Abstract: Diazene sulphonates are readily available compounds which are soluble in water and polar solvents. They strongly absorb the UV-VIS light and they decompose under UV irradiation via radical or ionic intermediates. These properties render them valuable, e.g. for analytical purposes and for photo-printing. In this presentation, it will be demonstrated that polymers with a pendant diazene sulphonate function as cross-linking agents and with pendant aromatic amines as hole-transporters can be considered as useful materials for organic light-emitting device (OLED) technology.

Keywords: diazene sulphonate – polymer – OLED – cross-linking
