In this study, we synthesized and characterized a series of spirobifluorene‐based bipolar compounds (D2 ACN, DNPACN, DNTACN, and DCzACN) in which a dicyano‐substituted biphenyl branch, linked orthogonally to a donor biphenyl branch bearing various diarylamines, acted as an acceptor unit allowing fine‐tuning of the morphological stability, triplet energy, bipolar transport behavior, and the HOMO and LUMO energy levels. The promising physical properties of these new compounds, together with their ability to transport electrons and holes with balanced mobilities, made them suitable for use as host materials in highly efficient phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (PhOLEDs) with green iridium‐based‐ or red osmium‐based phosphors as the emitting layer (EML). We adopted a multilayer structure to efficiently confine holes and electrons within the EML, thus preventing exciton diffusion and improving device efficiency. The device incorporating D2 ACN doped with the red emitter [Os(bpftz)2(PPhMe2)2] (bpftz=3‐(trifluoromethyl)‐5‐(4‐tert‐butylpyridyl)‐1,2,4‐triazolate) gave a saturated red electrophosphorescence with CIE coordinates of (0.65, 0.35) and remarkably high efficiencies of 20.3 % (21 cd A?1) and 13.5 Lm W?1 at a practical brightness of 1000 cd m?2. 相似文献

A series of four heterocyclic dimers has been synthesized, with twisted geometries imposed across the central linking bond by ortho-alkoxy chains. These include two isomeric bicarbazoles, a bis(dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide) and a bis(thioxanthene-S,S-dioxide). Spectroscopic and electrochemical methods, supported by density functional theory, have given detailed insights into how para- vs. meta- vs. broken conjugation, and electron-rich vs. electron-poor heterocycles impact the HOMO–LUMO gap and singlet and triplet energies. Crucially for applications as OLED hosts, the triplet energy (ET) of these molecules was found to vary significantly between dilute polymer films and neat films, related to conformational demands of the molecules in the solid state. One of the bicarbazole species shows a variation in ET of 0.24 eV in the different media—sufficiently large to “make-or-break” an OLED device—with similar discrepancies found between neat films and frozen solution measurements of other previously reported OLED hosts. From consolidated optical and optoelectronic investigations of different host/dopant combinations, we identify that only the lower ET values measured in neat films give a reliable indicator of host/guest compatibility. This work also provides new molecular design rules for obtaining very high ET materials and controlling their HOMO and LUMO energies. 相似文献

Phthalocyanine (Pc) molecules are well‐known flexible structural units for 1D nanotubes and 2D nanosheets. First‐principles calculations combined with grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are used to obtain the geometries, electronic structures, optical properties, and hydrogen‐storage capacities of nanocages consisting of six Pc molecules with six Mg or Ca atoms. The primitive Pc cage has Th symmetry with twofold degeneracy in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), and threefold degeneracy in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO); the corresponding HOMO–LUMO gap is found to be 0.97 eV. The MgPc and CaPc cages have Oh symmetry with a HOMO–LUMO gap of 1.24 and 1.13 eV, respectively. Optical absorption spectra suggest that the Pc‐based cages can absorb infrared light, which is different from the visible‐light absorption in Pc molecules. We further show that the excess uptake of hydrogen on MgPc and CaPc cages at 298 K and 100 bar (1 bar=0.1 MPa) is about 3.49 and 4.74 wt %, respectively. The present study provides new insight into Pc‐based nanostructures with potential applications. 相似文献

