,-Conjugated Dendrimers as Stable Pure-Blue Emissive Materials: Photophysical, Electrochemical, and Electroluminescent Properties

CHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 4 2009

Abstract Bigger, stronger, better: A family of giant ,-conjugated dendrimers has been developed as pure-blue active materials for organic light-emitting diodes. The dendrimer-generation number has little effect on the photophysical, electrochemical, and EL properties, and device efficiency of G0 and G1. The preliminary OLED devices achieve pure-blue color with stable CIE chromaticity coordinates (0.16, 0.08) for both G0 and G1. A family of giant ,-conjugated dendrimers has been developed as pure-blue active materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The investigation of their photophysical properties indicates that G0 and G1 exhibit almost the same absorption and PL spectra in dilute solutions and in thin films. The steric hindrance of the bulky dendrimers effectively prevents strong intermolecular interaction in the solid state, which effectively improves the emission spectral stability. Preliminary OLEDs fabricated with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/dendrimer/TPBI/Ba/Al achieve a pure-blue emission with stable CIE chromaticity coordinates (0.16, 0.08) for both G0 and G1. These results indicate that G0 and G1 are promising blue-light emitting materials with good stability. Such strategy provides us a platform to achieve pure-blue emitting dendrimer-like materials with high efficiency for use as OLEDs. [source]

Abstract A bipolar dibromo monomer, bis-(4-bromophenyl)[4-(3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4- triazole-4-yl)-phenyl]amine (9), containing electro-rich triphenylamine and electro-deficient 1,2,4-triazole moieties was newly synthesized and characterized. Two fluorescent fluorene-based conjugated copolymers (TPAF, TPABTF) were prepared via facile Suzuki coupling from the dibromo bipolar monomer, 4,7-dibromo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTDZ), and 9,9-dioctylfluorene. They were characterized by molecular weight determination, IR, NMR, DSC, TGA, solubility, absorption and photoluminescence spectra, and cyclic voltammetry. The polymers showed good solubility in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, and dichlorobenzene at room temperature. They had glass transition temperatures (Tg) higher than 135 °C and 5% degradation temperatures in nitrogen atmosphere were higher than 428 °C. Single layer polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/polymer/metal showed a blue emission at 444 nm and Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage (CIE) 1931 color coordinates of (0.16, 0.13) for TPAF. The device using TPABTF as emissive material showed electroluminescence at 542 nm with CIE1931 of (0.345, 0.625), low turn-on voltage of 5 V, a maximum electroluminance of 696 cd/m2, and a peak efficiency of 2.02 cd/A. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene- co -bithiophene) (F8T2)

Peter A. Levermore
Abstract A study of the optical properties of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene- co -bithiophene) (F8T2) is reported, identifying this polymer as one that possesses a desirable combination of charge transport and light emission properties. The optical and morphological properties of a series of polymer blends with F8T2 dispersed in poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) are described and almost pure-green emission from light emitting diodes (LEDs) based thereon is demonstrated. High luminance green electroluminescence from LEDs using only a thin film of F8T2 for emission is also reported. The latter demonstration for a polymer previously primarily of interest for effective charge transport constitutes an important step in the development of emissive materials for applications where a union of efficient light emission and effective charge transport is required.

Solution-Processible Red Iridium Dendrimers based on Oligocarbazole Host Dendrons: Synthesis, Properties, and their Applications in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes,

Abstract A series of novel red-emitting iridium dendrimers functionalized with oligocarbazole host dendrons up to the third generation (red-G3) have been synthesized by a convergent method, and their photophysical, electrochemical, and electroluminescent properties have been investigated. In addition to controlling the intermolecular interactions, oligocarbazole-based dendrons could also participate in the electrochemical and charge-transporting process. As a result, highly efficient electrophosphorescent devices can be fabricated by spin-coating from chlorobenzene solution in different device configurations. The maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) based on the non-doped device configuration increases monotonically with increasing dendron generation. An EQE as high as 6.3% was obtained as for the third generation dendrimer red-G3, which is about 30 times higher than that of the prototype red-G0. Further optimization of the device configuration gave an EQE of 11.8% (13.0,cd A,1, 7.2,lm W,1) at 100,cd m,2 with CIE coordinates of (0.65, 0.35). The state-of-the-art performance indicated the potential of these oligocarbazole-based red iridium dendrimers as solution processible emissive materials for organic light-emitting diode applications.

Multifunctional "Clickates" as Versatile Extended Heteroaromatic Building Blocks: Efficient Synthesis via Click Chemistry, Conformational Preferences, and Metal Coordination

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 35 2007

Abstract Click chemistry has been utilized to access 2,6-bis(1-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridines (BTPs) as versatile extended heteroaromatic building blocks for their exploitation in supramolecular chemistry, in particular foldamer and ligand design. In addition to their high-yielding synthesis using CuI -catalyzed Huisgen-type 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions the formed triazole moieties constitute an integral part of the BTP framework and encode both its pronounced conformational preferences as well as its chelating ability. A diverse set of symmetrical and non-symmetrical BTPs carrying electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents at both terminal aryl and the central pyridine moieties has efficiently been synthesized and could furthermore readily be postfunctionalized with amphiphilic side chains and porphyrin chromophores. In both solution and solid state, the BTP scaffold adopts a highly conserved horseshoe-like anti,anti conformation. Upon protonation or metal coordination, the BTP scaffold switches to the chelating syn,syn conformation. Iron and europium complexes have been prepared, successfully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and investigated with regard to their spin state and luminescent properties. The extended heteroaromatic BTP scaffold should prove useful for the design of responsive foldamer backbones and the preparation of new magnetic and emissive materials. [source]
