Experimental 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker 400M spectrometer at room temperature. Mass spectra were recorded on a Thermo ISQ mass spectrometer using direct exposure probe. Elemental analyses were performed using Vario EL III microanalyzer. UV-Vis absorption spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer Lambda 750 spectrophotometer. PL spectra and phosphorescent spectra were recorded on a Hitachi F-4600 fluorescence spectrophotometer. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed on a TA DSC 2010 unit at a heating rate of 10 o C min -1 under nitrogen. The glass transition temperatures (T g ) were determined from the second heating scan. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on a TA SDT 2960 instrument at a heating rate of 10 o C min -1 under nitrogen. Temperatures at 95% weight loss were used as decomposition temperatures (T d ). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was carried out on a CHI600 voltammetric analyzer at room temperature with a conventional three-electrode configuration consisting of a platinum disk working electrode, a platinum wire auxiliary electrode, and an Ag wire pseudo-reference electrode with ferrocenium-ferrocene (Fc + /Fc) as the internal standard. Nitrogen-purged dichloromethane was used as solvent for oxidation scan and DMF for reduction scan with tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) (0.1 M) as the supporting electrolyte. The cyclic voltammograms were obtained at scan rate of 100 mv s -1. UPS analysis were carried out with an unfiltered HeI (21.2 ev) gas discharge lamp and a hemispherical analyzer. DFT calculations were performed using B3LYP/6-31G(D) atomic basis set.

2. OLED fabrication and measurement. Hexaazatriphenylenehexacabonitrile (HAT-CN), 1,1-bis(4-bis(4-bethylphenyl)aminophenyl)cyclohexane, (TAPC), 8-hydroxyquinolinolato-lithium (Liq), 1,3,5-tri[(3-pyridyl)-phen-3-yl]benzene (TmPyPB), bis[3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl]-(2-carboxypyridyl)iridium(iii) (FIrpic) and bis(4-phenylthieno[3,2-c]pyridinato-n,c 2 ')acetylacetonate iridium(iii) (PO-01) were commercially available. OLEDs were fabricated on 0.7 mm thick glass substrates precoated with a transparent indium-tin oxide (ITO) conductive layer having a thickness of ca. 100 nm and a sheet resistance of ca. 30 Ω per square. The substrates, after being cleaned, dried, and treated with UV ozone successively, were transferred into a vacuum chamber for sequential deposition of all organic and metal layers on top of the substrates under a vacuum of ca. 2 10-6 Torr. The deposition rates and doping concentrations of materials were controlled and measured in situ using calibrated thickness monitors. After the deposition of all layers, four identical OLEDs were formed on each of the substrates, and each OLED had an emission area of 0.09 cm 2. The EL characteristics of all the devices were evaluated using a KEITHLEY 2400 SourceMeter constant current source and a PHOTO RESEARCH SpectraScan PR 655 photometer at room temperature. 3. Syntheses of materials. 2-Bromotriphenylamine, 2-bromophenylcarbazole, 3-bromofluorenone, STBr2 were synthesized according to literature. [1] Dibenzothiophene-4-boronic acid and dibenzothiophene-2-boronic acid were purchased from Bepharm Chemical (China). THF was purified by PURE SOLV (Innovative Technology) purification system. Other reactants or reagents were used as received. 3.1 General procedures for STBr3 and SCzBr3. 2-bromotriphenylamine or 2-bromophenylcarbazole was dissolved in THF under nitrogen.

And the mixture was stirred under -78 o C for another 1 h, then allowed to gradually warm to room temperature overnight. 10 ml water was added to terminate the reaction. After organic solvent was evaporated, dichloromethane was added to dissolve the crude product. The organic layer was washed with water, separated and evaporated to remove solvent. The resulting crude product was dissolved in 150 ml acetic acid and 30 ml hydrochloric acid (11 M). After refluxed for 5 h, the mixture was poured into 500 ml cold water and filtered.