We report novel host polymers for a high‐efficiency polymer‐based solution‐processed phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diode with typical blue‐emitting dopant bis(4,6‐difluorophenylpyridinato‐N,C2)iridium(III) picolinate (FIrpic). The host polymers, soluble polynorbornenes with pendant carbazole derivatives, N‐phenyl‐9H‐carbazole ( P1 ), N‐biphenyl‐9H‐carbazole ( P2 ), and 9,9′‐(1,3‐phenylene)bis‐9H‐carbazole (mCP) ( P3 ) are efficiently synthesized by vinyl addition polymerization of norbornene monomers using Pd(II) catalyst in combination with 1‐octene chain transfer agent. The polymers exhibit high thermal stability with high decomposition (Td5 > 410 °C) and glass transition temperatures (Tg ≈ 268 °C). The HOMO (ca. ?5.5 to ?5.7 eV) and LUMO (ca. ?2.0 to ?2.1 eV) levels with the high triplet energy of about 2.7–3.0 eV suggest that the polymers are suitable for a host material for blue emitters. Among the solution‐processed devices that were fabricated based on the emissive layers containing the P1 ? P3 host doped with various concentrations of FIrpic (7–13 wt %), the best device with P3 host exhibits power efficiency of 3.0 lm W?1 and external quantum efficiency of 4.0% at a luminance of 1000 cd m?2 that is outstanding among the polymeric rivals. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This work reports a detailed structure–property relationship study of a series of efficient host materials based on the donor–spiro–acceptor (D‐spiro‐A) design for green and sky‐blue phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). The electronic and physical effects of the indoloacridine (IA) fragment connected through a spiro bridge to different acceptor units, namely, fluorene, dioxothioxanthene or diazafluorene moiety, have been investigated in depth. The resulting host materials have been easily synthesised through short, efficient, low‐cost, and highly adaptable synthetic routes by using common intermediates. The dyes possess a very high triplet energy (ET) and tuneable HOMO/LUMO levels, depending on the strength of the donor/acceptor combination. The peculiar electrochemical and optical properties of the IA moiety have been investigated though a fine comparison with their phenylacridine counterparts to study the influence of planarisation. Finally, these molecules have been incorporated as hosts in green and sky‐blue PhOLEDs. For the derivative SIA‐TXO2 as a host, external quantum efficiencies as high as 23 and 14 % have been obtained for green and sky‐blue PhOLEDs, respectively. 相似文献

Bipolar heteroleptic green light‐emitting iridium (Ir) dendrimers G(OXD) and G(DOXD) have been designed and synthesized under mild conditions in high yields, in which the first C^N and second O^O ligands are functionalized with oligocarbazole‐ and oxadiazole‐based dendrons, respectively. To avoid affecting the optical properties of the emissive iridium core, all the functional moieties are attached to the ligands through a flexible spacer. Compared with the unipolar dendrimer G(acac ), dendrimers G(OXD) and G(DOXD) exhibit the close emission maxima of 511–512 nm and photoluminescence quantum yield of 0.39–0.40 in a solution of toluene. Moreover, on going from G(acac) to G(OXD) and G(DOXD) , we have found that the introduction of oxadiazole fragments decreases the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels to facilitate the electron injection and electron transporting, while their highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels remain unchanged. This means that, we can individually tune the HOMO and LUMO energy levels based on the heteroleptic structure to ensure the relative independence between the hole and electron in the emitting layer (EML), which is a favorable feature for bipolar optoelectronic materials. As a result, a bilayer nondoped electrophosphorescent device with G(DOXD) as the EML gives a maximum luminous efficiency of 25.5 cd A−1 (ηext: 7.4 %) and a brightness of 33 880 cd m−2. In comparison to G(acac) (17.2 cd A−1, 17 680 cd m−2), both the efficiency and brightness are improved by about 1.5 and 2 times, respectively. These state‐of‐the‐art performances indicate the potential of these bipolar heteroleptic iridium dendrimers as solution‐processible emitting materials for nondoped device applications. 相似文献

We report the results of a DFT study of the electronic properties, intended as highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies, of periodic models of H‐passivated armchair graphene nanoribbons (a‐GNRs) as that synthetized by bottom‐up technique, functionalized by vicinal dialdehydic groups. This material can be obtained by border oxidation in mild and easy to control conditions with 1Δg O2 as we reported in our previous paper (Ghigo et al., ChemPhysChem 2015, 16, 3030). The calculations show that the two models of border oxidized a‐GNRs (model A, 0.98 nm and model B, 1.35 nm wide) present LUMO and HOMO energies lowered by an extend roughly linearly dependent on the amount of oxygen chemically bound. The frontier orbital energy variations dependence on the % wt of oxygen bound are, for model A: ?0.12 eV for the LUMO and ?0.05 eV for the HOMO; for model B: ?0.15 eV (HOMO) and ?0.06 eV (LUMO). © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Electron‐donating molecules play an important role in the development of organic solar cells. (Z )‐2‐(2‐Phenylhydrazinylidene)acenaphthen‐1(2H )‐one (PDAK), C18H12N2O, was synthesized by a Schiff base reaction. The crystal structure shows that the molecules are planar and are linked together forming `face‐to‐face' assemblies held together by intermolecular C—H…O, π–π and C—H…π interactions. PDAK exhibits a broadband UV–Vis absorption (200–648 nm) and a low HOMO–LUMO energy gap (1.91 eV; HOMO is the highest occupied molecular orbital and LUMO is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), while fluorescence quenching experiments provide evidence for electron transfer from the excited state of PDAK to C60. This suggests that the title molecule may be a suitable donor for use in organic solar cells. 相似文献

