Abstract
We have developed two novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters, IQLO-PXZ and IQLO-DMAC, featuring an intramolecularly locked indeno[1,2-b]quinolin-11-one (IQLO) acceptor. Our comprehensive investigation, including structural analysis, theoretical calculations, and photophysical studies, aims to assess the viability of IQLO-PXZ and IQLO-DMAC as light emitters in electroluminescent devices. Unlike existing aryl ketone-based emitters, IQLO-PXZ and IQLO-DMAC exhibit red-shifted emission due to their structurally rigid and electron-deficient IQLO moiety. The stronger intramolecular charge transfer effect in IQLO-PXZ results in longer-wavelength emission compared to IQLO-DMAC. Both emitters demonstrate significant TADF properties, facilitating efficient triplet-to-singlet spin conversion. When utilized as the emissive core in electroluminescent devices, IQLO-PXZ and IQLO-DMAC achieved long-wavelength electroluminescence peaking at 612 nm and 578 nm, with commendable external quantum efficiencies of 10.3 % and 11.7 %, respectively. These findings underscore the potential of IQLO as an effective acceptor for constructing high-performance TADF electroluminescent materials.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
