Abstract
Three novel heterocyclic host based on diaryl ketone-tethered 1,5-diazocines were designed and synthesized for applications in phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). The hosts were derived by anchoring the naphthyl ketone (TBN), anthryl ketone (TBA), and phenanthryl ketone (TBP) to the 1,5-diazocine core. The materials were successfully characterized using spectroscopic techniques. TBN and TBP exhibited low external quantum efficiency of 1.5% and 1.9% when explored as hosts in PhOLED devices. Among the series, TBP exhibited the highest luminance of 4160 cd/m2, maximum luminance efficiency of 6.3 cd/A, and power efficiency of 3.21 lm/w, when doped with Ir(ppy)3 in PhOLED. Nevertheless to our surprise, TBA manifested the lowest device performance than other TBs as a host due to low carrier mobility caused by a highly twisted structure as deciphered from the comparative analysis of single-crystal structure that could impede carrier transport crucial for efficient electroluminescence. The outcomes of electroluminescence were validated and explained with analysis of single-crystal structure, and also with the aid of density functional theory.
