3,3'-Bicarbazole structural derivatives as charge transporting materials for use in OLED devices
2018
In this study we report novel 3,3′-bicarbazole based charge transporting materials mainly designed for a use in systems containing phosphorescent iridium (III) complex emitters. A low-cost oxidative coupling reaction using FeCl3 was employed in the synthesis of 3,3′-bicarbazole compounds. Different derivatives of 3,3′-bicarbazole with 4-ethoxyphenyland ethyl- substituents at 9,9′- positions and (2,2-diphenylhydrazono)methyl- and 4-(dimethylamino)styryl- substituents at 6,6′- positions were synthesized. Obtained (2,2-diphenylhydrazono)methyl- derivatives exhibit glass transition temperatures that are sufficient for applications in electronic devices. Thin amorphous films of good optical qual…
Solid-state luminescence of Au-Cu-alkynyl complexes induced by metallophilicity-driven aggregation.
2012
A new series of homoleptic alkynyl complexes, [{Au2Cu2(C2R)4}n] (R=C3H7O (1), C6H11O (2), C9H19O (3), C13H11O (4)), were obtained from Au(SC4H8)Cl, Cu(NCMe)4PF6, and the corresponding alkyne in the presence of a base (NEt3). Complexes 1-4 aggregate upon crystallization into polymeric chains through extensive metallophilic interactions. The cluster that contains fluorenolyl functionalities, C13H9O (5), crystallizes in its molecular form as a disolvate, [Au2Cu2(C2C13H9O)4]·2THF. The substitution of weakly bound THF molecules with pyridine molecules leads to the complex [Au2Cu2(C2C13H9O)4]·2py (6), thus giving two polymorphs in the solid state. Such structural diversity is established through …
Preparation and Thermochromic Switching between Phosphorescence and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence of Mononuclear Copper(I) Complexes
2020
Instructive, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly laboratory syntheses of two highly luminescent copper(I) complexes CuI(PPh3)2(pyR) (pyR = pyridine, 4-cyanopyridine) are described for second-year/upper-division undergraduate inorganic chemistry students. Both complexes exhibit bright thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) at ambient temperature and phosphorescence at low temperature. The laboratory experiments familiarize the students with mechanochemical syntheses, cluster and complex formation, ligand substituent effects, and the fascinating phenomenon of luminescence thermochromism.
Luminescence properties of a cofacial dipalladium porphyrin dimer under argon and in the presence of dioxygen
2001
The preparation and luminescence properties of a dipalladium cofacial porphyrin dimer (DPA) Pd 2 (where DPA is the tetraanion of 1,8-bis(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrin-5-yl)anthracene) are reported and compared together with the photophysical behavior of the known monomeric (OEP)Pd and (TPP)Pd complexes. The effect of dioxygen in the presence and in the absence of the very bulky base, 1-t-butyl-5-phenylimidazole, is also investigated. The title dimer, (DPA) Pd 2, shows fluorescence and phosphorescence in the ps and ms time scale, respectively, with a global intensity lower than that of the porphyrin monomer analogues. The fluorescence sensitivity towards dioxygen quenc…
A Theoretical Insight into the Photophysics of Acridine
2001
The electronic absorption and emission spectra of acridine have been studied by means of a multiconfigurational second-order perturbation method (CASSCF/CASPT2) and its multistate extension (MS-CASPT2). The low-lying valence singlet and triplet π → π* and n → π* excited states have been computed. The location of the lowest Rydberg state (3s) has been also estimated. By optimization of the geometries of the ground and low-lying excited states and the calculation of transition energies and properties, the obtained results lead to a complete analysis and assignment of the available experimental singlet−singlet and triplet−triplet absorption spectra and to the description of the basic features …
Green-Light Activation of Push-Pull Ruthenium(II) Complexes.
