ABSTRACT

We investigated the effects of sterically nonrestricted electron-accepting substituents of three isomeric indolocarbazole derivatives on their aggregation-induced emission enhancement, mechanochromic luminescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The compounds are potentially efficient emitters for host-free organic light-emitting diodes. The films of indolocarbazole derivatives exhibit emissions with wavelengths of fluorescence intensity maxima from 483 to 500 nm and photoluminescence quantum yields from 31 to 58%. The ionization potentials of the solid samples, measured by photoelectron emission spectrometry, are in the narrow range of 5.78-5.99 eV. The electron affinities of the solid samples are in the range of 2.99-3.19 eV. The layers of the derivatives show diverse charge-transporting properties with maximum hole mobility reaching 10-4 cm2/Vs at high electric fields. An organic light-emitting diode with a light-emitting layer of neat compound shows a turn-on voltage of 4.1 V, a maximum brightness of 24,800 cd/m2, a maximum current efficiency of 12.5 cd/A and an external quantum efficiency of ca. 4.8%. When the compounds are used as hosts, green electroluminescent devices with an external quantum efficiency of ca. 11% are obtained. The linking topology of the isomeric derivatives of indolo[2,3-a]carbazole and indolo[3,2-b]carbazole and the electron-accepting anchors influences their properties differently, such as aggregation-induced emission enhancement, mechanochromic luminescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence, charge-transporting, and electroluminescent properties. The derivative indolo[3,2-b]carbazole displays good light-emitting properties, while the derivatives of indolo[2,3-a]carbazole show good hosting properties, which make them useful for application in electroluminescent devices.

ABSTRACT

Two compounds based on pyridazine as the acceptor core and 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine or phenoxazine donor moieties were designed and synthesized by Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling reaction. The electronic, photophysical, and electrochemical properties of the compounds were studied by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), photoluminescence spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and cyclic voltammetry. The compounds are characterized by high thermal stabilities. Their 5% weight loss temperatures are 314 and 336 °C. Complete weight loss of both pyridazine-based compounds was detected by TGA, indicating sublimation. The derivative of pyridazine and 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine is capable of glass formation. Its glass transition temperature is 80 °C. The geometries and electronic characteristics of the compounds were substantiated using density functional theory (DFT). The compounds exhibited emission from the intramolecular charge transfer state manifested by positive solvatochromism. The emission in the range of 534-609 nm of the toluene solutions of the compounds is thermally activated delayed fluorescence with lifetimes of 93 and 143 ns, respectively.

ABSTRACT

Motivated to minimize the effects of solid-state solvation and conformation disorder on emission properties of donor-acceptor-type emitters, we developed five new asymmetric multiple donor-acceptor type derivatives of tert-butyl carbazole and trifluoromethyl benzene exploiting different electron-accepting anchoring groups. Using this design strategy, for a compound containing four di-tert-butyl carbazole units as donors as well as 5-methyl pyrimidine and trifluoromethyl acceptor moieties, small singlet-triplet splitting of ca. 0.03 eV, reverse intersystem crossing rate of 1 × 106 s-1, and high photoluminescence quantum yield of neat film of ca. 75% were achieved. This compound was also characterized by the high value of hole and electron mobilities of 8.9 × 10-4 and 5.8 × 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1 at an electric field of 4.7 × 105 V/cm, showing relatively good hole/electron balance, respectively. Due to the lowest conformational disorder and solid-state solvation effects, this compound demonstrated very similar emission properties (emission colors) in non-doped and differently doped organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The lowest conformational disorder was observed for the compound with the additional accepting moiety inducing steric hindrance, limiting donor-acceptor dihedral rotational freedom. It can be exploited in the multi-donor-acceptor approach, increasing the efficiency. Using an emitter exhibiting the minimized solid-state solvation and conformation disorder effects, the sky blue OLED with the emitting layer of this compound dispersed in host 1,3-bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene displayed an emission peak at 477 nm, high brightness over 39 000 cd/m2, and external quantum efficiency up to 15.9% along with a maximum current efficiency of 42.6 cd/A and a maximum power efficiency of 24.1 lm/W.
