Bipyridyl oxadiazoles as efficient and durable electron-transporting and hole-blocking molecular materials

We have demonstrated new and efficient electron transporting (ET) and hole blocking (HB) materials for organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). The bipyridyl-substituted oxadiazole derivatives can form a stable glassy state with glass transition temperatures greater than 100 °C. The bipyridyl-substituted oxadiazole derivatives have excellent ET, HB and electron accepting ability and also exhibit electrical operation durability. Bipyridyl-substituted oxadiazoles are a promising candidate for ET and HB materials for OLEDs.
