Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Neutral and Cationic Copper(I) Complexes with the 2-(4-Thiazolyl)benzimidazole Ligand.

ABSTRACT: Cationic [Cu(P^P)(Htbz)]PF₆ [P^P = xantphos, dpephos; Htbz = 2-(4-thiazolyl)benzimidazole] and the corresponding neutral complexes [Cu(P^P)(tbz)], obtained through deprotonation of the diimine ligand, have been synthesized with the aim of analyzing the role of the diphosphane and Htbz deprotonation in the emissive properties of these complexes. For the study of the diphosphane effect, the luminescence properties of these compounds have been compared with those of the reported analogous derivatives with Htbz and carborane diphosphanes. Complexes [Cu(P^P)(Htbz)]PF₆ (P^P = xantphos, dpephos) and [Cu(dpephos)(tbz)] display thermally activated delayed fluorescence, which has been studied, revealing a ΔE(S₁-T₁) between 658 and 455 cm^-1. Theoretical calculations indicate different origins for the absorptions, leading to the observed emissions.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence and Phosphorescence Quenching in Iminophosphonamide Copper and Zinc Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis of copper and zinc complexes of four variably substituted iminophosphonamide ligands is presented. While the copper complexes form ligand-bridged dimers, the zinc compounds are monomeric. Due to different steric demand of the ligand the arrangement of the ligands within the dimeric complexes varies. Similar to the structurally related iminophosphonamide complexes of alkali metals and calcium, the steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) of four of the seven compounds studied here as solids in a temperature range of 5-295 K can be described within the scheme of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Accordingly, they exhibit bright blue-green phosphorescence at low temperatures (<100 K), which turns into delayed fluorescence by increasing the temperature. However, unusually, the fluorescence is practically absent in two copper complexes which otherwise still conform to the TADF scheme. In these cases, the excited singlet states decay essentially non-radiatively and their thermal population from the corresponding low-lying triplet states efficiently quenches PL (phosphorescence). Three other copper and zinc complexes only exhibit prompt fluorescence, evidencing a wide variation of photophysical properties in this class of compounds. The excited states of the copper complex with especially pronounced phosphorescence quenching were also investigated by low-temperature time-resolved infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations.

QM/MM studies on luminescence mechanism of dinuclear copper iodide complexes with thermally activated delayed fluorescence.

Project description:The QM/MM method is employed to investigate the photophysical mechanism of two dinuclear copper iodide complexes with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The S1-T1 energy differences (ΔE ST) in these two complexes are small enough so that repopulating the S1 state from T1 becomes energetically allowed. Both forward and reverse intersystem crossing (ISC and rISC) processes are much faster than the corresponding radiative fluorescence and phosphorescence processes [k ISC (108 s-1) > k F r (106 s-1), k rISC (105 s-1) > k P r (103 s-1)]. The faster rISC process than the phosphorescence emission enables TADF. Moreover, the diphosphine ligands are found to play an important role in regulating the electronic structures and thereto the radiative and nonradiative rate constants. The present work rationalizes experimental phenomena and helps understand the intrinsic luminescence properties. The obtained insights could be useful for tuning the luminescence performance of dicopper-based luminescence materials.

Solution-Processed OLEDs Based on Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Copper(I) Complexes with Intraligand Charge-Transfer Excited State.

Project description:A new series of tetrahedral heteroleptic copper(I) complexes exhibiting efficient thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in green to orange electromagnetic spectral regions has been developed by using D-A type N^N ligand and P^P ligands. Their structures, electrochemical, photophysical, and electroluminescence properties have been characterized. The complexes exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of up to 0.71 at room temperature in doped film and the lifetimes are in a wide range of 4.3-24.1 μs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the complexes reveal the lowest-lying intraligand charge-transfer excited states that are localized on the N^N ligands. Solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on one of the new emitters show a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.96%.

Highly photoluminescent copper carbene complexes based on prompt rather than delayed fluorescence.

Project description:Linear two-coordinate copper complexes of cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAAC)CuX (X = halide) show photoluminescence with solid-state quantum yields of up to 96%; in contrast to previously reported Cu photoemitters the emission is independent of temperature over the range T = 4-300 K and occurs very efficiently by prompt rather than delayed fluorescence, with lifetimes in the sub-nanosecond range.

Carbazole/Benzimidazole-Based Bipolar Molecules as the Hosts for Phosphorescent and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters for Efficient OLEDs.

Project description:A series of carbazole/benzimidazole-based molecules, namely, o-CbzBiz, m-CbzBiz, and p-CbzBiz, were readily synthesized in three steps by integrating carbazole with benzimidazole via the ortho-, meta-, and para-positions of phenyl linked to N-phenyl carbazole. These bipolar molecules exhibited a maximum UV absorption band ranging from 310 to 327 nm and a maximum emission band ranging from 380 to 400 nm. Density functional theory calculations showed that the twist angles between the donor and acceptor moieties of these molecules were from 54.9 to 67.1°. Such a twisted structure hampered the π-electron conjugation within the molecule and resulted in high-lying LUMO levels and triplet energies, which make them suitable to be applied as host materials in OLED devices. Our results showed that a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of OLED reached 21.8% when p-CbzBiz was applied as the host of a green phosphorescent emitter, i.e., Ir(ppy)2(acac). In addition, a maximum EQE of OLED reached 16.7% when o-CbzBiz with the host of a green TADF emitter, i.e., 4CzIPN. Moreover, these devices exhibited lower efficiency roll-off than the CBP-hosted device using the same emitters, which demonstrated the bipolar charge carrier property of carbazole/benzimidazole-based molecules.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Cu<sup>I</sup> Complexes Originating from Restricted Molecular Vibrations.

