To improve on the film-forming properties of THP and compatibility with PVK, we are modifying the alkyl groups of the pyrrolidines on their two possible modifiable sites; at the ring (currently methyl groups) and nitrogen (currently hydrogen). These should prevent phase segregation and self-quenching of the luminescence.
