Core-dependent properties of copper nanoclusters: valence-pure nanoclusters as NIR TADF emitters and mixed-valence ones as semiconductors.

ABSTRACT: We report herein that copper alkynyl nanoclusters show metal-core dependent properties via a charge-transfer mechanism, which enables new understanding of their structure-property relationship. Initially, nanoclusters 1 and 2 bearing respective Cu(i)15 (C1) and Cu(i)28 (C2) cores were prepared and revealed to display near-infrared (NIR) photoluminescence mainly from the mixed alkynyl → Cu(i) ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) and cluster-centered transition, and they further exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Subsequently, a vanadate-induced oxidative approach to in situ generate a nucleating Cu(ii) cation led to assembly of 3 and 4 featuring respective [Cu(ii)O6]@Cu(i)47 (C3) and {[Cu(ii)O4]·[VO4]2}@Cu(i)46 (C4) cores. While interstitial occupancy of Cu(ii) triggers inter-valence charge-transfer (IVCT) from Cu(i) to Cu(ii) to quench the photoluminescence of 3 and 4, such a process facilitates charge mobility to render them semiconductive. Overall, metal-core modification results in an interplay between charge-transfer processes to switch TADF to semiconductivity, which underpins an unusual structure-property correlation for designed synthesis of metal nanoclusters with unique properties and functions.

What Controls the Orientation of TADF Emitters?

Project description:Thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters-just like phosphorescent ones-can in principle allow for 100% internal quantum efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), because the initially formed electron-hole pairs in the non-emissive triplet state can be efficiently converted into emissive singlets by reverse intersystem crossing. However, as compared to phosphorescent emitter complexes with their bulky-often close to spherical-molecular structures, TADF emitters offer the advantage to align them such that their optical transition dipole moments (TDMs) lie preferentially in the film plane. In this report, we address the question which factors control the orientation of TADF emitters. Specifically, we discuss how guest-host interactions may be used to influence this parameter and propose an interplay of different factors being responsible. We infer that emitter orientation is mainly governed by the molecular shape of the TADF molecule itself and by the physical properties of the host-foremost, its glass transition temperature Tg and its tendency for alignment being expressed, e.g., as birefringence or the formation of a giant surface potential of the host. Electrostatic dipole-dipole interactions between host and emitter are not found to play an important role.

Virtual Screening of TADF Emitters for Single-Layer OLEDs.

Project description:Thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is a concept which helps to harvest triplet excitations, boosting the efficiency of an organic light-emitting diode. TADF can be observed in molecules with spatially separated donor and acceptor groups with a reduced triplet-singlet energy level splitting. TADF materials with balanced electron and hole transport are attractive for realizing efficient single-layer organic light emitting diodes, greatly simplifying their manufacturing and improving their stability. Our goal here is to computationally screen such materials and provide a comprehensive database of compounds with a range of emission wavelengths, ionization energies, and electron affinities.

Molecular Design Strategies for Color Tuning of Blue TADF Emitters.

Project description:New thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) blue emitter molecules based on the known donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D)-type TADF molecule, 2,7-bis(9,9-dimethylacridin-10-yl)-9,9-dimethylthioxanthene-S,S-dioxide (DDMA-TXO2), are reported. The motivation for the present investigation is via the use of rational molecular design, based on DDMA-TXO2, to elevate the organic light emitting diode (OLED) performance and obtain deeper blue color coordinates. To achieve this goal, the strength of the donor (D) unit and acceptor (A) units have been tuned with methyl substituents. The methyl functionality on the acceptor was also expected to modulate the D-A torsion angle in order to obtain a blue shift in the electroluminescence. The effect of regioisomeric structures has also been investigated. Herein, we report the photophysical, electrochemical, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography data to assist with the successful OLED design. The methyl substituents on the DDMA-TXO2 framework have profound effects on the photophysics and color coordinates of the emitters. The weak electron-donating methyl groups alter the redox properties of the D and A units and consequently affect the singlet and triplet levels but not the energy gap (ΔEST). By systematically manipulating all of the aforementioned factors, devices have been obtained with acceptor-substituted III with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 22.6% and Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage coordinates of (0.15, 0.18) at 1000 cd m-2.

Valence self-regulation of sulfur in nanoclusters.

Project description:The valence self-regulation of sulfur from the "-2" valence state in thiols to the "-1" valence state in hydroxylated thiolates has been accomplished using the Pt1Ag28 nanocluster as a platform-the first time that the "-1" valent sulfur has been detected as S-1. Two previously unknown nanoclusters, Pt1Ag28(SR)20 and Pt1Ag28(SR)18(HO-SR)2 (where SR represents 2-adamantanethiol), have been synthesized and characterized-in the latter nanocluster, the presence of hydroxyl induces the valence regulation of two special S atoms from "-2" (in SR) to "-1" valence state in the HO-S(Ag)R. Because of the contrasting nature of the capping ligands in these two nanoclusters [i.e., only SR in Pt1Ag28(SR)20 or both SR- and HO-SR- in Pt1Ag28(SR)18(HO-SR)2], they exhibit differing shell architectures, even though their cores (Pt1Ag12) are in the same icosahedral configuration. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis revealed their 1:1 cocrystallization, and mass spectrometry verified the presence of hydroxyls on Pt1Ag28(SR)18(HO-SR)2.

