ABSTRACT
Herein, a novel core molecule for V-shaped host molecules was synthesized, wherein two carbazoles were directly linked to cyclohexane. Cy-mCP and Cy-mCBP hosts were also successfully prepared for solution-processable thermally activated delayed fluorescence organic light-emitting diodes (TADF-OLEDs). The Cy-mCP and Cy-mCBP molecules contained a cyclohexane linker directly linked to two small molecular hosts (mCP and mCBP), exhibiting twice the molecular weight while maintaining the basic properties of a single host molecule with improved film-forming ability and solubility in organic solvents. These host materials showed superior thermal stability and high glass transition temperatures compared to lower molecular weight hosts. Green TADF-OLEDs were prepared using the two host materials and 2,4,5,6-tetra(3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazol-9-yl)-1,3-dicyanobenzene (t4CzIPN) emitter, achieving device efficiencies similar to that of a low-molecular-weight host. However, after the incorporation of a V-shaped host, superior characteristics were observed in terms of the thermal stability and operational stability of the device. The synthesis of V-shaped molecules by directly linking two carbazoles to a cyclohexane linker is promising for the development of different hosts for solution-processable OLEDs.
