Abstract:
With 4,4'-naphthidine as a parent compound and N,N'-di(α-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-4,4'-benzidine(α-NPD) as a model,N,N'-d
i(α-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-4,4'-naphthidine(α-NPN) was synthesized and characterized by ~1HNMR and EA.Determined by DSC,α-NPN has a higher glass transition temperature(T
g=128℃) than that of α-NPD.The absorption and thin film photoluminescence spectra of α-NPN red-shifts relative to those of α-NPD.Its oxidation potential,determined by cyclic voltammetry in solution,is 1.20V,higher than 1.02V of α-NPD.Additionally,α-NPN thin film emits bright blue fluorescence(461 nm) with a quantum efficiency of 8.5%,higher than that of α-NPD(5.5%).The structure-property analyses prove that α-NPN potentially serve as a good hole-transport material.
