D–A–D′ AIEgens exhibit dual emission involving a blue TADF (monomer) and an orange TADF/RTP (dimer), which are switchable via aggregation-state engineering, and demonstrate high contrast MCL as well as white EL emission with high CRI.
Three novel tetraphenylethylene derivatives with different lengths of alkoxy chains, named TPEO1-PPI, TPEO4-PPI and TPEO6-PPI, are synthesized and fully characterized.
Multifunctional
luminescent materials with aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence
(AIDF) are capable of suppressing concentration-caused emission quenching
and exciton annihilation when used as organic light-emitting diode
(OLED) emitters. In this contribution, three stimuli-responsive AIDF
luminogens, pipd-BZ-PXZ, pipd-BZ-PTZ,
and pipd-BZ-DMAC, featuring a D–A asymmetric
framework based on a fused N-heterocycle diarylketone acceptor (imid-azo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl(phenyl)methanone pipd) are
designed and synthesized. Interestingly, pipd-BZ-PTZ
forms two different kinds of crystals (G-crystal and O-crystal) with
distinct intermolecular interactions between pipd moieties. The G-crystal with a looser packing mode presents significant
morphology-dependent stimuli-responsive behavior with a shifted emission
wavelength of 56 nm. Generated by a strong intramolecular charge transfer
effect, pipd-BZ-PXZ and pipd-BZ-PTZ
exhibit orange to red emission in solution and neat films. Both nondoped
and doped devices are fabricated for comparison. Nondoped devices
present moderate performance with external quantum efficiencies and
current efficiency that reach 7.04% and 19.86 cd A–1, respectively, and the corresponding efficiency roll off at 1000
cd m–2 is as small as 2.3%, which is among the best
records of AIDF-OLEDs with an emission wavelength over 570 nm. Doped
devices show better performance with corresponding efficiencies of
up to 55.41 cd A–1 and 15.77%.
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.
