Abstract

Novel phenothiazine derivatives were designed and synthesized for application as electroluminescent materials. They were characterized by means of 1H, 13C NMR and FTIR. The optical, electrochemical and thermal properties were also investigated. The relationship between the chemical structure and the properties of these materials was evaluated. Due to the introduction of thiophene ring, these compounds exhibited efficient emission from blue to green and red shifs in absorption and photoluminescence spectra. With respect to thermal properties and the oxidation potentials, it can be turned by varying the conjugation length of compounds and the length of alkyl chains. Mostly, all four compounds had suited HOMO and LUMO energy levels which can be used not only hole-transporting but also electron-tansporting materials in organic light-emitting devices.
