Modulation of Excited State Property Based on Benzo[a, c]phenazine Acceptor: Three Typical Excited States and Electroluminescence Performance.

ABSTRACT: Throwing light upon the structure-property relationship of the excited state properties for next-generation fluorescent materials is crucial for the organic light emitting diode (OLED) field. Herein, we designed and synthesized three donor-acceptor (D-A) structure compounds based on a strong spin orbit coupling (SOC) acceptor benzo[a, c]phenazine (DPPZ) to research on the three typical types of excited states, namely, the locally-excited (LE) dominated excited state (CZP-DPPZ), the hybridized local and charge-transfer (HLCT) state (TPA-DPPZ), and the charge-transfer (CT) dominated state with TADF characteristics (PXZ-DPPZ). A theoretical combined experimental research was adopted for the excited state properties and their regulation methods of the three compounds. Benefiting from the HLCT character, TPA-DPPZ achieves the best non-doped device performance with maximum brightness of 61,951 cd m^-2 and maximum external quantum efficiency of 3.42%, with both high photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 40.2% and high exciton utilization of 42.8%. Additionally, for the doped OLED, PXZ-DPPZ can achieve a max EQE of 9.35%, due to a suppressed triplet quenching and an enhanced SOC.

Project description:A series of three perylenemonoimide-p-oligophenylene-dimethylaniline molecular dyads undergo photoinduced charge separation (CS) with anomalous distance dependence as a function of increasing donor-acceptor (DA) distances. A comprehensive experimental and computational investigation of the photodynamics in the donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) chromophores reveals a clear demarcation concerning the nature of the CS accessed at shorter (bridgeless) and longer DA distances. At the shortest distance, a strong DA interaction and ground-state charge delocalization populate a hot excited state (ES) with prominent charge transfer (CT) character, via Franck-Condon vertical excitation. The presence of such a CT-polarized hot ES enables a subpicosecond CS in the bridgeless dyad. The incorporation of the p-oligophenylene bridge effectively decouples the donor and the acceptor units in the ground state and consequentially suppresses the CT polarization in the hot ES. Theoretically, this should render a slower CS at longer distances. However, the transient absorption measurement reveals a fast CS process at the longer distance, contrary to the anticipated exponential distance dependence of the CS rates. A closer look into the excited-state dynamics suggests that the hot ES undergoes ultrafast geometry relaxation (τ < 1 ps) to create a relaxed ES. As compared to a decoupled, twisted geometry in the hot ES, the geometry of the relaxed ES exhibits a more planar conformation of the p-oligophenylene bridges. Planarization of the bridge endorses an increased charge delocalization and a prominent CT character in the relaxed ES and forms the origin for the evident fast CS at the longest distance. Thus, the relaxation of the hot ES and the concomitantly enhanced charge delocalization adds a new caveat to the classic nature of distance-dependent CS in artificial DBA chromophores and recommends a cautious treatment of the attenuation factor (β) while discussing anomalous CS trends.
