Abstract
The unique molecular structure of fused-biscoumarins endows them with intriguing photophysical properties, making some of them excellent fluorophores. However, their poor solubility limits their application in the solution-processable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this work, to improve the solubility of the fused-biscoumarins for the solution-processable OLEDs, two new V-shaped fused-biscoumarins containing tert-butyl group modified imidazole/carbazole groups, VBC-IM and VBC-BuCz, were successfully synthesized and characterized. Both compounds exhibit intense green emission in dichloromethane solution and good thermal stability. In the absence of the hole-transporting layers, the doped devices using the solution-processed emitting layers of CBP:VBC-IM or VBC-BuCz emit green emission with the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 1.63 % and 1.82 %, and the maximum luminance (Lmax) of 2059 cd/m2 and 2796 cd/m2, respectively.
