9-(1-Naphthalenyl)-10-(4-(2-naphthalenyl)phenyl)anthracene

9-(1-Naphthalenyl)-10-(4-(2-naphthalenyl)phenyl)anthracene (BH) could be used as a blue host in the fabrication of blue OLED device. BH is a host material with a high molecular weight and a great steric hindrance by introducing bulky aromatic rings and rigid cardo structure, and BH have a high thermal stability (T_g of 131 °C; T_m of 274 °C; and T_d of 367 °C).

With a ET of 1.50 eV, BH is a very popular blue fluorescent host material due to its large band gap (E_g = 3.0 eV).