To achieve high efficiencies in blue phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (PhOLEDs), the triplet energies (T1) of host materials are generally supposed to be higher than the blue phosphors. A small organic molecule with low singlet energy (S1) of 2.80 eV and triplet energy of 2.71 eV can be used as the host material for the blue phosphor, [bis(4,6‐difluorophenylpyridinato‐N,C2′)iridium(III)] tetrakis(1‐pyrazolyl)borate (FIr6; T1=2.73 eV). In both the photo‐ and electro‐excited processes, the energy transfer from the host material to FIr6 was found to be efficient. In a three organic‐layer device, the maximum current efficiency of 37 cd A?1 and power efficiency of 40 Lm W?1 were achieved for the FIr6‐based blue PhOLEDs. 相似文献

A fused-ring electron acceptor IDT-2BR1 based on indacenodithiophene core with hexyl side-chains flanked by benzothiadiazole rhodanine was designed and synthesized.In comparison with its counterpart with hexylphenyl side-chains(IDT-2BR),IDT-2BR1exhibits higher highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)energy but similar lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO)energy(IDT-2BR1:HOMO=-5.37eV,LUMO=-3.67eV;IDT-2BR:HOMO=-5.52eV,LUMO=-3.69eV),red-shifted absorption and narrower bandgap.IDT-2BR1 has higher electron mobility(2.2×10~(-3)cm~2 V~(-1)s~(-1))than IDT-2BR(3.4×10~(-4)cm~2 V~(-1)s~(-1))due to the reduced steric hindrance and ordered molecular packing.Fullerene-free organic solar cells based on PTB7-Th:IDT-2BRl yield power conversion efficiencies up to 8.7%,higher than that of PTB7-Th:IDT-2BR(7.7%),with a high open circuit voltage of0.95 V and good device stability. 相似文献

Using a tailored high triplet energy hole transport layer (HTL) is a suitable way to improve the efficiency and extend the lifetime of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), which can use all molecular excitons of singlets and triplets. In this study, dibenzofuran (DBF)-end-capped and spirobifluorene (SBF) core-based HTLs referred as TDBFSBF1 and TDBFSBF2 were effectively developed. TDBFSBF1 exhibited a high glass transition temperature of 178 °C and triplet energy of 2.5 eV. Moreover, a high external quantum efficiency of 22.0 %, long operational lifetime at 50 % of the initial luminance of 89,000 h, and low driving voltage at 1000 cd m−2 of 2.95 V were achieved in green phosphorescent OLEDs using TDBFSBF1 . Further, a high-hole mobility μh value of 1.9×10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1 was recorded in TDBFSBF2 . A multiscale simulation successfully reproduced the experimental μh values and indicated that the reorganization energy was the primary factor in determining the mobility differences among these SBF core based HTLs. 相似文献

A new aromatic host polymer poly{[1,4‐bis(9‐decylcarbazole‐3‐yl)‐2,3,5,6‐tetrafluorobenzene‐3,3′‐diyl]‐alt‐[N‐methylisatin‐2‐one‐3,3‐diyl]} (PICzFB) containing carbazole–tetrafluorinebeneze–carbazole moiety in the π‐conjugated interrupted polymer backbone was synthesized by superacid‐catalyzed metal‐free polyhydroxyalkylation. The resulted copolymer PICzFB showed a comparatively wide band gap up to 3.32 eV and high triplet energy (ET) of 2.73 eV due to confined conjugation by the δ? C bond interrupted polymer backbone. Blue and green light‐emitting devices with PICzFB as host, FIrpic and Ir(mppy)3 as phosphorescent dopants showed the maximum luminous efficiencies of 5.0 and 27.6 cd/A, respectively. The results suggested that the strategy of incorporating bipolar unit into the π‐conjugated interrupted polymer backbone can be a promising approach to obtain host polymer with high triplet level for solution‐processed blue and green phosphorescent polymer light‐emitting diodes. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel poly(p‐phenylenevinylene) PPV‐based copolymer (3C‐OXD‐PPV) with electron‐deficient oxadiazole segments as the side chain has been successfully synthesized through the Gilch polymerization. The obtained copolymer is soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform, tetrahydronfuran, and 1,1,2,2‐tetrachloroethane. The copolymer was characterized by 1H NMR, elemental analysis and GPC. TGA measurement of the copolymer shows it has good thermal stability with decomposition temperature higher than 350 °C. The absorption, electrochemical properties of the 3C‐OXD‐PPV were investigated and also compared with the properties of MEH‐PPV. The HOMO and LUMO levels of 3C‐OXD‐PPV were estimated from the electrochemical cyclic voltammograms. Bulk‐heterojunction PVCs were fabricated by using 3C‐OXD‐PPV blended PCBM as an active layer. The PCE of the PVC is 1.60% under 100 mW cm?2 AM 1.5 illumination, which indicates that 3C‐OXD‐PPV is a potential candidate for the application of polymer PVC. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Herein an efficient bottom‐up solution‐phase synthesis of N=9 armchair graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) is described. Catalyzed by Pd(PtBu3)2, Suzuki–Miyaura polymerization of a simple and readily available triaryl monomer provides a novel GNR precursor with a high molecular weight and excellent solubility. Upon cyclodehydrogenation, the resulting GNR exhibits semiconducting properties with an approximately 1.1 eV band gap (LUMO: ?3.52 eV; HOMO: ?4.66 eV) as characterized by UV/Vis‐NIR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. 相似文献

