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


4,4′-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (CBP), is one of the most widely-used host materials for efficient fluorescent and phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes with high hole mobility. This is due to its electron-rich property from two carbazolyl units.

CBP, 4,4′-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl from Ossila was used in the high-impact paper (IF 14.92)

CBP, 4,4′-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl from Ossila was used in the high-impact paper (IF 14.92), Complete polarization of electronic spins in OLEDs, T. Scharff et al., Nat. Commun., 12, 2071 (2021); DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22191-3.

It has been demonstrated that CBP can efficiently host green, yellow and red phosphorescent emitters with triplet energies smaller than that of CBP (ET = 2.6 eV) [1].
