一种新型的蓝光发射材料δ-Alq3的制备与光谱分析

制备了一种新型的蓝光发射材料δ-Alq3,测试了其红外吸收光谱、X射线衍射谱、紫外-可见光吸收光谱、光致发光光谱和电致发光光谱,并通过与δ-Alq3的光谱性能的比较,研究了Alq3分子空间结构与光谱性能之间的关系.结果表明:δ-Alq3分子空间结构经过真空加热发生变化,生成对称性较差的δ-Alq3;分子空间结构的改变引起Alq3分子中酚环电子云密度的降低和相邻分子间的共轭效应的减弱,导致在紫外-可见吸收光谱中δ-Alq3长波段的π-π*电子跃迁吸收峰向短波方向的移动,在光致发光光谱中δ-Alq3的最大发射峰波长为480 nm,比α-Alq3的最大发射峰波长(515 nm)蓝移35 nm,在电致发光光谱中α-Alq3和δ-Alq3的最大发射峰波长都为520 nm.

Preparation and Spectral Analysis of a New Type of Blue Light-Emitting Material δ-Alq3

In the present article, delta-Alq3, a new type of blue light-emitting material, was synthesized and investigated by IR spectra, XRD spectra, UV-Vis absorption spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and electroluminescence (EL) spectra. The relationship between molecular spatial structure and spectral characteristics was studied by the spectral analysis of delta-Alq3 and alpha-Alq3. Results show that a new phase of Alq3 (delta-Alq3) can be obtained by vacuum heating alpha-Alq3, and the molecular spatial structure of alpha-Alq3 changes during the vacuum heating. The molecular spatial structure of delta-Alq3 lacks symmetry compared to alpha-Alq3. This transformation can reduce the electron cloud density on phenoxide of Alq3 and weaken the intermolecular conjugated interaction between adjacent Alq3 molecules. Hence, the pi--pi* electron transition absorption peak of delta-Alq3 shifts toward short wavelength in UV-Vis absorption spectra, and the maximum emission peak of delta-Alq3 (lamda max = 480 nm) blue-shifts by 35 nm compared with that of alpha-Alq3 (lamda max = 515 nm) in PL spectra. The maximum emission peaks of delta-Alq3 and alpha-Alq3 are all at 520 nm in EL spectra.
