Triphenylamino or 9-phenyl carbazolyl-substituted pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles as bipolar emitters and hosts with triplet harvesting abilities

To obtain highly efficient organic semiconductors exhibiting fast emission decays, triplet-harvesting abilities and good bipolar charge-transporting properties for optoelectronic applications, compounds containing triphenylamine or 9-phenylcarbazole as donor moieties and pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile as electron-withdrawing unit were synthesised. Toluene solutions of the compounds demonstrated high photoluminescence quantum yields reaching 98%. As required for electroluminescent device applications, compound containing triphenylamino moiety showed high mobilities of both electrons and holes, which reached 4.4 × 10^?4 cm²/V × s and 7.3 × 10^?3 cm²/V × s, respectively at electric field of 3.6 × 10⁵ V/cm. This triplet-harvesting mechanism was confirmed by the theoretical and experimental studies including a femtosecond transient absorption pump?probe technique and time-resolved electroluminescence spectroscopy. Pure-blue and greenish-blue fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with external quantum efficiency (EQE) reaching 7% and 6%, corresposndingly, were obtained using the newly synthesised compounds as emitters. The operation time (T50) of ca. 650 h were observed for blue OLED and of ca. 3800 h for greenish-blue OLED until reaching the half initial brightness (100 cd/m²). EQE of more than 20% and T50 exceeding 20,000 h were observed for electroluminescent devices based on emitter characterised by triplet?triplet annihilation and thermally activated delayed fluorescence which was utilised to test hosting properties of the differently donor-substituted pyrimidine-5-carbonitriles.     

基于可拉伸有机晶体管的高性能生理信号传感器

近来,以共轭聚合物为沟道材料的有机电化学晶体管(OECT)因其易于制备、具有离子–电子转换能力和生物界面相容性而成为研究热点。然而,已报道的用于OECT沟道材料的大多是p型共轭聚合物,而基于n型共轭聚合物开发的OECT则很少,而不平衡的发展阻碍了复杂互补电路的实现。最近被报道的新兴n型共轭聚合物半导体Poly (benzimidazobenzophenanthroline)(BBL) OECT为解决上述问题提供了一个有效的方案。但BBL薄膜本身具有脆性无法拉伸,无法满足柔性器件的使用需求,大大阻碍了其应用及发展。本工作中,我们提出了一种器件可拉伸的n型BBL OECT器件的制备方法,并验证了其在汗液传感方面的可行性。     

Hole polaron of small radius in assemblies of hydrated mono-protonated meso-tetraphenylporphine dimers at 77 K

Polaron theory is often used for the study of electrons and holes mobility in semiconductors when longitudinal optical (LO) phonons are generated upon the charge carriers moving. The polaron theory was applied to explain long-wavelength absorptions observed nearby Soret band in the electronic spectra of assemblies of mono-protonated meso-tetraphenylporphine dimer (TPP₂H⁺) that are interpreted as LO-phonons originated due to proton movement. The energy of hole polaron is found to be 1.50 eV at 77 K. Energy of Franck–Condon transitions of LO-phonons generated by hole polaron moving through water confined in the assemblies with distortions of O–H bonds is 0.2653 eV (2138 cm⁻¹). A broad band around 2127 cm⁻¹ corresponding the same energy of O–H bonds vibrations is observed in IR spectra of the assemblies consisting of water and mainly of TPP₂H⁺ species in the solid state indicating the presence of similar distortions of the hydrogen bonds. The radius of protonic sphere of 0.202 Å, which was estimated as a polaron quasiparticle moving through the confined water at 77 K, is found in agreement with earlier evaluated one of 0.265 Å that was obtained for proton diffusion at 298 K in similar assemblies.     

Applying Petri nets to modeling the chemical stage of radiobiological mechanism

The chemical stage represents important part of radiological mechanism as double strand breaks of DNA molecules represent main damages leading to final biological effect. These breaks are formed mainly by water radicals arising in clusters formed by densely ionizing ends of primary or secondary charged particles in neighborhood of a DNA molecule. The given effect may be significantly influenced by other species present in water, which may depend on the size and diffusion of corresponding clusters. We have already proposed a model describing the corresponding process (i.e., the combined effect of cluster diffusion and chemical reactions) running in individual radical clusters and influencing the formation probability of main damages (i.e., DSBs). Now a full number of corresponding species will be considered. With the help of Continuous Petri nets it will then be possible to follow the time evolution of corresponding species in individual clusters, which might be important especially in the case of studying the biological effect of very low-LET radiation. The results in deoxygenated water will be presented; the ratio of final and initial contents of corresponding species being in good agreement with values established experimentally.     

Efficient blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes with host engineering

We demonstrate as much as possible blue color and high efficiency phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) by using well-known iridium(III)bis[(3,5-difluoro-4-cyanophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C′]picolinate (FCNIrpic) dopant and previously reported good host materials. For the control of blue color and efficiency, various host materials, 1,3-bis(carbazole-9-yl)benzene (mCP), 9-(3-(9H-carbazole-9-yl)phenyl)-3-(dibromophenylphosphoryl)-9H-carbazole (mCPPO1), and 2,8-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)dibenzo[b,d]furan (DFCz), bis(4-(N-carbazole)phenyl)dimethylsilane (2MCBP) are selected and investigated their performances. A maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 23.9% and power efficiency of 30.2 lm/W are achieved from 2MCBP device with Commision Internationale de L'Eclairage color coordinates (CIE_x,y) of (0.14, 0.21). The deepest color with color coordinate of (0.14, 0.19) is obtained for the mCP device.     

Spontaneous spin polarization in rubrene studied by density functional theory calculations

We theoretically studied the spontaneous spin polarization properties of organic molecule rubrene by using density functional theory calculations. Our investigations show that normally nonmagnetic molecule rubrene could be spin polarized by spinless-hole injection. Magnetic moment of the molecule increases linearly with the extra hole charge amount only when the injected hole charges reach a certain value. The spin density resides predominantly on the carbon atoms in the tetracene backbone of rubrene molecule and also the bond lengths change differently due to the injected charge. Spontaneous spin polarization can be explained as the preferably filling of the spin-splitted carbon p_z orbitals near the Fermi energy for the injected charge.
