Ambipolar host materials have been shown to increase efficiency and stability in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) by balancing electron and hole charge transport. These materials are key components in long-lived blue OLEDs, the development of which remains the key obstacle to creating organic solid-state white lighting. We present the synthesis and photophysical characterization of a series of 1,2-azaborine-containing potential ambipolar hosts. Theoretical calculations demonstrating the electronic charge distribution and relative HOMO/LUMO energies of these molecules will also be discussed.
