  • Patent number: 7227027
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a series of carbazole derivatives which are used in organic electroluminescent devices as the phosphorescent host materials of the emissive layers. The carbazole derivatives have glass transition temperature of between 70° C. and 220° C. and triplet energy of 2.62 eV or more. The carbazole derivatives comprise two carbazole groups and alkyl group and/or spiro group inserted between the carbazole group and aromatic group, which is represented by formula 1. The carbazole derivatives according to the present invention are used as host materials for the triplet emissive dyes and they have high energy and stability. They can also reduce the converse energy transfer from the dye molecules to the host molecules and improve the luminance and efficiency of the OLEDs, especially the efficiency and lifetime of the blue triplet OLEDs.

  • Patent number: 7220869
    Abstract: The invention relates to a class of novel Brønsted acidic ionic liquids each having a lactam cation, and to a method for preparing the same through simple neutralization reaction of a lactam, which is available in large scale from industry, with a Brønsted inorganic or organic acid under room temperature. The properties of the lactam Brønsted acidic ionic liquids are as follows: they are water- and moisture-stable; they are more environmentally benign and lower cost than that of dialkylimidazolium salts; they have stronger Brønsted acidity and can be used as acidic catalysts and media instead of inorganic corrosive acids, such as concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid, in many acid-catalyzed reactions; and they can also be used as green media for extraction and separation.
