Synthesis and Characterization of Triphenylethylene Derivatives with Aggregation-Induced Emission Characteristics

New aggregation-induced emission (AIE) compounds derived from triphenylethylene were synthesized. The thermal, photophysical, electrochemical and aggregation-induced emissive properties were investigated. All the compounds had strong blue light emission capability and good thermal stability. Their maximum fluorescence emission wavelengths were between 443 to 461 nm in solid states, while their glass transition temperatures ranged from 86 to 129 °C. The decomposition temperatures of the synthesized compounds were in the range of 432–534 °C. The synthesized compounds possessed aggregation-induced emission properties, namely exhibited enhanced fluorescence emission in aggregated states. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels estimated from the oxidation potentials were between 5.61 and 5.66 eV and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital/highest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO/HOMO) energy gap values were found to be in the range of 3.18–3.22 eV. The compounds 4-(4-(2,2-bis(4-(naphthalen-1-yl)phenyl)vinyl)phenyl) dibenzothiophene [(BN)₂Bt] and 4-(4-(2,2-di(biphenyl-4-yl)vinyl)phenyl) dibenzothiophene [(BB)₂Bt] exhibited vibronic fine-structure photoluminescence spectra when the water fraction was less than 70%.     

Synthesis, Fluorescence Properties and Theoretical Calculations of Novel Stilbene Derivatives Based on 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Bearing Anthracene Core

Two novel stilbene derivatives bearing anthracene core based on 1,3,4-oxadiazole were efficiently synthesized and characterized by ¹H-NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The optical properties of the title compounds were investigated by UV–vis absorption and fluorescence emission spectra in different solvents. Chemical calculations were performed by density functional theory (DFT) at the (B3LYP)/6-31G* level. The results show the two compounds exhibit strong green fluorescence emission ranged from 489–493 nm, and the fluorescence quantum yield ranged from 0.78–0.92. Their HOMO and LUMO levels are (?5.44 eV, ?2.25 eV) and (?5.45 eV, ?2.28 eV), respectively. The influence of the solvent on the fluorescence intensities was also discussed.

We find the structure of the molecule to be planar with an energy gap of 3.06 eV. The emission lifetime from the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of this material is found to be 24 ns, which is in good agreement with experimental results.

合成了两个蓝光材料2-苯基-1H-[9,10-d]菲并咪唑(Phen-PI)和2-吡啶-1H-[9,10-d]菲并咪唑(PyriPI),光物理分析表明Phen-PI和Pyri-PI的最大发射峰分别位于371.5 nm,388.5 nm和403.5 nm,相对量子效率分别为0.383和0.528,激发态衰减寿命分别为3.87 ns和3.68 ns。通过密度泛函理论(DFT)对化合物的前线分子轨道成分和能级分布分析表明,当把Phen-PI中的苯基被吡啶环取代后,Pyri-PI的HOMO能级和LUMO能级分别下降0.09 e V和0.23 e V,同时Pyri-PI的HOMO轨道和LUMO轨道的能级差比Phen-PI减少0.14 e V,在理论层面上解释了Pyri-PI发射光谱的红移。     

Studies of Luminescence Performance on Carbazole Donor and Quinoline Acceptor Based Conjugated Polymer

We report on the synthesis of conjugated polymer (CV-QP) containing carbazole (donor) and quinoline (acceptor) using Wittig methodology. The structural, optical and thermal properties of the polymer were investigated by FT-IR, NMR, GPC, UV, PL, cyclic voltammetry, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The polymer exhibits thermal stability upto 200 °C and shows good solubility in common organic solvents. The polymer has optical absorption band in a thin film at 360 nm and emission band formed at 473 nm. The optical energy band gap was found to be 2.69 eV as calculated from the onset absorption edge. Fluorescence quenching of the polymer CV-QP was found by using DMA (electron donor) and DMTP (electron acceptor). AFM image indicated that triangular shaped particles were observed and the particle size was found as 1.1 μm. The electrochemical studies of CV-QP reveal that, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of the CV-QP are 6.35 and 3.70 eV, which indicated that the polymers are expected to provide charge transporting properties for the development of polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs).     

