Synthesis and optoelectronic properties of silole‐containing polyfluorenes with binary structures

2,5‐Bis(2‐bromofluorene‐7‐yl)silole was prepared by a modified one‐pot synthesis with a reverse addition procedure, from which novel silole‐containing polyfluorenes with binary random and alternating structures (silole contents between 4.5 and 25% and high M_w up to 509 kDa were successfully synthesized. The well‐defined repeating unit of the alternating copolymer comprises a terfluorene and a silole ring. Optoelectronic properties including UV absorption, electrochemistry, photoluminescence (PL), and electroluminescence (EL) of the copolymers were examined. The different excitation energy transfers from fluorene to silole of the copolymers in solution and in the solid state were compared. The films of the copolymers showed silole‐dominant green emissions with high absolute PL quantum yields up to 83%. EL devices of the copolymers with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT/copolymer/Ba/Al displayed exclusive silole emissions peaked at around 543 nm and the highest EL efficiency was achieved with the alternating copolymer. Using the alternating copolymer and poly(9,9‐dioctylfluorene) as the blend‐type emissive layer, a maximum external quantum efficiency of 1.99% (four times to that of the neat film) was realized, which was a high efficiency so far reported for silole‐containing polymers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Swelling Ratios and Rates of Sulfonation of Solvent Modified Copolymers of Styrene Cross-Linked with Pure m-and Pure p-Divinylbenzene

Solvent-modified (toluene) copolymers have been prepared from styrene cross-linked with commercial divinylbenzene, m-divinylbenzene, and p-divinylbenzene at divinyl monomer contents of 16 mole % and 32 mole % at F_M = 0.50. The resultant copolymers have been characterized by swelling-ratio determinations and rates of sulfonation at 60 and 80°C. The solvent-modified 16 mole % cross-linked copolymers sulfonated at rates slightly greater than those characterizing the 8 mole % cross-linked copolymers prepared in the absence of diluent. The order of decreasing sulfonation rates for both the conventional 8 mole % cross-linked systems and for the solvent-modified 16 mole % cross-linked copolymers is commercial divinylbenzene/styrene, p-divinylbenzene/styrene, m-divinylbenzene styrene. The 32 mole % cross-linked systems exhibit a different order of decreasing sulfonation rates: commercial divinylbenzene/styrene, m-divinylbenzene/styrene, p-divinylbenzene/styrene. The swelling ratios of the 32 mole % solvent-modified copolymers were comparable to those of the conventional 8 mole % cross-linked systems.     

一类窄带隙芴基共聚物的合成及其在发光二极管和太阳电池中的应用

Single layer light‐emitting diodes from copolymers comprised of mesogen‐jacketed polymer containing oxadiazole units and PVK

A series of copolymers PCt‐co‐Poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) were synthesized through common radical polymerization, in which P‐Ct as a kind of mesogen‐jacketed liquid crystalline polymer was introduced, and the effects of copolymers composing variation on the optical properties of the polymers were studied. The structures and properties of the copolymers were characterized and evaluated by thermogravimetric (TGA), UV, photoluminescence (PL), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electroluminescence (EL) analyses. All the polymers enjoy high thermal stability. PL peaks in the film show blue‐shift compared with in solutions and fluorescent quantum efficiency decreased with the N‐vinylcarbazole (nvk) content increasing, which supported the efficient energy transfer from nvk units to the oxadiazole units. CV revealed that, with the incorporation of nvk to the copolymer, these copolymers had high‐lying HOMO energy levels ranging from ?5.94 to ?6.09 eV. Single‐layer light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT/PCt‐nvk/Mg:Ag/Ag were fabricated, which emit a blue light around 450 and 490 nm with a maximum luminance of 703 cd/m². The device performance varies with the content of nvk and device configuration, with device configuration ( b ) and PCt‐nvk8 giving the best value of external quantum efficiency of 0.27%. We show here that by proper design copolymer structure and modification of device configuration can exhibit strong blue EL in higher external quantum efficiency. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Versatile preparation of poly(1,4‐phenylenevinylene‐co‐1,4‐phenylene‐1,2‐ethanediyl) by CVD polymerization of p‐(methoxymethyl)benzyl chloride

