mCBP, host material for blue, green, orange, and yellow fluorescent and phosphorescent emitters

Applications in OLED and TADF-OLED devices, now available online for priority dispatch


mCBP, 3,3′-Di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,1′-biphenyl, is an isomer of CBP, 4,4′-Di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,1′-biphenyl. The meta-linkage in mCBP limits conjugation to the central biphenyl, preventing excimer formation and thus resulting in a higher triplet energy of 2.8 eV.

Like CBP and CDBP, mCBP is widely used in OLED and TADF-OLED devices as a host material for blue, green, orange, and yellow fluorescent and phosphorescent emitters.

With two carbazole units, mCBP is electron-rich and can be used to form exciplexes with electron acceptors (such as POT2T) as blue emitters.
