Abstract

Two host materials, CzPy2TCz and CzPy3TCz, were designed as structural isomers and synthesized to achieve high efficiency thermally activated delayed fluorescence-organic light emitting diodes (TADF-OLEDs). The design strategy involved introducing a pyridine group into the core structure as an electron-withdrawing unit and varying the substitution position of tercarbazole (TCz). To realize green TADF-OLED, the two host materials synthesized in this study have excellent thermal stability and high excited triplet energy (T₁ = 2.95–2.98 eV). The maximum external quantum efficiency and current efficiency values for CzPy2TCz were 23.81% and 80.2 cd/A, respectively and the respective values for CzPy3TCz were 20.27% and 70.1 cd/A, respectively. Structural isomers with carbazole (Cz) and TCz units at the 2,6-position of the pyridine core effectuate better device performance. Consequently, we found that the host materials introduced in this study play an important role in implementing high performing solution-processed green TADF-OLED.
