Single-component films of different generations of dendrimers bearing a diphenylanthracene core

Different generations of carboxyl-terminated poly(aryl ether) dendrimers bearing a diphenylanthracene core were designed and synthesized. It is interesting to see that not only two-generation dendrimers but also one-generation dendrimers can be fabricated into thin films by self-deposition. Fluorescence spectra indicate that increasing the generation number of a dendrimer can effectively control the quenching of the fluorescence. Moreover, the fluorescence property of the diphenylanthracene core of the dendrimers in a solid film is quite similar to that of one in a solution, which is important for designing light-emitting materials.     

Luminescent dendrimers as ligands for metal ions

Recent progress in thermally activated delayed fluorescence dendrimers for solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes

During the past decade, the discovery of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials has significantly boosted the development of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology. Compared with small-molecule and polymeric TADF materials, TADF dendrimers have emerged as promising emitters for solution-processed OLEDs because they have the integrated advantages of TADF small molecules and polymers in achieving high efficiency, excellent solution processability, and precise molecular structures. In recent years, TADF dendrimers have experienced important advances in molecular design, mechanism exploration and device performance. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of solution-processable TADF dendrimers, mainly focusing on their molecular design principles and structure–property correlations. The advanced device performances of these dendrimers are also summarized. Finally, we proposed the prospects and challenges on the development of TADF dendrimers.     

Rational Design of Star-shaped Molecules with Benzene Core and Naphthalimide Derivatives End Groups as Organic Light-emitting Materials

A series of star-shaped molecules with benzene core and naphthalimides derivatives end groups have been designed to explore their optical,electronic,and charge transport properties as charge transport and/or luminescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs). The frontier molecular orbitals(FMOs) analysis has turned out that the vertical electronic transitions of absorption and emission are characterized as intramolecular charge transfer(ICT). The calculated results show that the optical and electronic properties of star-shaped molecules are affected by the substituent groups in N-position of 1,8-naphthalimide ring. Our results suggest that star-shaped molecules with n-butyl(1),benzene(2),thiophene(3),thiophene S?,S?-dioxide(4),benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole(5),and 2,7a-dihydrobenzo[d]thiazole(6) fragments are expected to be promising candidates for luminescent and electron transport materials for OLEDs. This study should be helpful in further theoretical investigations on such kind of systems and also to the experimental study for charge transport and/or luminescent materials for OLEDs.     

Ion-selective controlled assembly of dendrimer-based functional nanofibers and their ionic-competitive disassembly

The construction of hierarchical materials through controlled self-assembly of molecular building blocks (e.g., dendrimers) represents a unique opportunity to generate functional nanodevices in a convenient way. Transition-metal compounds are known to be able to interact with cationic dendrimers to generate diverse supramolecular structures, such as nanofibers, with interesting collective properties. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation (MD) demonstrates that acetate ions from dissociated Cd(CH(3)COO)(2) selectively generate cationic PPI-dendrimer functional fibers through hydrophobic modification of the dendrimer's surface. The hydrophobic aggregation of dendrimers is triggered by the asymmetric nature of the acetate anions (AcO(-)) rather than by the precise transition metal (Cd). The assembling directionality is also controlled by the concentration of AcO(-) ions in solution. Atomic force (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) prove these results. This well-defined directional assembly of cationic dendrimers is absent for different cadmium derivatives (i.e., CdCl(2), CdSO(4)) with symmetric anions. Moreover, since the formation of these nanofibers is controlled exclusively by selected anions, fiber disassembly can be consequently triggered via simple ionic competition by NaCl salt. Ions are here reported as a simple and cost-effective tool to drive and control actively the assembly and the disassembly of such functional nanomaterials based on dendrimers.     

Influence of the dendron chemical structure on the photophysical properties of bisfluorene-cored dendrimers

A detailed study of the photophysics of a family of bisfluorene-cored dendrimers is reported. Polarized time-resolved fluorescence, singlet-singlet exciton annihilation and fluorescence quantum yield measurements were performed and used to understand how the dendron structure affects the light-emitting properties of the materials. The exciton diffusion rate is similar in all films studied. An increase in the nonradiative deactivation rate by nearly one order of magnitude is observed in films of dendrimers with stilbenyl and carbazolyl based dendrons as compared to solutions, whereas the dendrimers with biphenyl and diphenylethylenyl dendrons showed highly efficient emission (photoluminescence quantum yields of 90%) in both solution and the solid state. The results of the materials that show fluorescence quenching can be explained by the presence of quenching sites at a concentration of just a fraction of a percent of all macromolecules. A possible explanation of this quenching is hole transfer from the emissive chromophore to the dendron in a face-to-face geometry. These results are important for the design of efficient blue emitters for optoelectronic applications.

Progress in small-molecule luminescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes

Organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) have been extensively studied since the first efficient device based on small molecular luminescent materials was reported by Tang. Organic electroluminescent material, one of the centerpieces of OLEDs, has been the focus of studies by many material scientists. To obtain high luminosity and to keep material costs low, a few remarkable design concepts have been developed. Aggregation-induced emission(AIE) materials were invented to overcome the common fluorescence-quenching problem, and cross-dipole stacking of fluorescent molecules was shown to be an effective method to get high solid-state luminescence. To exceed the limit of internal quantum efficiency of conventional fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials were successfully applied in highly efficient electroluminescent devices. Most recently, delayed fluorescent materials via reverse-intersystem crossing(RISC) from triplet to singlet and the "hot exciton" materials based on hybridized local and charge-transfer(HLCT) states were developed to be a new generation of low-cost luminescent materials as efficient as phosphorescent materials. In terms of the device-fabrication process, solution-processible small molecular luminescent materials possess the advantages of high purity(vs. polymers) and low procession cost(vs. vacuum deposition), which are garnering them increasing attention. Herein, we review the progress of the development of small-molecule luminescent materials with different design concepts and features, and also briefly examine future development tendencies of luminescent materials.