Two novel 1,3‐dithiole‐2‐ylidene derivatives with a push–pull structures, 3‐(4,5‐dicarbomethoxy‐1,3‐dithiol‐2‐ylidene)naphthopyranone 1 and 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthio‐1,3‐dithiol‐2‐ylidene)naphthopyranone 2 , have been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, IR, MS. The UV–vis spectra of 1 , 2 in CH2Cl2, the lowest‐energy absorption bands, are centered at 280, 316, and 430 nm for 1 and 284, 317, and 450 nm for 2 , respectively, which are caused by the HOMO → LUMO single electron promotion. Furthermore, the steady‐state fluorescence originating states of 1 , 2 from the excited charge‐transfer were observed. To estimate the position and energies of frontier orbitals for 1 , 2 , DFT calculations were performed using the Gaussian 03 program at the B3LYP/6‐31 G* level. The calculated vertical excitation energies are in good agreement with the experimental data. The high HOMO–LUMO gaps of 1 (3.08 eV) and 2 (3.00 eV) indicate high kinetic stability of the title compounds. 相似文献

The polycarbazoles have been proved to efficiently suppress the keto defect emission. Three carbazole‐based conjugated polymers, poly[9‐methyl‐3‐(4‐vinylstyryl)‐9H‐carbazole] (PBC), poly[9‐methyl‐3‐(2‐(5‐vinylthiophen‐2‐yl)vinyl)‐9H‐carbazole] (PBT) and poly[9‐methyl‐3‐(2‐(5‐vinylfuran‐2‐yl)vinyl)‐9H‐carbazole] (PBF), were investigated by quantum‐chemical techniques, and gain a detailed understanding of the influence of carbazole units and the introduction of electron‐donating on the electronic and optical properties. The electronic properties of the neutral molecules, HOMO‐LUMO gaps (ΔE), in addition to ionization potential (Ip) and electron affinity (Ea), are studied using B3LYP density functional theory. The lowest excitation energies (Eg) and the absorption wavelength are studied using the time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The calculated results show that all three series of polymers have good planarity. And the highest‐occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energies lift about 0.36–0.61 eV and thus the IP decrease about 0.01–0.19 eV compared to polycarbazole, suggesting the significant improved hole‐accepting and transporting abilities. By introducing the electron‐donating 1,4‐divinylphenylene or 2,5‐divinylthiophene or 2,5‐divinylfuran units in the backbone, and the lowest‐unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies decrease 0.20–0.39 eV. In addition, PBC, PBT and PBF have longer maximal absorption wavelengths than polycarbazole. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 47: 706–714, 2009 相似文献

Most of efficient polymer electron acceptors for polymer solar cells (PSCs) are based on naphthalene diimide or perylene diimide as the electron deficient building block. In this paper, for the first time, we report polymer electron acceptors based on fluorinated isoindigo (F‐IID) as the electron deficient building block. We synthesized two polymer electron acceptors consisting of alternating F‐IID unit and thiophene/selenophen unit. They show low‐lying LUMO/HOMO energy levels of –3.69/–5.69 eV, high electron mobilities of 1.31×10–5 cm2·V–1·s–1 and broad absorption spectra with the optical bandgap of 1.61 eV. PSC devices using the two F‐IID‐based polymers as polymer electron acceptors show encouraging power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of up to 1.50% with an open‐circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.97 V, a short‐circuit current density (JSC) of 2.91 mA·cm–2, and a fill factor (FF) of 53.2%. This work suggests a new kind of polymer electron acceptors based on F‐IID unit. 相似文献

