Synthesis and Properties of Novel Hole-Transporting Materials Containing Triphenylamine and Bipyridine Units

Abstract

Novel hole-transporting materials (M1, M2) containing triphenylamine and dipyridine units have been synthesized and characterized. Two compounds have excellent solubility in common solvents. The optical, electrochemical and thermal properties of the materials were studied in detail. The results show that two compounds have green emission in dichloromethane, high thermal stability and proper HOMO levels. The properties of compounds M1 and M2 indicate that two compounds are candidates for the application in Organic light-emitting devices as hole-transporting materials.