It was demonstrated that a series of copolymers consisting of 1,4‐phenylenevinylene (PV) and 1,4‐phenylene‐1,2‐ethanediyl (PE) units could be prepared from a single monomer, p‐(methoxymethyl)benzyl chloride, via the chemical vapor deposition polymerization (CVDP) method. The composition of the copolymers could be varied simply by altering the monomer activation temperature. The higher the temperature, the lower the content of the PV unit. The photo (PL)‐ and electroluminescence (EL) properties of the copolymers that revealed a blueshift when compared with PPV strongly depend on the amount of the PE units incorporated. The external quantum efficiencies of the electroluminescence devices having the configuration of ITO/PEDOT‐PSS/copolymer/Al‐Li were higher than that of PPV, which can be ascribed to the improved confinement of excitons. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cationic IrIII Emitters with Near-Infrared Emission Beyond 800 nm and Their Use in Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Solid-state near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting devices have recently received considerable attention as NIR light sources that can penetrate deep into human tissue and are suitable for bioimaging and labeling. In addition, solid-state NIR light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) have shown several promising advantages over NIR organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). However, among the reported NIR LECs based on ionic transition-metal complexes (iTMCs), there is currently no iridium-based LEC that displays NIR electroluminescence (EL) peaks near to or above 800 nm. In this report we demonstrate a simple method for adjusting the energy gap between the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of iridium-based iTMCs to generate NIR emission. We describe a series of novel ionic iridium complexes with very small energy gaps, namely NIR1 – NIR6 , in which 2,3-diphenylbenzo[g]quinoxaline moieties mainly take charge of the HOMO energy levels and 2,2′-biquinoline, 2-(quinolin-2-yl)quinazoline, and 2,2′-bibenzo[d]thiazole moieties mainly control the LUMO energy levels. All the complexes exhibited NIR phosphorescence, with emission maxima up to 850 nm, and have been applied as components in LECs, showing a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.05 % in the EL devices. By using a host–guest emissive system, with the iridium complex RED as the host and the complex NIR3 or NIR6 as guest, the highest EQE of the LECs can be further enhanced to above 0.1 %.     

Synthesis of silicon‐bridged polythiophene derivatives and their applications to EL device materials

Palladium‐catalyzed oxidative homo‐coupling of 2,6‐bis(tributylstannyl)dithienosiloles with CuCl₂ afforded poly(dithienosilole‐2,6‐diyl)s as novel polythiophene derivatives with intra‐chain silicon bridges, which exhibited red‐shifted UV absorption maxima by about 100 nm from those of the corresponding silole‐free polythiophenes. Alternate copolymers also were prepared by palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions of 2,6‐dibromodithienosiloles with distannylthiophene or bithophene. These polymer films were applied to single and double‐layered organic electroluminescence devices. It was found that some of the resulting polymers exhibited electroluminescence properties and emitted red light in EL devices with the structure of ITO/polymer/Mg‐Ag. Introducing an electron‐transporting Alq3 layer between the polymer film and the Mg‐Ag cathode led to a remarkable improvement in the devices performance. An application of the copolymer to a field effect transistor was also studied. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 4588–4596, 2007     

Synthesis and characterization of new light‐emitting copolymers in polymeric‐light‐emitting‐diode device fabrications

