Modulation of Physical Properties of Ter(9,9-ditolylfluorene) by Backbone-Embedded Heteroarenes

Abstract: [structure: see text] Novel ter(9,9-ditolylfluorene) analogues containing thiophene and pyridine rings embedded as functional constituents within the parent hydrocarbon backbone have been synthesized. These new molecules exhibit highly efficient photoluminescence and high thermal and morphological stability. The electronic structure of the terfluorene backbone is significantly perturbed, which allows modulation of the backbone energy levels.

“…[10] Various terfluorenyl derivatives have hence been investigated over the last ten years not only for blue OLEDs [11][12][13][14] but also for lightemitting OFETs (LE-OFETs). [15] As the molecular structure of the active layer is of key importance in LE-OFET and OLED devices, different molecular designs of the terfluorenyl backbone have thus been developed, including the incorporation of heterocycles, [16][17][18] hydroxyaminophenyl side chains, [19] cyclopropane, [20] and spiro bridges. [10-12, 15, 16, 21, 22] The introduction of a spiro bridge into small molecules is indeed an efficient strategy to reduce the crystallization tendency of the materials, enhancing their solubility, thermal stability, and quantum yield.…”

“…The higher-lying HOMO energy levels of these fluorene-incorporated benzo[c]heterocycles ($5.2 eV) greatly reduce the energy barrier for hole injection from ITO (u = 4.8 eV) to emissive Alq 3 (u = 4.8 eV), hence, these heterocycles should be explored as hole-transporting materials for double-layer OLEDs. n-C 6 H 13 n-C 6 H 13 Se 8a R 1 = H, R 2 = H (59%) 8b R 1 = n-C 6 H 13, R 2 = H (62%) 8c R 1 = H, R 2 = n-C 6 …”

“…Both the non‐doped and doped OLEDs employing TBPSF exhibited good device performance at that time. Some other terfluorene analogues TF1∼3 (Scheme ) embedded with heteroarene in the conjugated backbone were also synthesized to modulate the optical properties of T3 . The absorption and emission of TF‐1 and TF‐3 were found to be bathochromically shifted as compared to those of parent T3 due to the quinoidal character of thiophene introduced as the conjugated constituent.…”
