1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutadiene (TPB) is an organic compound with the formula (C6H5)2C=CHCH=C(C6H5)2. Other isomers are possible, but the term usually refers to the derivative of butadiene with two phenyl group on each of the terminal carbon atoms It is a white solid that has attracted some attention as an electroluminescent dye.[3]
The compound was first prepared by double dehydration of the diol.[4]
It glows blue with an emission spectrum peak wavelength at 430 nm,[5] It is useful as a wavelength shifter.[6][7]
