The film-forming capability of the host plays a crucial role in effectively forming a light-emitting layer through a solution process in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this study, we synthesized two side-chain polymer hosts, and , consisting of carbazole and dibenzothiophene. The synthesis was carried out through radical polymerization using styrene-based host monomers.

Cy-tmCPBN, characterized by an asymmetric molecular dyad structure, integrates a host unit (tmCP) and a multiple-resonance (MR) emitter (CzBN) a non-conjugated cyclohexane linker. Cy-tmCPBN exhibited efficient intramolecular energy transfers (EnTs) from tmCP to the CzBN unit, as confirmed by time-resolved fluorescence experiments.

Cy-DtCzBN possesses a dimeric V-shaped structure formed by coupling two individual DtCzBN units via a nonconjugated cyclohexane linker. When compared with DtCzBN, Cy-DtCzBN, as a medium-sized molecule, was found to maintain the optical and photophysical properties of the corresponding monomeric unit, DtCzBN, but exhibits high thermal stability, excellent solubility, and good film-forming ability.
