ABSTRACT
Newly designed and synthesized derivatives of pentaphenylbenzene with methoxy-substituted carbazolyl or diphenylamino moieties were investigated to estimate their applicability as hole transport materials. Both the compounds exhibit high thermal stability. The intramolecular charge transfer is blocked for the film of the compound containing diphenylamino groups. The intermolecular charge transfer is induced in the film of carbazolyl-containing compound. The derivative of pentaphenylbenzene and diphenylamine exhibits higher hole drift mobility (2.4·10-3 cm2/V·s at the electric field of 5.5·105 V/cm) and by 0.1 eV lower ionization potential than the carbazolyl-containing compound. Both the compounds were utilized as hole-transporting materials in a series of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on of thermally activated delayed fluorescence. With the maximum values of external quantum efficiency of 25.9 % and power efficiency of 43.4 lm/W, OLEDs containing the layers of the synthesized compounds outperformed the device based on TCTA by 4 %, without the change in spectral properties. Variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry revealed the moderate average roughness of the films of the compound deposited by the thermal vacuum evaporation technique with an arithmetic mean deviation of not more than 0.8 nm. The prominent hole transport characteristics of the compounds make them good candidates for utilization in optoelectronic devices.
