通过Suzuki反应合成了三种基于三苯胺/二苯砜的热激活延迟荧光(TADF)材料(1-3),采用紫外-可见(UV-Vis)吸收光谱、时间分辨荧光发射光谱、循环伏安(CV)测试、理论计算、热重分析和差示扫描量热法,系统地研究了三种材料的光物理、电化学、延迟荧光性能和热稳定性.材料1-3均为基于分子内电荷转移(ICT)的双极性分子.三种材料在薄膜中的单线态-三线态能级差分别为0.46、0.39和0.29 eV.荧光量子效率和荧光寿命的测试结果表明,三种材料均能发射延迟荧光,其中材料3具有最佳的延迟荧光性能.材料1-3的最高占有分子轨道(HOMO)能级分别为-4.91、-4.89和-4.89 eV.结合UV-Vis吸收光谱中得到的能隙(E_g)值,我们得到材料1-3的最低未占分子轨道(LUMO)能级,分别为-1.74、-1.89和-1.94 eV.热分析的结果表明,材料1-3具有其较高的热分解温度(T_d,失重5%时的温度),分别为436、387和310 ℃.

ThermallycFluorescence Materials Based on Triphenylamine/Diphenyl Sulfone

A series of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials (1-3) based on triphenylamine/diphenyl sulfone were synthesized by Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. The optical, electrochemical, delayed fluorescence, and thermal properties of these materials were characterized by UVVis spectroscopy, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic measurements, cyclic voltammetry (CV), theoretical calculations, thermal gravimetric analyses, and differential scanning calorimetry. Materials 1-3 are bipolar compounds based on intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), and they have small energy gaps between the singlet and triplet (ΔE_ST) of 0.46, 0.39, and 0.29 eV, respectively. The results of fluorescent quantum yields and fluorescent lifetime indicate that these materials can emit delayed fluorescence, and material 3 has the greatest potential as a TADF emitter among materials 1-3. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels of materials 1-3 were estimated to be -4.91, -4.89, and -4.89 eV, respectively. From the HOMO energy levels and the optical bandgap (E_g) values, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels were estimated to be -1.74, -1.89, and -1.94 eV for materials 1-3, respectively. Thermal gravimetric analysis results reveal that materials 1-3 have high thermal decomposition temperatures (T_d), corresponding to 5% weight loss at 436, 387, and 310 ℃, respectively.