Project description:The mechanism of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in molecules in aggregated or condensed solid states has been rarely studied and is not well understood. Nevertheless, many applications of TADF emitters are strongly affected by their luminescence properties in the aggregated state. In this study, two new isomeric tetradentate CuI complexes which simultaneously show aggregation induced emission (AIE) and TADF characteristics are reported for the first time. We provide direct evidence that effectively restricting the vibrations of individual molecules is a key requisite for TADF in these two CuI complexes through in-depth photophysical measurements combined with kinetic methods, single crystal analysis and theoretical calculations. These findings should stimulate new molecular engineering endeavours in the design of AIE-TADF active materials with highly emissive aggregated states.

Benzoate-based thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials.

Project description:Compounds PTZ-MBZ (methyl 3-(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)benzoate) and DMAC-MBZ (methyl 3-(9,9-dimethylacridin-10(9H)-yl)benzoate) were conveniently synthesized, and they exhibited TADF properties with lifetimes of 0.80 and 2.17 μs, respectively. The spatially separated highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital resulted in a very small singlet-triplet energy gap of 0.0152 eV and 0.0640 eV, respectively. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials with short lifetime could be used as promising luminescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes.

Alkali metal complexes of an enantiopure iminophosphonamide ligand with bright delayed fluorescence.

Project description:The enantiomerically pure ligand P,P-diphenyl-N,N'-bis((R)-1-phenylethyl)phosphinimidic amide (1; (R)-HPEPIA) was synthesized and subsequently deprotonated with alkali metal precursors to yield dimeric complexes [M2{(R)-PEPIA}2] (M = Li (2), Na (3), K (4), Rb (5)). The cesium compound [M{(R)-PEPIA}] (6) crystallized as a cocrystal composed of dimeric ([Cs2{(R)-PEPIA}2] (6d ) and 1D-polymeric ([Cs{(R)-PEPIA}] n ) (6p ) species in a 1 : 1 ratio. The coordination polymer 6p features a unique sinus-shaped configuration of repeating -Cs-N-P-N-Cs-N-P-N- units. Unusual photoluminescence (PL) properties were found for solid 1-6: in contrast to the fluorescent ligand 1, the alkali metal complexes show phosphorescence at low temperatures (<100 K) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) above ∼150 K. The latter provides for PL quantum yields up to 36% (3) at ambient temperature. DFT calculations support that both 1 and 2-6d have similar singlet and triplet excited states with energy separations of a few tens of meV. The strongly enhanced intersystem crossing (ISC) in the metal complexes, resulting in TADF, is attributed to their dimeric structure. This suggests that the fluorophore dimerization may serve as a tool to effect ISC for the design of TADF emitters.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Coinage Metal Cluster Scintillator.

Project description:X-ray scintillators are widely used in medical imaging, industrial flaw detection, security inspection, and space exploration. However, traditional commercial scintillators are usually associated with a high use cost because of their substantial toxicity and easy deliquescence. In this work, an atomically precise Au-Cu cluster scintillator (1) with a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) property was facilely synthesized, which is environmentally friendly and highly stable to water and oxygen. The TADF property of 1 endows it with an ultrahigh exciton utilization rate. Combined with the effective absorption of X-ray caused by the heavy-atom effect and a limited nonradiative transition caused by close packing in the crystal state, 1 exhibits an excellent radioluminescence property. Moreover, 1 has good processability for fabricating a large, flexible thin-film device (10 cm × 10 cm) for high-resolution X-ray imaging, which can reach 40 μm (12.5 LP mm-1). The properties mentioned earlier make the coinage metal cluster promising for use as a substitute for traditional commercial scintillators.

Direct observation of intersystem crossing in a thermally activated delayed fluorescence copper complex in the solid state.

Project description:Intersystem crossing in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials is an important process that controls the rate at which singlet states convert to triplets; however, measuring this directly in TADF materials is difficult. TADF is a significant emerging technology that enables the harvesting of triplets as well as singlet excited states for emission in organic light emitting diodes. We have observed the picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence of a highly luminescent, neutral copper(I) complex in the solid state that shows TADF. The time constant of intersystem crossing is measured to be 27 picoseconds. Subsequent overall reverse intersystem crossing is slow, leading to population equilibration and TADF with an average lifetime of 11.5 microseconds. These first measurements of intersystem crossing in the solid state in this class of mononuclear copper(I) complexes give a better understanding of the excited-state processes and mechanisms that ensure efficient TADF.
