High hole mobilities in the amorphous films of 2,7-di(9-carbazolyl)-9-(2-ethylhexyl)carbazole
2,7-Di(9-carbazolyl)-9-(2-ethylhexyl)carbazole was synthesized and investigated as new effective hole-transporting material. The synthesized compound showed high thermal stability with the initial weight loss temperature of 400 degrees C. It forms glass with glass-transition temperature of 88 degrees C. Hole drift mobilities in the amorphous films of the newly synthesized compound exceeded 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) at high electric field, as characterized by the xerographic time of flight technique.
