摘要
In this work, we report on a series of diphenylsulfone derivatives substituted by 2-(trifluoromethyl)-phenothiazinyl, 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepinyl, 5H-dibenz[b,f]azepinyl, 4-methoxy-carbazolyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazolyl moieties. Utilization of such donating units provided high triplet levels (2.99-3.12 eV) of the designed compounds. The compounds were characterized by glass-forming properties (with glass transition temperatures of 68-162 degrees C) and ionization potentials of 5.61-5.99 eV. Depending on the donor substitution pattern, either hole or electron transport was observed for the studied compounds with charge mobilities in the range from 5.3 x 10(-6) to 2.8 x 10(-4) cm(2)/V at electric fields higher than 3.1.10(5)V/cm. Hosting properties of the compounds were studied using widely known emitter exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Among the studied compounds, bis(4-(4-methoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)phenyl)sulfone showed the best performances in both guest:host solid films (photoluminescence quantum yield of 87%) and electroluminescent devices (maximum external quantum efficiency over 20%).
