The study focuses on the synthesis of novel carbazole-quinoxaline hybrid derivatives centered around a 1,3,5-benzene core, which are designed to serve as bipolar host materials for phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs). These hybrids combine electron-rich carbazole and electron-deficient quinoxaline moieties, leading to twisted structures with good glass-forming properties and a bipolar character, which are essential for balanced carrier transport in PHOLEDs. The synthesized compounds exhibit triplet energies within the range of 2.34–2.53 eV, making them potential candidates as host materials in PHOLEDs. The chemicals used in the study include 1,3,5-tribromobenzene, 1,4-dibromobenzene, tert-butyl bromobenzene, TMS-acetylene, o-phenylenediamine, and other reagents involved in the Ullmann and Sonogashira coupling reactions, as well as materials for electrochemical and thermal analyses. These chemicals serve the purpose of constructing the desired molecular structures and characterizing the properties of the synthesized compounds.