2020
Abstract Synthesis, characterization, electrochemistry, and photophysics of homo‐ and heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(cpmp)2]2+ (22+) and [Ru(cpmp)(ddpd)]2+ (32+) bearing the tridentate ligands 6,2’’‐carboxypyridyl‐2,2’‐methylamine‐pyridyl‐pyridine (cpmp) and N,N’‐dimethyl‐N,N’‐dipyridin‐2‐ylpyridine‐2,6‐diamine (ddpd) are reported. The complexes possess one (32+) or two (22+) electron‐deficient dipyridyl ketone fragments as electron‐accepting sites enabling intraligand charge transfer (ILCT), ligand‐to‐ligand charge transfer (LL'CT) and low‐energy metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorptions. The latter peak around 544 nm (green light). Complex 22+ shows 3MLCT phosphorescenc…
Harnessing Fluorescence versus Phosphorescence Branching Ratio in (Phenyl)n-Bridged (n = 0–5) Bimetallic Au(I) Complexes
2013
We have designed and synthesized a series of Au(I) complexes bearing either an alkynyl–(phenylene)n–diphosphine (A-0–A-3) or a (phenylene)n–diphosphine (B-1–B-5) bridge, among which the effective distance between Au(I) and the center of the emitting ππ* chromophore can be fine-tuned via the insertion of various numbers of phenylene spacers. We then demonstrated for the first time in a systematic manner the decrease of rate constant for S1 → T1 intersystem crossing (ISC) kisc as the increase of the effective distance. The results also unambiguously showed that the phosphorescence could be harvested via higher S0 → Sn (n > 1) electronic excitation, followed by fast Sn → Tm ISC and then the po…
Through space singlet-singlet and triplet-triplet energy transfers in cofacial bisporphyrins held by the carbazoyl spacer
2007
The through space singlet-singlet and triplet-triplet energy transfers in cofacial bis(etio-porphyrins) rigidly held by the carbazoyl spacer were investigated. The studies on singlet-singlet transfer, which operates via a Förster mechanism, were performed using the zinc porphyrin and free base chromophores as energy donor and acceptor, respectively, while the investigation on triplet-triplet processes was performed using the palladium porphyrin, and the zinc porphyrin and free base chromophores as donor and acceptors, respectively. The rate for singlet-singlet transfer ( k ET ( singlet )) is unexpectedly slower than that reported for other similar, rigidly held bisporphyrins such as H 2( D…
Production of Phosphorescent Coatings on 6082 Aluminum Using Sr0.95Eu0.02Dy0.03Al2O4-δ Powder and Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation
2019
In this study, a new approach for producing phosphorescent aluminum coatings was studied. Using the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process, a porous oxide coating was produced on the Al6082 aluminum alloy substrate. Afterwards, activated strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+) powder was filled into the cavities and pores of the PEO coating, which resulted in a surface that exhibits long-lasting luminescence. The structural and optical properties were studied using XRD, SEM, and photoluminescence measurements. It was found that the treatment time affects the morphology of the coating, which influences the amount of strontium aluminate powder that can be incorporated into the coating …
Effect of Gold(I) on the Room-Temperature Phosphorescence of Ethynylphenanthrene.
2020
The synthesis of two series of gold(I) complexes containing the general formulae PR 3 ‐Au‐C≡C‐phenanthrene (PR 3 = PPh 3 ( 1a / 2a ), PMe 3 ( 1b / 2b ), PNaph 3 ( 1c / 2c )) or (diphos)(Au‐C≡C‐phenanthrene) 2 (diphos = 1,1‐ bis (diphenylphosphino)methane, dppm ( 1d / 2d ); 1,4‐ bis (diphenylphosphino)butane, dppb ( 1e / 2e )) have been synthesized. The two series differ on the position of the alkynyl substituent on the phenanthrene chromophore, being at the 9‐position (9‐ethynylphenanthrene) for the L1 ‐series and at the 2‐position (2‐ethynylphenanthrene) for the L2 ‐series. The compounds have been fully characterized by 1 H and 31 P NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single cry…
