文摘
A series of green butterfly-shaped thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters, namely PXZPM, PXZMePM, and PXZPhPM, are developed by integrating an electron-donor (D) phenoxazine unit and electron-acceptor (A) 2-substituted pyrimidine moiety into one molecule via a phenyl-bridge π linkage to form a D–π–A–π–D configuration. Changing the substituent at pyrimidine unit in these emitters can finely tune their emissive characteristics, thermal properties, and energy gaps between the singlet and triplet states while maintaining frontier molecular orbital levels, and thereby optimizing their optoelectronic properties. Employing these TADF emitters results in a green fluorescent organic light-emitting diode (OLED) that exhibits a peak forward-viewing external quantum efficiency (EQE) close to 25 % and a slow efficiency roll-off characteristic at high luminance.
