The title compound, C25H18N4O, is a non-planar bipolar ligand containing triphenylamine and 1,3,4-oxadiazole units. In the molecule, the benzene ring, the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, and the pyridine ring are twisted slightly with respect to each other [dihedral angle between the benzene and 1,3,4-oxadiazole rings = 9.4 (4) and between the 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyridine rings = 3.0 (4)°]. Moreover, the dihedral angles between the two phenyl rings and the benzene ring are 88.2 (4) and 113.3 (4)°, and that between the two phenyl rings is 67.9 (4)°. The closest distances between the pyridine ring and the 1,3,4-oxadiazole and benzene rings in adjacent molecules are 3.316 and 3.363 Å, respectively, indicating the existence of π–π interactions.

The title compound was synthesized via a tetrazole intermediate pathway. Amongst, the 4-tetrazoyltriphenylamine was prepared according to the procedures described elsewhere (Tamoto et al., 1997).
Firstly, the 150 ml water solution of 4-phenylpyridine (1 ml) and KMnO4 (3.16 g) was heated for 12 h. After removal of brown precipitate by filtration, the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid into solution led to the deposition of white crystals. This solid was filtered, washed with water, and dried in the vacuo, and then was refluxed with thionyl chloride (15 ml) for 5 h. Isonicotinoyl chloride could be achieved by removing the solution by rotary evaporation.
A mixture of isonicotinoyl chloride (0.14 g), 4-tetrazolytriphenylamine (0.31 g), and dry pyridine (30 ml) was refluxed for one day under nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into water, and then filtered to collect the solid. The crude product was purified by
on silica gel with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1/5, v/v) as the Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction study were obtained by slow evaporation of ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1/5, v/v) solution.All H-atoms bound to carbon were refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C). In the absence of significant
effects Friedel pairs have been mergedOrganic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted considerable attentions due to potentially practical applications in large-area flat-panel display technologies, as well as to their numerous advantages, such as low cost, light weight, fast response, wide-viewing-angle, and compatibility with flexible substrates (Tang et al., 1987; Yeh et al., 2005).
It is well known that OLED produces light via recombination of electrons and holes, which are injected from electrodes on opposite sides of the device. Furthermore, the balance between the injection and transportation of electron and hole carriers leads to a high luminescence efficiency. Because triphenylamine and the 1,3,4-oxadiazol group possess good properties of hole transportation and electron deficiency, respectively, the compound containing these two groups should be of an increased
and transporting properties, resulting in a more balanced in the emissive layer (Xiang et al., 2006; Chan et al., 1999; Gong et al., 1998). In this contribution, we have synthesized the title compound, C25H18N4O, with both a triphenylamine and a 1,3,4-oxadiazol moieties. This compound emits bright blue-green light under excitation of UV light, which implies its potential application in OLEDs.The molecular skeleton of the title compound is non-planar (Fig.1), with the benzene (A), the 1,3,4-oxadiazol (B) and the pyridine (C) rings being slightly twisted with respect to each other (dihedral angles: (A),(B): 9.4 (4)°; (B),(C): 3.0 (4)°). Between the two adjacent molecules, the closest distances of C3-to-C7 and C4-to-C9 are 3.316 and 3.363 Å, respectively, indicating the existence of π–π interactions. (Fig 2).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted considerable attentions due to potentially practical applications in large-area flat-panel display technologies, as well as to their numerous advantages, such as low cost, light weight, fast response, wide-viewing-angle, and compatibility with flexible substrates (Tang et al., 1987; Yeh et al., 2005).
It is well known that OLED produces light via recombination of electrons and holes, which are injected from electrodes on opposite sides of the device. Furthermore, the balance between the injection and transportation of electron and hole carriers leads to a high luminescence efficiency. Because triphenylamine and the 1,3,4-oxadiazol group possess good properties of hole transportation and electron deficiency, respectively, the compound containing these two groups should be of an increased electron affinity and transporting properties, resulting in a more balanced charge recombination in the emissive layer (Xiang et al., 2006; Chan et al., 1999; Gong et al., 1998). In this contribution, we have synthesized the title compound, C25H18N4O, with both a triphenylamine and a 1,3,4-oxadiazol moieties. This compound emits bright blue-green light under excitation of UV light, which implies its potential application in OLEDs.
The molecular skeleton of the title compound is non-planar (Fig.1), with the benzene (A), the 1,3,4-oxadiazol (B) and the pyridine (C) rings being slightly twisted with respect to each other (dihedral angles: (A),(B): 9.4 (4)°; (B),(C): 3.0 (4)°). Between the two adjacent molecules, the closest distances of C3-to-C7 and C4-to-C9 are 3.316 and 3.363 Å, respectively, indicating the existence of π–π interactions. (Fig 2).
