Efficient deep-blue light-emitting polyfluorenes based on 9,9-dimethyl-9H-thioxanthene 10,10-dioxide isomers

We have designed and synthesized a series of deep-blue light-emitting polyfluorenes, PF-27SOs and PF-36SOs, by introducing electron-deficient 9,9-dimethyl-9H-thioxanthene 10,10-dioxide isomers (27SO and 36SO) into the poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) backbone. Compared with PFO, the resulting polymers exhibit an equivalent thermal decomposition temperature (>415 °C), an enhanced glass transition temperature (>99 °C), a decreased lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level (E_LUMO) below −2.32 eV, a blue-shifted photoluminescence spectra in solid film with a maximum emission at ~422 nm, and a shoulder peak at ~445 nm. The resulting polymers also show blue-shifted and narrowed electroluminescence spectra with deep-blue Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.16, 0.07) for PF-27SO20 and (0.16, 0.06) for PF-36SO30, compared with (0.17, 0.13) for PFO. Moreover, simple device based on PF-36SO30 achieves a superior device performance with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE_max = 3.62%) compared with PFO (EQE_max = 0.47%). The results show that nonconjugated 9,9-dimethyl-9H-thioxanthene 10,10-dioxide isomers can effectively perturb the conjugation length of polymers, significantly weaken the charge-transfer effect in donor–acceptor systems, substantially improve electroluminescence device efficiency, and achieve deep-blue light emission.     

Full color light‐emitting electrospun nanofibers prepared from PFO/MEH‐PPV/PMMA ternary blends

In this study, luminescence electrospun (ES) nanofibers based on ternary blends of poly(9,9‐dioctylfluoreny‐2,7‐diyl) (PFO)/poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene] (MEH‐PPV)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared from chloroform solutions using a single capillary spinneret. Effects of PFO/MEH‐PPV ratio on the morphology and photophysical properties were studied while the PMMA weight percentage was fixed at 90 wt %. The morphologies of the prepared ES fibers were characterized by FE‐SEM and fluorescence microscopy. The obtained fibers had diameters around a few hundred nm and pore sizes in the range of 30–35 nm. The emission colors of the PFO/MEH‐PPV/PMMA blend ES fibers changed from blue, white, yellowish‐green, greenish‐yellow, orange, to yellow, as the MEH‐PPV composition increased. In contrast, the emission colors of the corresponding spin‐coated films were blue, orange, pink‐red, red, and deep‐red. Based on the values of solubility parameters, the PFO and MEH‐PPV are miscible to each other and trapped in the PMMA matrix. Hence, energy transfer between these two polymers is possible. The smaller aggregated domains in the ES fiber compared to those of spin‐coated films possibly reduce the efficiency of energy transfer, leading to different emission colors. Also, the prepared ES fibers had higher photoluminescence efficiencies than those of the spin‐coated films. Pure white light‐emitting fibers prepared from the PFO/MEH‐PPV/PMMA blend ratio of 9.5/0.5/90 had the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.33, 0.31). Our results showed that different color light‐emitting ES fibers were produced through optimizing the composition of semiconducting polymer in the transparent polymer matrix. This type of ES fibers could have potential applications as new light sources or sensory materials for smart textiles. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High-efficiency red-light emission from polyfluorenes grafted with cyclometalated iridium complexes and charge transport moiety

We report a new route for the design of electroluminescent polymers by grafting high-efficiency phosphorescent organometallic complexes as dopants and charge transport moieties onto alky side chains of fully conjugated polymers for polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) with single layer/single polymers. The polymer system studied involves polyfluorene (PF) as the base conjugated polymer, carbazole (Cz) as the charge transport moiety and a source for green emission by forming an electroplex with the PF main chain, and cyclometalated iridium (Ir) complexes as the phosphorescent dopant. Energy transfer from the green Ir complex or an electroplex formed between the fluorene main chain and side-chain carbazole moieties, in addition to that from the PF main chain, to the red Ir complex can significantly enhance the device performance, and a red light-emitting device with the high efficiency 2.8 cd/A at 7 V and 65 cd/m2, comparable to that of the same Ir complex-based OLED, and a broad-band light-emitting device containing blue, green, and red peaks (2.16 cd/A at 9 V) are obtained.     

Green emission from end-group-enhanced aggregation in polydioctylfluorene

Green emission in polyfluorenes (PFs) has been attributed to aggregation or excimer emission, but recently it was reassigned as an on-chain fluorenone defect. We show here that, in dialkyl-substituted PFs that is hydrogen-free at the 9'-position of the fluorene, blue emission with very weak green emission is observed from end-capped polydioctylfluorene (PFO) for both photoluminescence and electroluminescence spectra, while the low-energy green emission at 507 nm is very pronounced only in uncapped PFO (PFOun). The facts that there is no detectable infrared absorption at around 1721 cm(-1) due to >C=O stretching vibration in PFOun and no charge-trapping occurring in the light-emitting device from PFOun are in contrast with those found in the literature-reported copolymers with fluorenone units, which have detectable infrared absorption at 1721 cm(-1) and charge-trapping in devices. We found that this green emission at around 507 nm originates from the end-group-enhanced aggregation by use of UV-vis absorption, photoexcitation spectra, and steady-state photoluminescent and electroluminescent spectra. The end-group-enhanced aggregation is much weaker in other PFs with less-ordered structures.     