Effect of bromine substituent on optical properties of aryl compounds

Substituents significantly affect optical properties of organic compounds. In this study, a series of organic compounds were synthesized. Ultraviolet‐visible and cyclic voltammetry spectra were determined. The relationships between the number of π electron in an aryl ring and the redshift (and molecular orbital energy levels) were studied. To investigate mechanisms of the bromine substituent effects, theoretical calculations were carried out. Ultraviolet‐visible spectra of bromine‐containing compounds exhibit obvious redshifts (0.04‐0.17 eV) of the maximal absorption wavelengths and enhanced absorbance (11%‐57%) compared with corresponding reference compounds. The lowest unoccupied and highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels of compounds containing bromine substituents are 0.05 to 0.60 and 0.02 to 0.40 eV lower than that of corresponding reference compounds. On the whole, the redshifts and the reduced molecular orbital energy levels caused by bromine substituent decrease with the increase in the number of π electron in an aryl ring. The effects would be attributed to strong p‐π conjugation between p electron in the bromine substituent and π electrons in aryl rings. Therefore, this paper suggests a useful way for tuning optical absorption and molecular orbital energy levels of aryl compounds.     

Synthesis,Photophysical, Electrochemical and Thermal Investigation of Anthracene Doped 2-Naphthol Luminophors and their Thin Films for Optoelectronic Devices

A series of novel luminophors of 2-naphthol by doping anthracene were prepared using conventional solid state reaction technique. The photophysical, electrochemical and thermal properties were studied by Fluorescence spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, TGA-DSC and by Cyclic Voltammetry techniques. The thin films were characterized by Fluorescence spectroscopy. XRD study of fine grained powders exhibited sharp peaks which specify crystallinity and homogeneity of the doped luminophors. The fluorescence spectra of doped 2-naphthol exhibited emission of anthracene at 413 nm i.e. blue emission with instantaneous fluorescence quenching of 2-NP due to excitation energy transfer (EET). Electrochemical data specify that the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the synthesized luminophors are in the range of 5.55–5.71 eV and 3.03–3.24 eV, respectively. TGA-DSC study confirmed thermal stability of prepared luminophors. Hence, overall study proposes that these luminophors seems applicable to be used as n-type materials for Optoelectronic devices.

DFT and ab initio study on non-linear optical (NLO) properties of some organic complexes with different conjugate linker and substituent groups

A series of Schiff-bases chromophores containing imine or double C=C bond linkers between the donor and acceptor have been studied by first-principles calculations. The molecular structures, electronic properties and second order nonlinearities were investigated by DFT and ab initio methods. The optimized structural parameters of these Schiff-base derivates showed that these compounds are stable. The results of TD-DFT calculations indicate that the derivatives with the heterocyclic and imine linker have a red shift absorption compared to derivatives with the double C=C or N=N bonds. The analysis of the frontier molecular orbitals indicates that the CN group and the heterocycle linked by the CN or imine group has contribution to the LUMO orbital while the groups N(CH₃)₂ and the benzene ring linked by the double C=C or N=N bond have contribution to the HOMO orbital. The CN and the heterocyclic acceptors enable the derivatives to have a larger first static hyperpolarizability. However, the compounds 3-{4-[(4-Dimethylamino-phenylimino)-methyl]-pyridin-1-yl}-propanel-1-sulfonoperoxoic acid and 3-{4-[(4-Dimethylamino-phenylimino)-methyl]-quinolin-1-yl}propanel-1-sulfonoperoxoic acid with a substituent also have large first static hyperpolarizabilities due to the overwhelming contributions of electron density of the group to the HOMO orbital, that is, the HOMO orbital were constituted by the SO ₃ ^? group only. In order to understand the influence of the energy gap (??E) between the HOMO and the LUMO orbitals on the first static hyperpolarizability, we calculated the energy gap (??E) of all Schiff-base compounds. The results show that the smaller the HOMO-LUMO energy gap the larger the first static hyperpolarizability. The present study demonstrated that these compounds which have pure C=N double bond and heterocyclic substitution groups may have potential applications in the development of NLO materials.
