Abstract: | We have studied the spectral properties and morphology of thin films (TVD films) formed by thermal vacuum deposition of 4,4′-bis(E)-1-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)-2-ethenyl]-1,1′-biphenyl
and its substituted derivatives. We have shown that introducing bulky 2,2′-oxyhexyl substituents into the biphenyl units leads
to a shift of the fluorescence maximum for the TVD films toward shorter wavelengths, a decrease in their photostability, and
aggregation of the films during storage.
