Penta-carbazolylbenzonitrile (5CzBN)

Penta-carbazolylbenzonitrile (5CzBN)
Product Code M2219A1
Price £313.00 ex. VAT
£ GBP

5CzBN, penta-carbazolylbenzonitrile, is sterically hindered due to the five bulky electron-donating carbazolyl groups on the benzene ring struggling for space. It is a light-blue TADF fluorescence emitter widely used for highly efficient TADF-OLED devices.
