New Polycyclic Red Luminescent Compounds Based on Carbonyl/Nitrogen Skeleton for Efficient Narrow-Spectrum OLEDs.

ABSTRACT: Advances in OLED display technology have increased the demand for high-performance luminescent materials, yet efficient red emitters with narrow emission spectra remain rare. Here, two new polycyclic compounds (O-QA and S-QA) are designed by incorporating oxygen/sulfur into a carbonyl/nitrogen skeleton. Photophysical and theoretical studies reveal their hybridized local and charge-transfer state characteristics. In toluene, O-QA and S-QA show photoluminescence peaks at 586/579 nm with narrow emission spectra, while doped films exhibit strong red emissions peaking at 598/600 nm with high PL quantum yields of 67%/60%. The OLEDs using these emitters achieve red electroluminescence (EL) peaks at 598/602 nm, and attain maximum external quantum efficiencies of 7.36%/14.54%. This work may provide
