Green light-emitting 3,6-bis(diarylamino)carbazoles (see Figure; R = H, Me,
OMe) have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed amination of 3,6-dibromo
carbazole, it is reported. The performance of electroluminescent devices wi
th these compounds as the hole-transport/emitting layer is shown to rival t
hat of standard organic light-emitting devices.
