title: Non-amine-based furan-containing oligoaryls as efficient hole transporting materials.
abstract: A new class of highly stable furan-based hole transporting oligomeric materials, synthesized from the corresponding propargylic dithioacetals, serve as efficient hole transporting materials in electroluminescent devices. The performance of the devices using these furan materials is comparable with or somewhat better than those employing the conventional triarylamines (e.g. alpha-NPD).
