Abstract
NUMEROUS oxidants, the standard potentials of which are high enough to oxidize anthracene, form hole injecting contacts with it1,2. Carrier injection occurs by a wholly electrochemical process, the transfer of an electron from solid to dissolved oxidant. Anthracene oxidizes in homogeneous solution at 1.09 V with respect to a saturated calomel electrode (SCE)3.
