The Effect of Acceptor Structure on Emission Color Tuning in Organic Semiconductors with D-?-A-?-D Structures.

ABSTRACT: A series of novel donor-acceptor D-?-A-?-D compounds were synthesized and characterized in order to determine the influence of different acceptor units on their properties. The introduction of acceptor moieties had a direct impact on the HOMO and LUMO energy levels. Fluorescence spectra of compounds can be changed by the choice of an appropriate acceptor and were shifted from the green to the near-infrared part of spectra. Due to observed concentration induced emission quenching, the green exciplex type host was used to evaluate the potential of synthesized molecules as emitters in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Enhancing electron affinity and tuning band gap in donor-acceptor organic semiconductors by benzothiadiazole directed C-H borylation.

Project description:Electrophilic borylation using BCl3 and benzothiadiazole to direct the C-H functionalisation of an adjacent aromatic unit produces fused boracyclic materials with minimally changed HOMO energy levels but significantly reduced LUMO energy levels. In situ alkylation and arylation at boron using Al(alkyl)3 or Zn(aryl)2 is facile and affords boracycles that possess excellent stability towards protic solvents, including water, and display large bathochromic shifts leading to far red/NIR emission in the solid state with quantum yields of up to 34%. Solution fabricated OLEDs with far red/NIR electroluminescence are reported with EQEs > 0.4%.

Emission and Color Tuning of Cyanostilbenes and White Light Emission.

Project description:White-light-emitting diodes are energy efficiency replacement of conventional lighting sources. Herein, we report the luminescent behavior of three simple cyanostilbenes with triphenylamine-donating groups bearing different electron-withdrawing groups (phenyl, pyridyl, and p-nitrophenyl) in a common donor (D)-π-acceptor (A) α-cyanostilbene construct along with their thermal and electrochemical properties. The density functional theory (DFT) studies reveal that aggregation-induced emission characteristic feature of the D-π-A dyes is inversely proportional to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, that is, phenyl-and pyridyl-substituted compounds show characteristic aggregation-induced emission in water, whereas the ICT effect is dominant for the nitro derivative. The extent of ICT and the solvatochromic emission shifts, from blue to red, depend on the strength of the electron-withdrawing group. White luminescence and tunable emission colors are obtained by careful admixtures of these cyanostilbenes bearing triphenylamines. The results rationalized through DFT and time-dependent DFT calculations follow a consistent trend with the energy levels measured from the electrochemical and optical studies. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry studies showed excellent thermal stability of the compounds. The scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements were performed to reveal the formation of aggregates. This strategy involving synthetically simple and structurally similar molecules with different emission properties has potential applications in the fabrication of multicolor and white-light-emitting materials.

Efficient light emission from inorganic and organic semiconductor hybrid structures by energy-level tuning.

Project description:The fundamental limits of inorganic semiconductors for light emitting applications, such as holographic displays, biomedical imaging and ultrafast data processing and communication, might be overcome by hybridization with their organic counterparts, which feature enhanced frequency response and colour range. Innovative hybrid inorganic/organic structures exploit efficient electrical injection and high excitation density of inorganic semiconductors and subsequent energy transfer to the organic semiconductor, provided that the radiative emission yield is high. An inherent obstacle to that end is the unfavourable energy level offset at hybrid inorganic/organic structures, which rather facilitates charge transfer that quenches light emission. Here, we introduce a technologically relevant method to optimize the hybrid structure's energy levels, here comprising ZnO and a tailored ladder-type oligophenylene. The ZnO work function is substantially lowered with an organometallic donor monolayer, aligning the frontier levels of the inorganic and organic semiconductors. This increases the hybrid structure's radiative emission yield sevenfold, validating the relevance of our approach.

Thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole and Benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole Donor-Acceptor Semiconductors for Organic Field-Effect Transistors.

Project description:Two p-type donor-acceptor (D-A) semiconducting small molecules were synthesized to investigate the effect of the backbone curvature on the organic field-effect transistor performance. The backbone curvature of the donor-acceptor small molecules was modified by changing the spacer group from bithiophene to thienothiophene. Bithiophene to thienothiophene spacer groups were placed between 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole (donor) and benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (acceptor) to generate TP-BT4T-TP and TP-BT2TT-TP donor-acceptor molecules. A good charge carrier mobility of 2.59 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 was measured for the curved molecule (TP-BT4T-TP), while the linear molecule analog (TP-BT2TT-TP) only gave a low mobility of 5.41 × 10-5 cm2 V-1 s-1 after annealing at 120 °C in bottom-contact bottom-gate devices. Out-of-plane grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction analysis revealed more drastic thermally induced crystallinity for TP-BT4T-TP as compared to TP-BT2TT-TP, explaining the difference observed in the performance of devices fabricated from each molecule.

Color tuning of nanofibers by periodic organic-organic hetero-epitaxy.

