B3PymPm, ETL and HBL material in OLED devices

Paired with TCTA to be used in TADF devices to fabricate highly-efficient fluorescent OLEDs


Overview | Specifications | Pricing and Options | MSDS | Literature and Reviews


B3PymPm is an isomer to B2PymPm and B4PymPm, with a 2-methylpyrimidine core structure with four pyridine pendants. It is electron-deficient and can be used in OLED devices as an electron-transporting or hole-blocking layer material.

B3PymPm is known to form hydrogen bonding in and between molecules. The intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding are believed to promote film morphology - hence enhancing charge mobility.

Due to its electron-deficient nature, together with TCTA, B3PymPm is also used in thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) devices as an exciplex-forming co-host to fabricate highly-efficient fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes.
