mCP, often used as a host material for efficient blue phosphorescent LEDs

Increases the photoluminescence internal quantum yield of FIrpic, CAS No. 550378-78-4, mCP, 1,3-Bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene, 1,3-Di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzene


1,3-Bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene, known as mCP, with a high triplet energy (ET = 2.91 eV) and a very deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level, is often used as host materials for efficient blue phosphorescent light-emitting diodes. Kawamura et al. demonstrated that the photoluminescence internal quantum yield of the blue emitter of FIrpic could approach nearly 100% when doped into the wide energy gap host of mCP [1].

mCP is one of the most commonly used host materials for fluorescent, phosphorescent, TADF dopants in OLED devices