Project description:We report on the epitaxial growth of periodic para-hexaphenyl (p-6P)/?-sexi-thiophene (6T) multilayer heterostructures on top of p-6P nanotemplates. By the chosen approach, 6T molecules are forced to align parallel to the p-6P template molecules, which yields highly polarized photoluminescence (PL)-emission of both species. The PL spectra show that the fabricated multilayer structures provide optical emission from two different 6T phases, interfacial 6T molecules, and 3-dimensional crystallites. By a periodical deposition of 6T monolayers and p-6P spacers it is demonstrated that the strongly polarized spectral contribution of interfacial 6T can be precisely controlled and amplified. By analyzing the PL emission of both 6T phases as a function of p-6P spacer thickness (?d(p-6P)) we have determined a critical value of ?d(p-6P )? 2.73 nm where interfacial 6T runs into saturation and the surplus of 6T starts to cluster in 3-dimensional crystallites. These results are further substantiated by UPS and XRD measurements. Moreover, it is demonstrated by morphological investigations, provided by scanning force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy, that periodical deposition of 6T and p-6P leads to a significant improvement of homogeneity in PL-emission and morphology of nanofibers. Photoluminescence excitation experiments in combination with time-resolved photoluminescence demonstrate that the spectral emission of the organic multilayer nanofibers is dominated by a resonant energy transfer from p-6P host- to 6T guest-molecules. The sensitization time of the 6T emission in the 6T/p-6P multilayer structures depends on the p-6P spacer thickness, and can be explained by well separated layers of host-guest molecules obtained by organic-organic heteroepitaxy. The spectral emission and consequently the fluorescent color of the nanofibers can be efficiently tuned from the blue via white to the yellow-green spectral range.

Controlling doping efficiency in organic semiconductors by tuning short-range overscreening.

Project description:Conductivity doping has emerged as an indispensable method to overcome the inherently low conductivity of amorphous organic semiconductors, which presents a great challenge in organic electronics applications. While tuning ionization potential and electron affinity of dopant and matrix is a common approach to control the doping efficiency, many other effects also play an important role. Here, we show that the quadrupole moment of the dopant anion in conjunction with the mutual near-field host-dopant orientation have a crucial impact on the conductivity. In particular, a large positive quadrupole moment of a dopant leads to an overscreening in host-dopant integer charge transfer complexes. Exploitation of this effect may enhance the conductivity by several orders of magnitude. This finding paves the way to a computer-aided systematic and efficient design of highly conducting amorphous small molecule doped organic semiconductors.

Dual Emission in a Ligand and Metal Co-Doped Lanthanide-Organic Framework: Color Tuning and Temperature Dependent Luminescence.

Project description:In this study, we report the luminescence color tuning in the lanthanide metal-organic framework (LnMOF) ([La(bpdc)Cl(DMF)] (1); bpdc2- = [1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-dicarboxylate, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) by introducing dual emission properties in a La3+ MOF scaffold through doping with the blue fluorescent 2,2'-diamino-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-dicarboxylate (dabpdc2-) and the red emissive Eu3+. With a careful adjustment of the relative doping levels of the lanthanide ions and bridging ligands, the color of the luminescence was modulated, while at the same time the photophysical characteristics of the two chromophores were retained. In addition, the photophysical properties of the parent MOF (1) and its doped counterparts with various dabpdc2-/bpdc2- and Eu3+/La3+ ratios and the photoinduced energy transfer pathways that are possible within these materials are discussed. Finally, the temperature dependence study on the emission profile of a doped analogue containing 10% dabpdc2- and 2.5% Eu3+ (7) is presented, highlighting the potential of this family of materials to behave as temperature sensors.

Interface Structure of MoO3 on Organic Semiconductors.

Project description:We have systematically studied interface structure formed by vapor-phase deposition of typical transition metal oxide MoO3 on organic semiconductors. Eight organic hole transport materials have been used in this study. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are used to measure the evolution of the physical, chemical and electronic structure of the interfaces at various stages of MoO3 deposition on these organic semiconductor surfaces. For the interface physical structure, it is found that MoO3 diffuses into the underlying organic layer, exhibiting a trend of increasing diffusion with decreasing molecular molar mass. For the interface chemical structure, new carbon and molybdenum core-level states are observed, as a result of interfacial electron transfer from organic semiconductor to MoO3. For the interface electronic structure, energy level alignment is observed in agreement with the universal energy level alignment rule of molecules on metal oxides, despite deposition order inversion.

Organic solid fluorophores regulated by subtle structure modification: color-tunable and aggregation-induced emission.

Project description:Organic solid fluorophores with a tunable emission color have been widely applied in multiple areas. However, rational design and efficient crafting of these fluorophores from a simple core skeleton is still a formidable challenge because of the undesirable concentration quenching emission effect. Herein, we present the development of two series of organic solid fluorophores based on a backbone of p-bis(2,2-dicyanovinyl)benzene. Notably, the introduction of either non-aromatic or aromatic substituents provides fluorophores with a tunable emission color. Moreover, the fluorophores with aromatic substituents exhibit additional unique optical phenomena, such as aggregation-induced emission, polymorphism-dependent emission, and reversible mechanochromic luminescence.

Molecular doped, color-tunable, high-mobility, emissive, organic semiconductors for light-emitting transistors.

Project description:Developing high-mobility emissive organic semiconductors with tunable colors is crucial for organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), a pivotal component of integrated optoelectronic devices, but remains a great challenge. Here, we demonstrate a series of color-tunable, high-mobility, emissive, organic semiconductors via molecular doping with a high-mobility organic semiconductor, 2,6-diphenylanthracene, as the host. The well-matched molecular structures and sizes with efficient energy transfer between the host and guest enable the intrinsically high charge transport with tunable colors. High mobility with the highest value >2 cm2 V-1 s-1 and strong emission with photoluminescence quantum yield >15.8% are obtained for these molecular-doped organic semiconductors. Last, a large color gamut for constructed OLETs is up to 59% National Television System Committee standard, meanwhile with an extremely high current density approaching 326.4 kA cm-2, showing great potential for full-color smart display, organic electrically pumped lasers and other related logic circuitries.
