B4PyPPm, ETL material for OLED devices

High-performance host for red fluorescent and phosphorescent TADF-OLEDs


B4PyPPM has a 2-phenylpyrimidine skeleton structure with four pyridine pendants. It exhibits superior electron injection properties and an electron mobility that is 10 times higher than those of 3-pyridine derivatives (e.g. B3PyMPM).

Like B4PymPm, B4PyPPM is electron-deficient and used as an electron transport or injection-layer material for OLED devices. Due to its electron-deficient nature, B4PyPPM can also be used with electron-donating materials to form exciplex systems. These are ideal candidates to act as high-performance hosts of both red fluorescent and phosphorescent TADF-OLEDs.
