Synthesis of an aromatic amine derivative with novel double spirobifluorene core and its application as a hole transport material

Abstract

A synthetic method to prepare a novel double spirobifluorene core structure was developed and a hole transport type exciton blocking material with the double spirobifluorene core was synthesized. A two step ring closing method was used to synthesize the double spirobifluorene core. The double spirobifluorene core based hole transport material showed high glass transition temperature due to rigid structure, and high quantum efficiency in green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes because of efficient hole injection and triplet exciton blocking properties.
