We have designed and synthesized novel diphenylamine-substituted phenylazomethine dendrimers (DP-Gn, n = 1, 2) as hole-transport materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These dendrimers similar to phenylazomethine dendrimers showed a stepwise metal complexation with metal ions. They have good multi-redox properties attributed to the terminal amine moieties and excellent thermal stabilities. Double layer EL devices utilizing the dendrimers as a hole-transport material and Alq 3 as the emitting and electron transport materials were fabricated. The EL performances of the devices increased with higher dendrimer generations. Moreover, by using the metal ion (0.5 equiv. SnCl 2 )-complexed DP-G2 dendrimers, the luminance and EL efficiency of the devices were drastically increased by more than double and over 30%, respectively. These metal complexable phenylazomethine dendrimers are novel and promising materials for highly efficient OLEDs.
