Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are currently under intense investigation for use in next-generation display technologies. Research into the fundamental properties of the materials used in OLEDs, such as structure and vibrational modes, will help provide experimental probes which are required to gain insight into the processes leading to device degradation and failure. Calculations using the hybrid B3LYP functional and the split-valence polarized 6-31G(d) basis set have been carried out to assign the IR bands of the OLED hole transport material N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4″-diamine (NPB). Excellent agreement was found between the computed and experimental wavenumbers allowing the reliable assignment of major IR bands. Comparison of the reflection absorption IR (RAIRS) spectra obtained from room temperature and thermally annealed NPB thin films indicates that, upon annealing, structural changes occur and the average orientation of the NPB naphthyl groups become predominately flat with respect to the surface.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
