Control of Singlet Emission Energy in a Diphenyloxadiazole Containing Fluorophore Leading To Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence.

ABSTRACT: 2-(4-(9,9-Dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole has an energy difference between the lowest excited singlet and triplet states (?E ST) of ca. 0.24 eV. Introduction of two electronegative fluorine atoms onto the acceptor portion of the molecule to give 2-(4-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)-3,5-difluorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole lowers the energy of the singlet emission with a negligible effect on the corresponding triplet energy, leading to a donor-acceptor compound with decreased ?E ST of ca. 0.13 eV that displays thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Organic light-emitting diodes fabricated using the latter compound display high EQEmax of 21.9% at a luminance of 10 cd/m2 and sky-blue emission, however, they suffer from a large efficiency roll-off at increased luminance.

Persistent Dimer Emission in Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Materials.

Project description:We expose significant changes in the emission color of carbazole-based thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters that arise from the presence of persistent dimer states in thin films and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Direct photoexcitation of this dimer state in 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene (4CzIPN) reveals the significant influence of dimer species on the color purity of its photoluminescence and electroluminescence. The dimer species is sensitive to the sample preparation method, and its enduring presence contributes to the widely reported concentration-mediated red shift in the photoluminescence and electroluminescence of evaporated thin films. This discovery has implications on the usability of these, and similar, molecules for OLEDs and explains disparate electroluminescence spectra presented in the literature for these compounds. The dimerization-controlled changes observed in the TADF process and photoluminescence efficiency mean that careful consideration of dimer states is imperative in the design of future TADF emitters and the interpretation of previously reported studies of carbazole-based TADF materials.

Pyrazine-Based Blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Materials: Combine Small Singlet-Triplet Splitting With Large Fluorescence Rate.

Project description:Metal-free thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters have emerged as promising candidate materials for highly efficient and low-cost organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Here, a novel acceptor 2-cyanopyrazine is selected for the construction of blue TADF molecules via computer-assisted molecular design. Both theoretical prediction and experimental photophysical data indicate a small S1-T1 energy gap (ΔE ST) and a relative large fluorescence rate (k F) in an o-phenylene-bridged 2-cyanopyrazine/3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole compound (TCzPZCN). The k F value of 3.7 × 107 s-1 observed in a TCzPZCN doped film is among the highest in the TADF emitters with a ΔE ST smaller than 0.1 eV. Blue TADF emission is observed in a TCzPZCN doped film with a short TADF lifetime of 1.9 μs. The OLEDs using TCzPZCN as emitter exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.6% with low-efficiency roll-off. A sky-blue device containing a derivative of TCzPZCN achieves an improved EQE maximum of 12.2% by suppressing the non-radiative decay at T1.

A three-dimensional ratiometric sensing strategy on unimolecular fluorescence-thermally activated delayed fluorescence dual emission.

Project description:Visualized sensing through fluorescence signals is a powerful method for chemical and physical detection. However, the utilization of fluorescent molecular probes still suffers from lack of precise signal self-calibration in practical use. Here we show that fluorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence can be simultaneously produced at the single-molecular level. The thermally activated delayed fluorescence serves as a sensing signal with its wavelength and lifetime both altered correlating to polarity, whereas the fluorescence always remains unchanged as an internal reference. Upon the establishment of a three-dimensional working curve upon the ratiometric wavelength and photoluminescence lifetime vs. polarity, disturbance factors during a relevant sensing process can be largely minimized by such a multiple self-calibration. This strategy was further applied into a precise detection of the microenvironmental polarity variation in complex phospholipid systems, towards providing new insights for convenient and accurate diagnosis of membrane lesions.

Phenoxazine-Dibenzothiophene Sulfoximine Emitters Featuring Both Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence and Aggregation Induced Emission.

Project description:In this work, we demonstrate dibenzothiophene sulfoximine derivatives as building blocks for constructing emitters featuring both thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, with multiple advantages including high chemical and thermal stability, facile functionalization, as well as tunable electron-accepting ability. A series of phenoxazine-dibenzothiophene sulfoximine structured TADF emitters were successfully synthesized and their photophysical and electroluminescent properties were evaluated. The electroluminescence devices based on these emitters displayed diverse emissions from yellow to orange and reached external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of 5.8% with 16.7% efficiency roll-off at a high brightness of 1000 cd·m-2.

Benzoate-based thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials.

Project description:Compounds PTZ-MBZ (methyl 3-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)benzoate) and DMAC-MBZ (methyl 3-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)benzoate) were conveniently synthesized, and they exhibited TADF properties with lifetimes of 0.80 and 2.17 μs, respectively. The spatially separated highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital resulted in a very small singlet-triplet energy gap of 0.0152 eV and 0.0640 eV, respectively. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials with short lifetime could be used as promising luminescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes.

Method for accurate experimental determination of singlet and triplet exciton diffusion between thermally activated delayed fluorescence molecules.

