4CzPN-Ph (4CzPNPh), a highly rigid carbazole based phthalonitrile derivative

Yellow emitter for highly efficient yellow and white TADF-OLED devices.

3,4,5,6-tetrakis(3,6-diphenylcarbazol-9-yl)- 1,2-dicyanobenzene (4CzPN-Ph), an iso-structure to 4CzTPN-Ph, has a fully substituted benzene ring with four bulky 3,6-diphenyl-9H-carbazoles and two ortho cyano groups at 1,2-positions.

Comparing with 4CzTPN-Ph, 4CzPN-Ph is structurally more hindered with all four diphenylcarbazolyl next to each other while four diphenylcarbazolyl are evenly separated in 4CzTPN-Ph. For this reason, 4CzTPN-Ph is relatively more conjugated is red-shifted in emission than 4CzPN-Ph.

4CzPN-Ph is a yellow emitter commonly used as a TADF dopant for highly efficient TADF devices. All TADF-based white organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) device with 4′-diphenylphosphinoylspiro[fluorene-9,9′-xanthene] (SFXSPO) as host, blue TADF material DMAC-DPS and yellow TADF material 4CzPN-Ph as the dopants, showed high device performance efficiencies with PE max of 40.6 lm/W, EQE max of 19.1%, and CE max of 50.5 cd/A.
