Synthesis and application of pyridine-based ambipolar hosts: control of charge balance in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) by chemical structure modification
Pyridine-based host materials were synthesized via Grignard metathesis of bromopyridines to provide the required organometallic reagent. The isomeric hosts (4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)(phenyl)(pyridin-3-yl)phosphine oxide (HM-A4), (5-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)pyridin-2-yl)diphenylphosphine oxide (HM-A5), and (5-(diphenylamino)pyridin-2-yl)diphenylphosphine oxide (HM-A6), (4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)(phenyl)(pyridin-3-yl)phosphine oxide (HM-A8) have similar frontier orbital energies. Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) fabricated using the series of the host materials demonstrate that small structural modification of the host results in significant change in charge transporting ability.