High‐efficiency,electrophosphorescent polymers with porphyrin–platinum complexes in the conjugated backbone: Synthesis and device performance

A series of soluble, conjugated, electrophosphorescent copolymers with (meso‐tetraphenylporphyrinato‐κ⁴N)platinum(II) (PtTPP) complexes incorporated into the polymer main chain were synthesized through the copolymerization of narrow‐band‐gap monomeric porphyrin–platinum(II) complexes and wide‐band‐gap dialkyl‐substituted fluorene monomers by a modified Suzuki coupling reaction. The study of the photoluminescence decay indicated that poly[2,7‐(9,9‐dioctylfluorene)‐co‐2,12‐((meso‐tetraphenylporphyrinato‐κ⁴N)platinum(II))] (PFO–PtTPP) was a triplet emitter. The electroluminescence emission from the fluorene segment was completely quenched for copolymers with PtTPP contents as low as 0.5 mol %. The PFO–PtTPP copolymers emitted deep red light. The device based on the porphyrin–platinum(II) copolymer PFO–5PtTPP (with 5 mol % PtTPP in the copolymer) showed the highest external quantum efficiency of 1.95% with an emission peak at 684 nm in an indium tin oxide/poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene)/polyvinylcarbazole (PVK)/70:30 (w/w) PFO–5PtTPP: 2‐(biphenyl‐4‐yl)‐5‐(4‐tert‐butylphenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole/Ba/Al device configuration. In comparison with the PFO–PtTPP copolymers synthesized via a postpolymerization metalation route, copolymerization from Pt metal complexes proved to be a more efficient synthetic route for high‐efficiency electrophosphorescent polymers. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Near‐infrared electroluminescence from fluorene‐based copolymers

A series of random low band‐gap conjugated copolymers (PFO‐DDTQ) derived from 9,9‐dioctylfluorene (DOF) and 6,7‐dimethyl‐4,9‐di(4‐hexylthien‐2‐yl)‐[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4‐g]quinoxalines (DDTQ) are prepared by the palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. The obtained polymers are readily soluble in common organic solvents. The thin solid films of the polymers absorb light from 300 to 840 nm with two absorbance peaks at around 380 and 710 nm. Electroluminescent peaks are between 0.8 and 0.9 μm based on the polymers. The maximal external quantum efficiency reaches 0.30% with the emission peak at 824 nm from PFO‐DDTQ1 based devices. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fluorene copolymers containing bithiophene/2,5‐ or 2,6‐pyridine units: A study of their optical,electrochemical, and electroluminescence properties

Two alternating copolymers, poly[(2,5‐di(2‐thienyl)‐pyridine‐5,5′‐diyl)‐alt‐(9,9‐dioctylfluorene‐2,7‐diyl)], PFO‐TPy25T, and poly[(2,6‐di(2‐thienyl)‐pyridine‐5,5′‐diyl)‐alt‐(9,9‐dioctylfluorene‐2,7‐diyl)], PFO‐TPy26T, were synthesized by the Pd‐catalyzed Suzuki polymerization method. The pyridine units are present as trimeric monomers in these copolymers and have different connectivities to their two neighboring thiophenes, para‐ and meta‐linkages. We investigated the variations in the optical and electrochemical properties of the copolymers that arise from these different connectivities. The two polymers exhibit 5% weight loss above 410 °C and high glass transition temperatures (T_g: 113 °C for PFO‐TPy25T, 142 °C for PFO‐TPy26T). The UV–vis absorption maximum peaks of PFO‐TPy25T and PFO‐TPy26T in the solid state were found to be 449 and 398 nm respectively, with photoluminescence maximum peaks in the solid state of 573 and 490 nm respectively. Using cyclic voltammetry, we determined their energy band gaps: 3.08 eV for PFO‐TPy25T and 3.49 eV for PFO‐TPy25T. The cyclic voltammetry study of these polymers revealed that there are some differences. The electroluminescence (EL) properties of the copolymers were measured for the device configuration of ITO/PEDOT/polymers/Ca/Al. The device fabricated with the polymer containing 2,5‐pyridine exhibits pale orange emission, whereas the device fabricated with the polymer containing 2,6‐pyridine exhibits pale blue emission. The EL device fabricated with PFO‐TPy25T has a higher brightness (2010 cd/m²) and external quantum efficiency (0.1%) than the PFO‐TPy26T device (260 cd/m², 0.008%), because it has a smaller energy barrier to the injection of charges from PEDOT and Ca into the HOMO and LUMO levels. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Charge-transfer complex coupled between polymer and H-aggregate molecular crystals

Crystal needles of N,N′-bis(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4,9,10-perylenebis(dicarboximide) (EPPTC) are produced through p-stacking and are embedded in the thin film of poly(9,9-din-hexylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) when the blend solution of EPPTC and PFO in p-xylene is spin-coated onto a glass substrate. Charge transfer (CT) complex is resolved from the spectroscopic response of the blend film, which is generated only when the PFO molecules are excited. Thus, the PFO molecules are specified as donors and the H-aggregated EPPTC as acceptors in the formation of CT state (CTS). The emission resulting from the CTS in the red is further recognized by its much longer lifetime than both the intrinsic emission of the individual EPPTC molecules and that of their pure aggregates. Near-field analysis verifies that the CTS form on the boundary between the PFO and the crystal phases. The CT exciton forms by bounding the hole left on HOMO of the donor (PFO) and the indirectly transferred electron to the H-aggregate state of EPPTC, which transits back to the ground state by emitting a photon at about 650 nm. This introduces special physics in the heterojunctions that are coupled with the H-aggregates and mechanisms important for the design of organic photovoltaic devices. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