Intramolecular Dimerization Quenching of Delayed Emission in Asymmetric D-D'-A TADF Emitters.

Project description:Understanding the excited-state dynamics and conformational relaxation in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules, including conformations that potentially support intramolecular through-space charge transfer, can open new avenues for TADF molecular design as well as elucidate complex photophysical pathways in structurally complex molecules. Emissive molecules comprising a donor (triphenylamine, TPA) and an acceptor (triphenyltriazine, TRZ) bridged by a second donor (9,9-dimethyl-9-10-dihydroacridin, DMAC, or phenoxazine, PXZ) are synthesized and characterized. In solution, the flexibility of the sp3-hybridized carbon atom in DMAC of DMAC-TPA-TRZ, compared to the rigid PXZ, allows significant conformational reorganization, giving rise to multiple charge-transfer excited states. As a result of such a reorganization, the TRZ and TPA moieties become cofacially aligned, driven by a strong dipole-dipole attraction between the TPA and TRZ units, forming a weakly charge-transfer dimer state, in stark contrast to the case of PXZ-TPA-TRZ where the rigid PXZ bridge only supports a single PXZ-TRZ charge transfer (CT) state. The low-energy TPA-TRZ dimer is found to have a high-energy dimer local triplet state, which quenches delayed emission because the resultant singlet CT local triplet energy gap is too large to mediate efficient reverse intersystem crossing. However, organic light-emitting diodes using PXZ-TPA-TRZ as an emitting dopant resulted in external quantum efficiency as high as 22%, more than two times higher than that of DMAC-TPA-TRZ-based device, showing the impact that such intramolecular reorganization and donor-acceptor dimerization have on TADF performance.

Impact of Boron Acceptors on the TADF Properties of Ortho-Donor-Appended Triarylboron Emitters.

Project description:We report the impact of boron acceptors on the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties of ortho-donor-appended triarylboron compounds. Different boryl acceptor moieties, such as 9-boraanthryl (1), 10H-phenoxaboryl (2), and dimesitylboryl (BMes2, 3) groups have been introduced into an ortho donor (D)-acceptor (A) backbone structure containing a 9,9-diphenylacridine (DPAC) donor. X-ray crystal diffraction and NMR spectroscopy evidence the presence of steric congestion around the boron atom along with a highly twisted D-A structure. A short contact of 2.906 Å between the N and B atoms, which is indicative of an N ? B nonbonding electronic interaction, is observed in the crystal structure of 2. All compounds are highly emissive (PLQYs = 90-99%) and display strong TADF properties in both solution and solid state. The fluorescence bands of cyclic boryl-containing 1 and 2 are substantially blue-shifted compared to that of BMes2-containing 3. In particular, the PL emission bandwidths of 1 and 2 are narrower than that of 3. High-efficiency TADF-OLEDs are realized using 1-3 as emitters. Among them, the devices based on the cyclic boryl emitters exhibit pure blue electroluminescence (EL) and narrower EL bands than the device with 3. Furthermore, the device fabricated with emitter 1 achieves a high external quantum efficiency of 25.8%.

Zn(II) Schiff Bases: Bright TADF Emitters for Self-referenced Decay Time-Based Optical Temperature Sensing.

Project description:Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is a highly temperature-dependent process and can be used in optical thermometry. TADF-based optical thermometers reported so far show fairly high-temperature sensitivity but have poor brightness and significant oxygen cross-talk. A new class of TADF emitters, Zn(II) Schiff base complexes, possess excellent brightness and high temperature sensitivity of the decay time at ambient temperature (4.1%/K change of TADF lifetime at 25 °C), enabling a resolution better than 0.03 °C. Oxygen cross-sensitivity is eliminated by covering the sensing layer (luminophore in polystyrene) with an off-stoichiometry thiol-ene polymer as an oxygen-consuming layer, and a poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile) layer as an oxygen barrier. The material is stable after more than 2 months of storage at ambient air, which enables long-term temperature monitoring.

Molecular design to regulate the photophysical properties of multifunctional TADF emitters towards high-performance TADF-based OLEDs with EQEs up to 22.4% and small efficiency roll-offs.

Project description:Simultaneously achieving high efficiency and low efficiency roll-off remains a big challenge for OLEDs based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters. To address this issue, we elaborately designed and synthesized a series of new emitters with both TADF and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties by introducing 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (DMAC) or 10H-phenoxazine (PXZ) as donor units into a quinoxaline framework. By tuning the electron-donating capability of the donor as well as the amount of donor unit, the photophysical properties of the TADF-AIE emitters can be systematically regulated, with emissions ranging from green to red. We demonstrated efficient doped OLEDs with a maximum EQE of 22.4%, a maximum current efficiency (CEmax) of 80.3 cd A-1 and a maximum power efficiency (PEmax) of 64.1 lm W-1 for the green device, and an EQEmax of 14.1%, a CEmax of 36.1 cd A-1 and a PEmax of 28.1 lm W-1 for the orange device. Remarkably, these orange devices rendered small roll-offs of 1.4% and 21.3% respectively at a luminance of 100 and 1000 cd m-2. Attributed to the unique TADF and AIE features, the non-doped devices perform outstandingly with an EQEmax of 12.0%, a CEmax of 41.2 cd A-1 and a PEmax of 45.4 lm W-1.
