Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have by now demonstrated efficiencies that enable applications not only for display functions but also for lighting purposes. Current efficient OLEDs are typically fabricated using host-guest-systems. The investigation of excited state formation can help to find ways to suppress efficiency lowering effects like intermolecular excited states. Understanding of the underlying inter- and intra-molecular processes that lead to the formation of excited states can help to optimise host materials. Here we present a comparative spectroscopic study of six hole-transporting materials. These materials consist of a polystyrene backbone with triphenylamine derivatives as pendent side chains. Absorption and photoluminescence measurements as well as time resolved spectroscopy were used to assign emission from singlet, triplet and intermolecular states and determine the transition rates between these states. Furthermore, we discuss the relation between chemical structure and formation of intermolecular states.
