Optical and conductive properties of functional materials extracted from coal tar pitches treated by air oxidization method

The oligomers having the blue photoluminescence and conductivities of 5 × 10–7^–7.4 × 10^–4 S m^–1 after doping by iodine are extracted successfully from coal tar pitches which were dealt with by the air oxidization method at 350°C. Meanwhile, it is observed that extracted materials have the blue photoluminescence with the fluorescence quantum yield of 7–10.2%. In these cases, we used the solutions of toluene and pyridine to extract these functional materials from coal tar pitches. Consequently, we consider these extracted materials showing the advantages in the application of fabricating the electronic devices, because it can decrease the production cost remarkably than use of the materials obtained by general organic synthesis methods. Finally, this research also can provide the one of beneficial references for solving the serious problem of overproduction of coal tar pitches in China.