Project description:Understanding triplet exciton diffusion between organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules is a challenge due to the unique cycling between singlet and triplet states in these molecules. Although prompt emission quenching allows the singlet exciton diffusion properties to be determined, analogous analysis of the delayed emission quenching does not yield accurate estimations of the triplet diffusion length (because the diffusion of singlet excitons regenerated after reverse-intersystem crossing needs to be accounted for). Herein, we demonstrate how singlet and triplet diffusion lengths can be accurately determined from accessible experimental data, namely the integral prompt and delayed fluorescence. In the benchmark materials 4CzIPN and 4TCzBN, we show that the singlet diffusion lengths are (9.1 ± 0.2) and (12.8 ± 0.3) nm, whereas the triplet diffusion lengths are negligible, and certainly less than 1.0 and 1.2 nm, respectively. Theory confirms that the lack of overlap between the shielded lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) hinders triplet motion between TADF chromophores in such molecular architectures. Although this cause for the suppression of triplet motion does not occur in molecular architectures that rely on electron resonance effects (e.g. DiKTa), we find that triplet diffusion is still negligible when such molecules are dispersed in a matrix material at a concentration sufficiently low to suppress aggregation. The novel and accurate method of understanding triplet diffusion in TADF molecules will allow accurate physical modeling of OLED emitter layers (especially those based on TADF donors and fluorescent acceptors).

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Coinage Metal Cluster Scintillator.

Project description:X-ray scintillators are widely used in medical imaging, industrial flaw detection, security inspection, and space exploration. However, traditional commercial scintillators are usually associated with a high use cost because of their substantial toxicity and easy deliquescence. In this work, an atomically precise Au-Cu cluster scintillator (1) with a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) property was facilely synthesized, which is environmentally friendly and highly stable to water and oxygen. The TADF property of 1 endows it with an ultrahigh exciton utilization rate. Combined with the effective absorption of X-ray caused by the heavy-atom effect and a limited nonradiative transition caused by close packing in the crystal state, 1 exhibits an excellent radioluminescence property. Moreover, 1 has good processability for fabricating a large, flexible thin-film device (10 cm × 10 cm) for high-resolution X-ray imaging, which can reach 40 μm (12.5 LP mm-1). The properties mentioned earlier make the coinage metal cluster promising for use as a substitute for traditional commercial scintillators.

High-performance blue OLED using multiresonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence host materials containing silicon atoms.

Project description:We report three highly efficient multiresonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence blue-emitter host materials that include 5,9-dioxa-13b-boranaphtho[3,2,1-de]anthracene (DOBNA) and tetraphenylsilyl groups. The host materials doped with the conventional N7,N7,N13,N13,5,9,11,15-octaphenyl-5,9,11,15-tetrahydro-5,9,11,15-tetraaza-19b,20b-diboradinaphtho[3,2,1-de:1',2',3'-jk]pentacene-7,13-diamine (ν-DABNA) blue emitter exhibit a high photoluminescence quantum yield greater than 0.82, a high horizontal orientation greater than 88%, and a short photoluminescence decay time of 0.96-1.93 μs. Among devices fabricated using six synthesized compounds, the device with (4-(2,12-di-tert-butyl-5,9-dioxa-13b-boranaphtho[3,2,1-de]anthracen-7-yl)phenyl)triphenylsilane (TDBA-Si) shows high external quantum efficiency values of 36.2/35.0/31.3% at maximum luminance/500 cd m-2/1,000 cd m-2. This high performance is attributed to fast energy transfer from the host to the dopant. Other factors possibly contributing to the high performance are a T1 excited-state contribution, inhibition of aggregation by the bulky tetraphenylsilyl groups, high horizontal orientation, and high thermal stability. We achieve a high efficiency greater than 30% and a small roll-off value of 4.9% at 1,000 cd m-2 using the TDBA-Si host material.

Efficient Adversarial Generation of Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Molecules.

Project description:Adversarial generative models are becoming an essential tool in molecular design and discovery due to their efficiency in exploring the desired chemical space with the assistance of deep learning. In this article, we introduce an integrated framework by combining the modules of algorithmic synthesis, deep prediction, adversarial generation, and fine screening for the purpose of effective design of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules that can be used in the organic light-emitting diode devices. The retrosynthetic rules are employed to algorithmically synthesize the D-A complex based on the empirically defined donor and acceptor moieties, which is followed by the high-throughput labeling and prediction with the deep neural network. The new D-A molecules are subsequently generated via the adversarial autoencoder, with the excited-state property distributions perfectly matching those of the original samples. Fine screening of the generated molecules, including the spin-orbital coupling calculation and the excited-state optimization, is eventually implemented to select the qualified TADF candidates within the novel chemical space. Further investigation shows that the created structures fully mimic the original D-A samples by maintaining a significant charge transfer characteristic, a minimal adiabatic singlet-triplet gap, and a moderate spin-orbital coupling that are desirable for the delayed fluorescence.

Halogenated Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Materials for Efficient Scintillation.

Project description:Organic scintillators, materials with the ability to exhibit luminescence when exposed to X-rays, have aroused increasing interest in recent years. However, the enhancement of radioluminescence and improving X-ray absorption of organic scintillators lie in the inherent dilemma, due to the waste of triplet excitons and weak X-ray absorption during scintillation. Here, we employ halogenated thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials to improve the triplet exciton utilization and X-ray absorption simultaneously, generating efficient scintillation with a low detection limit, which is one order of magnitude lower than the dosage for X-ray medical diagnostics. Through experimental study and theoretical calculation, we reveal the positive role of X-ray absorption, quantum yields of prompt fluorescence, and intersystem crossing in promoting the radioluminescence intensity. This finding offers an opportunity to design diverse types of organic scintillators and expands the applications of thermally activated delayed fluorescence.
