Dispirocycles: Novel Platforms for Construction of High-Performance Host Materials for Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

摘要： Spirocycle compounds such as 9,9′-Spirobifluorene (SBF) are becoming more and more attractive for use as the host materials in organic optoelectronic devices. In this manuscript, two dispirocycles, namely dispiro[fluorene-9,9?-anthracene-10?,9??-fluorene] and 10,10??-diphenyl-10H,10??H-dispiro[acridine-9,9?-anthracene-10?,9??-acridine] were used for the construction of hosts materials (1, 2, 3, and 4). The attached triphenylamine group would determine the thermal, photophysical, electrochemical, and charge transport properties, and therefore they have different electroluminescence performances. The device based on dispiro[fluorene-9,9?-anthracene-10?,9??-fluorene] (2) and 10,10??-diphenyl-10H,10??H-dispiro[acridine-9,9?-anthracene-10?,9??-acridine] (3) molecular platforms exhibited a external quantum efficiency of over 21% with a very high power efficiency (~100 lm W-1). The results here demonstrate to us the potential of extending the possibilities of applying the dispirocyclic molecular platforms with inherent rigidity for developing highly efficient host materials for OLEDs.
