller-like geometry makes it a common starting point for aggregation-induced emission (AIE) macromolecules. Its fully conjugated core also suits it to end-capping dye molecules for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Such devices have reached a power conversion efficiency of 6.29% and an open-circuit photovoltage of 804 mV.
In liquid crystal research, the compound can be attached as a pendant group through ionic interaction. The resulting liquid crystal material gives polarized fluorescence at 475 nm when excited at 360 nm.
