We report the substitution of λ 5 -phosphinines (2,6-dicarbonitrile diphenyl-1-λ 5 -phosphinine) with an amino group. The impact of these modifications on both the optical and redox properties is investigated using a joint experimental/theoretical approach. In particular, we show that the choice of the donor diphenylamino group dramatically impacts the nature of the charge transfer. The use of di(methoxyphenyl)amine redshifts the optical properties and allows thermally activated delayed fluorescence in the solid state. Finally, we demonstrated that λ 5 -phosphinines with an amino group can be used as active emitters in an electroluminescent device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
