Starting from N,N-diarylsubstituted thioureas 20 and thioacetamides 21 a series of heterocyclic analogous of N,N′-perarylated phenylene-1,4-diamines and benzidines was obtained. These compounds represent, as studied by DSC measurements, a new class of hole transporting materials with high thermal stability and high tendency to form stable amorphous states. Moreover, some of the new compounds are, as measured by cyclic voltammetry, easily reversibly oxidized indicating the formation of persistent radical ions. Such compounds, which are, in general, completely substituted by aryl groups at their heterocyclic moieties, have been successfully used as hole-transport materials in OLEDs.
