Twisted bimesitylene-based oxadiazoles as novel host materials for phosphorescent OLEDs
摘要:
The D-2d-symmetric bimesitylene core has been exploited for designing novel host materials required in the construction of phosphorescence-based organic light emitting devices. The oxadiazole-functionalized twisted bimesitylenes are found to exhibit high band gap (triplet energies), and excellent glass transition temperatures and thermal stabilities for ready exploitation as host materials. The electron-transporting ability and respectable luminance efficiencies with triplet dopants (up to 19.0 cd/A) allow oxadiazole-functionalized bimesitylenes as promising materials for phosphorescence-based light emitting devices, namely PHOLEDs.

Nondoped Pure-Blue OLEDs Based on Amorphous Phenylenevinylene-Functionalized Twisted Bimesitylenes
摘要:
The twisted bimesitylene scaffold hinders crystallization and imparts amorphous nature to the oligophenylenevinylenes (OPVs) generated by 2- and/or 4-fold functionalization. The resultant phenylenevinylenes 1-5 with unique molecular topology exhibit excellent thermal and solid-state luminescence properties. The amorphous nature permits their application as pure-blue emissive materials in OLEDs. Under nondoped conditions, the device performances observed surpass those for analogous and simple oligophenylenevinylenes known so far; for example, the device based on OPV 2 as an emitting material and structurally analogous Bim-DPAB as a hole-transporting material yields pure-blue electroluminescence with an external quantum efficiency of ca. 4.70% at 20 mA/cm(2), which is higher than those reported for nondoped pure-blue OPV emitters.
