RESUMO
Ultrapure deep-blue emitters are in high demand for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Although color coordinates serve as straightforward parameters for assessing color purity, precise control over the maximum wavelength and full-width at half-maximum is necessary to optimize OLED performance, including luminance efficiency and luminous efficacy. Multiple-resonance (MR) emitters are promising candidates for achieving ideal luminescence properties; consequently, a wide variety of MR frameworks have been developed. However, most of these emitters experience a wavelength displacement from the ideal color, which limits their practical applicability. Therefore, a molecular design that is compatible with MR emitters for modulating their energy levels and color output is particularly valuable. Here, it is demonstrated that the azepine donor unit induces an appropriate blue-shift in the emission maximum while maintaining efficient MR characteristics, including high photoluminescence quantum yield, narrow emission, and a fast reverse intersystem crossing rate. OLEDs using newly developed MR emitters based on the ν-DABNA framework simultaneously exhibit a high quantum efficiency of ≈30%, luminous efficacy of ≈20 lm W-1, exceptional color purity with Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage coordinates as low as (0.14, 0.06), and notably high operational stability. These results demonstrate unprecedentedly high levels compared with those observed in previously reported deep-blue emitters.
RESUMO
This study describes the total synthesis of macaranin B, a naturally occurring ellagitannin containing 1-O-galloyl and 3,6-O-macaranoyl groups in an axial-rich d-glucose. The key steps of the synthesis include an oxidative coupling reaction of galloyl groups with 1,2,4-orthoacetylglucose moiety and oxa-Michael addition/elimination using an orthoquinone monoketal. This facilitates the construction of the macaranoyl group and the first total synthesis of macaranin B.