Perfluorophthalocyanines incorporating three‐valent metals, namely In(Cl), Ga(Cl), and Al(Cl), have been synthesized and characterized. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that these compounds exhibit outstanding thermal stability and a tendency to sublime at a temperature exceeding around 350 °C without thermal decomposition. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to probe the frontier orbital energy levels of these compounds in THF solution. All three compounds undergo three quasi‐reversible reductions with the first one leading to the formation of an anion radical, namely MPc?., as confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry. The compounds studied were intrinsically resistive to oxidation, which indicates that they are very good electron acceptors (n‐type materials). The HOMO–LUMO energy gaps (Eg) of the three compounds determined by UV/Vis spectroscopy were relatively unaffected by the three‐valent metals incorporated into the phthalocyanine macrocycle. Similarly, the energies of the HOMO (EHOMO) and LUMO (ELUMO) orbitals remained virtually unaffected by the three‐valent metals in the perfluorophthalocyanine. Importantly, all the perfluorophthalocyanines studied possess LUMO levels between ?4.76 and ?4.85 eV, which makes their reduced forms resistant to electron trapping by O2 and H2O. This property opens up the possibility for the fabrication of electronic devices operating under ambient conditions. All three compounds demonstrated very good photostability as solid thin films. 相似文献

A series of combinations of thiophene and vinyl/butadiene were investigated by ab initio and DFT methods to explore their electronic structures and charge transfer properties. The results show that increasing thiophene ring and vinyl number is a rational strategy to raise the HOMO energy levels and lower the LUMO energy levels. Moving the vinyl from the periphery to the core has the slight effect on the HOMO and LUMO energy levels. Furthermore, replacing the middle vinyl and end‐capped vinyl of 3b (T5V4) with the butadiene can lower LUMO energy levels and then facilitate the electron injection. Above all, the close hole and electron reorganization energies (λh and λe) are observed from these compounds. However, the λes are smaller than their respective λhs in some compounds, which is relatively rare in organic materials. Especially, the promising ambipolar material 3c (T5B4) is recommended theoretically for possessing the equivalent minimum λh (0.24 eV) and λe (0.24 eV). The absorption wavelengths exhibit red shifts with the increasing of the thiophene ring and the vinyl number under the same configuration, which correspond to the reverse order of ΔEH‐L and Eg. The linear relationships are found between experimental lowest singlet excited energies (Eexp) with theoretical values ΔEH‐L and Eg. 相似文献

Electronic structures of D4h square‐fused zinc porphyrin sheets of two types ( SA , SB ), where SA is a directly meso‐meso‐, β‐β‐, and β‐β‐linked array and SB is a directly β‐fused array, were compared using density functional theory (DFT). The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of oligomeric SA n are characteristically delocalized at the cyclooctatetraene‐like sites composed of β‐pyrrolic carbons and their nearest‐neighbor nitrogens. Those of oligomeric SB n remain solitary monomeric features, reflecting weakly interacting porphyrin units. These two‐dimensionally (2D) square‐fused sheets, especially for SA n, show effective reduction of both the HOMO–LUMO energy gaps (Eg) and the lowest Q‐like excitation energies because of LUMO's greater stabilization with increasing number of porphyrins than the corresponding one‐dimensionally (1D) linear‐fused tapes. To estimate the minimum value of Eg, the electronic band structures of the infinite‐fused SA ∞ and SB ∞ were examined in detail using modern periodic DFT. Results indicate a full metal for SA ∞, with HOMO and LUMO bands crossing the Fermi level, and a semiconductor with Eg ≈ 0.5 eV for SB ∞. Furthermore, the phonon modes and the electron–phonon coupling (EPC) constant of SA ∞ were calculated throughout the Brillouin zone using density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), yielding a weak EPC constant, λ = 0.35. Within the standard phonon‐mediated BCS mechanism, the superconducting transition temperature, Tc is demonstrated using the McMillan formula, predicting ≈0.5 K. Results show that SA ∞ will become a rare synthetic metal/superconductor without a metal‐insulator transition coming from Peierls lattice instability because it has no serious imaginary phonon modes. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
