Popis: New triaryldiamines, Adm-TPD and Adm-NPD, which contain a spiro(adamantane-2,9′-fluorene) core, have been synthesized and characterized. We believe that because of the presence of the rigid spiro-fluorene core, these triaryldiamines exhibit higher glass transition temperatures and have a less tendency to crystallize relative to their biphenyl analogs. Additionally, electrochemical studies showed that the planarity of the fluorene core leads to lower ionization potentials and greater degrees of π conjugation between the two amino groups. AFM measurements demonstrated that high-quality amorphous films of Adm-NPD with good morphological stability were prepared by vapor deposition. Electroluminescent devices using Adm-NPD as a hole-transporting layer—i.e., having the configuration ITO/Adm-NPD/Alq 3 /LiF/Al—emit a bright green light that is characteristic of Alq 3 .
