Abstract
The invention relates to mixtures comprising at least one polymer, additionally comprising structural units containing at least one element from the 4th main group different from carbon and additionally comprising structural units that are triplet emissives. The inventive materials are better suited to the use in phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes than comparable prior art materials.