A series of thiophene‐containing photoactive copolymers consisting of alternating conjugated and nonconjugated segments were synthesized. The ¹H NMR spectra corroborated the well‐defined structures, and the copolymers not only were soluble in common organic solvents but also had high glass‐transition temperatures (ca. 130 °C) and good thermal stability up to 390 °C. Introducing aliphatic functional groups, such as alkyl or alkoxyl, into chromophores of the copolymers redshifted the photoluminescence spectra and lowered the optical bandgaps. The electrochemical bandgaps calculated from cyclic voltammetry agreed with the optical bandgaps and thus indicated that electroluminescence and photoluminescence originated from the same excited state. The energy levels (highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) of all the copolymers were lower than those of poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2′‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1.4‐phenylenevinylene] MEH–PPV, indicating balanced hole and electron injection, which led to improved performance in both single‐layer and double‐layer polymeric‐light‐emitting‐diode devices fabricated with these copolymers. All the copolymers emitted bluish‐green or green light above the threshold bias of 5.0 V under ambient conditions. At the maximum bias of 10 V, the electroluminescence of a device made of poly(2‐{4‐[2‐(3‐ethoxy phenyl)ethylene]phenyl}‐5‐{4‐[2‐(3‐ethoxy,4‐1,8‐octanedioxy phenyl)ethylene]phenyl}thiophene) was 5836 cd/m². The external electroluminescence efficiency decreased with the lifetime as the polymer degraded. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 3954–3966, 2004

Conjugated copolymers comprised cyanophenyl‐substituted spirobifluorene and tricarbazole‐triphenylamine repeat units for blue‐light‐emitting diodes

A series of conjugated blue‐light‐emitting copolymers, PTC‐1 , PTC‐2 , and PTC‐3, comprised different ratios of electron‐withdrawing segments (spirobifluorene substituted with cyanophenyl groups) and electron‐donating segments (tricarbazole‐triphenylamines), has been synthesized. The structures of these polymers were characterized and their thermal, photophysical, electrochemical, and electroluminescence properties were measured. Incorporation of rigid spirobifluorene units into the copolymers led to blue‐shifted absorption peaks in dilute toluene solution. Cyclic voltammetric measurement indicated the bandgaps of the polymers were in the range of 2.77–2.94 eV. It was found that increasing cyanophenyl‐spirobifluorene content in the polymer backbone lowered both the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the copolymers, which was beneficial for electron injection/transporting in the polymer layer of the device. OLED device evaluation indicated that all the polymers emitted sky blue to deep blue light when the pure polymers were used as the emissive layers in the devices with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymers/CsF/Ca/Al. The devices have been optimized by doping 30 wt % PBD into the polymer layers. Among the doped devices, PTC‐2 showed the best performance with the turn‐on voltage of 3.0 V, maximum brightness of 7257 cd/m², maximum current efficiency of 1.76 cd/A, and CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.14). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

D–π–A polysulfones for blue electroluminescence

Donor–π–acceptor type fluorene‐based copolymers with a sulfone unit were designed and synthesized for application in efficient pure‐blue light emitting.

The initial positive scan of the D–π–A polysulfone based light emitting electrochemical cell with a sweep rate of 0.1 V s^?1 afforded a maximum luminance of 1080 cd m^?2 with a current efficiency of 1.96 cd A^?1 at an operating voltage of 12.5 V. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Photoluminescence and Electroluminescence Properties of 2,5-Bis[2,2′-bis(5-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole] Thiophene(T-OXD)and T-OXD/Poly(9-vinylcarbazole) Blends

The photoluminescence(PL) and the electroluminescence(EL) properties of a novel organic compound, 2,5-bis(2,2′-bis(5-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(T-OXD), were studied in chloroform and in a solid thin film. The PL and the EL properties of T-OXD/poly(9-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) blends were also studied, which contained various contents of T-OXD. The PL maximum emission peaks of T-OXD/PVK blends show gradual bathochromtic-shift with the increase of the T-OXD content. The EL spectra of T-OXD/PVK devices are similar to their PL spectra, and all the EL maximum emission peaks show bathochromtic-shift compared with the corresponding PL spectra, which is ascribed to the formation of electroplex. The turn-on voltages for ITO/T-OXD:PVK/Al devices decreased from 13.5 V of the device cotaining 0.1% T-OXD(mass fraction) to 5 V of the device containing 5% T-OXD, which suggests that T-OXD improves the energy level match between T-OXD and PVK and enhances the emission efficiency. The experimental results indicate that T-OXD can be used as a good electron transporting material.
