Four new quinoxaline-containing compounds with highly twisted structures were designed as electron transport materials.
The LUMO distributions of these compounds can be manipulated by adjusting the locations of quinoxaline moieties.
Using them as ETLs, the Firpic-based electrophosphorescent devices achieved a ηc,max of 30.2 cd A−1 and a ηext,max of 14.2%.
These efficiencies reveal smaller roll-offs at high luminance in contrast to the TmPyPB based device.
