These compounds emit from purple- blue to orange-red. These compounds are amorphous with glass transition temperatures ranging from 104 to 170 oC and high thermal decomposition temperature (Td > 340 oC) . Among them, EF-I-N, EF-I-N2, SPY-I-N exhibited both good electron- and hole-transporting (mobilities ~10-5 cm2/(V·s)) and emitting abilities. The single-layer devices (ITO/cpd/LiF/Al) of them showed good performance( ext 3.5%; 1.8 lm/W; 3.6 cd/A at 100 mA/cm2 for EF-I-N based device). In addition, bi-layer electroluminescent devices of good performance ( ext 4.2%;3.1 lm/W;4.4 cd/A at 100 mA/cm2 for EF-I-N based device) have also been achieved using these materials as the electron-transporting and emitting layer. Compound EF-II can be used as electron-transporting layer. The device using Alq3 as the emitting layer and NPB as the hole-transporting layer, ITO/NPB/Alq3/EF-II/LiF/Al, exhibited good performance: ext 1.9%; 3.2 lm/W; 5.9 cd/A at 100 mA/cm2. Moreover, SPY-I-N can serve as a good host for phosphorescent materials. The single-layer device, ITO/SPY-I-N:Ir(fbi)2(acac) 5% (80 nm)/LiF/Al, usingIr(fbi)2(acac) as emissive dopant exhibited high efficiency: ext 6.9%;4.4 lm/W;20 cd/A at 100 mA/cm2.
