Two novel boron (B), sulfur (S), nitrogen (N)-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon multiple resonance emitters (DBNS and DBNS-tBu) are designed and synthesized for narrowband red emission by embedding two pairs of S and N atoms and two B atoms in para-positions of central benzene rings within a tridecacyclic aromatic skeleton to form donor-π-donor (D-π-D) and acceptor-π-acceptor (A-π-A) structures, which not only exhibit emission maximum at 641 nm with small full width at half maximum of 39 nm, but also combine high photoluminescent quantum efficiency (85%) and rapid reverse intersystem crossing (k RISC = 2.2 × 10 5 s −1), giving rise to red electroluminescence with color coordinates of (0.65, 0.34) and maximum external quantum efficiency of 7.8% via solution process.
Fluorescent polymers are suffering from low electroluminescence efficiency because triplet excitons formed by electrical excitation are wasted through nonradiative pathway. Here we demonstrate the design of hyperfluorescent polymers by employing...
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.
