Synthesis and properties of novel hole-transporting materials with triphenylamine units

Two novel organic hole-transporting materials have been synthesized by combination of triphenylamines（TPA） viaπ-conjugated bonds using Wittig reaction.The structures were characterized by NMR,FT-IR and HRMS.The optical,electrochemical and thermal properties of the materials were studied in detail.The results show that these two compounds have blue emission,proper HOMO levels and high thermal stability.Furthermore,a quantum chemical calculation on electron distribution of the two compounds was performed, which suggests the current synthesized materials would be promising candidates for hole-transporting materials.
