Two hole transporting materials (HTMs), SFX-PT1 and SFX-P12, were designed and synthesized by combing a spiro[fluorene-9, 9'-xanthenel (SFX) core with tetra- phenothiazine substituted at the 2,2',7,7'-and 2,3',6,'7-positions, respectively. As comparison, a HTM with tetra-phenothiazine substituted at the 2,2',7,7'-positions of a 9, 9'-spirobifluorene core (Spiro-PT) was also synthesized. Their photo physical and electrochemical properties, thermal stability and hole mobility were investigated. It was demonstrated that SFX-centered HTMs exhibited superior Stokes shift, thermal stability and hole mobility than those of Spiro-PT. Combining with the substituted positions modification, SFX-PFI has the largest Stokes shift of 197 nm, the highest decomposition temperature of 435 degrees C and hole mobility of 2.08 x 10(-3) cm(2)V(-1)S(-1). Moreover, the energy levels of the HTMs were matched very well with that of CH3NH3PbI3. Our results indicated that SFX-centered, phenothiazole substituted HTMs might be potential candidates for efficient perovskite solar cells. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
