摘要
New blue- to yellow-emitting materials have been developed by incorporating fluorene-based chromophores on pyrene core with acetylene linkage and using multifold palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Both mono- and tetrasubstituted derivatives have been synthesized and characterized. The tetrasubstituted derivatives displayed red-shifted emission when compared to the monosubstituted derivative indicative of an extended conjugation in the former. End-capping with a diphenylamine unit further red-shifted the absorption and emission profiles and imparted a weak dipolar character to the molecules. Amine-containing derivatives displayed positive solvatochromism in the fluorescence spectra indicating a more polar excited state due to an efficient charge migration from the diphenylamine donor to the pyrene pi-acceptor. All of the derivatives were tested as emitting dopants with host material 4,4%26apos;-bis(9H-carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl (CBP) in a multilayered OLED and found to exhibit bright blue or yellow electroluminescence. The device utilizing 1,3,6,8-tetrasubstituted pyrene derivative as a dopant emitter displayed highest maximum luminescence 4630 cd/m(2) with power efficiency 3.8 lm/W and current efficiency 7.1 cd/A at 100 cd/m(2) attributable to the proper alignment of energy levels that led to the efficient harvesting of excitons. All of the devices exhibited color purity over a wide range of operating voltages.
