Abstract

The twisted bimesitylene scaffold hinders crystallization and imparts amorphous nature to the oligophenylenevinylenes (OPVs) generated by 2-and/or 4-fold functionalization. The resultant phenylenevinylenes 1-5 with unique molecular topology exhibit excellent thermal and solid-state luminescence properties. The amorphous nature permits their application as pure-blue emissive materials in OLEDs. Under nondoped conditions, the device performances observed surpass those for analogous and simple oligophenylenevinylenes known so far; for example, the device based on OPV 2 as an emitting material and structurally analogous Bim-DPAB as a hole-transporting material yields pure-blue electroluminescence with an external quantum efficiency of ca. 4.70% at 20 mA/cm2, which is higher than those reported for nondoped pure-blue OPV emitters.
