Optimizing white light emission in Dy(iii) complexes: impact of energy transfer from mono and bidentate ligands on luminescence. RSC Adv 2024; 14:22642-22655. [PMID: 39027040 PMCID: PMC11255562 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03897e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Complexes of dysprosium(iii) ions with 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione featuring various mono and bi-dentate neutral ligands have been prepared and thoroughly investigated. The synthesized complexes exhibit an octa-coordinated environment, achieved by stoichiometrically combining organic ligands and Dy(iii) ions. This octa-coordination environment of Dy(iii) ion was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis. Near-white light (NWL) is emitted when complexes were exposed to UV radiation, indicating a significant flow of energy from the sensitizing moieties towards the Dy(iii) ion. This NWL emission might have resulted due to a balance between the intensities corresponding to emission peaks at 480 nm (blue) and 575 nm (yellow) in Dy1-Dy3. Emission spectra recorded at different excitation wavelength were utilized to study the tunability of CIE color coordinates. In addition to their high thermal stability, the complexes display bipolar paramagnetic shifts in their NMR spectra. The 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 transition, contributing ∼62% of the total emission, stands out as a promising candidate for laser amplification due to its dominance in the emission spectra. Additionally, NWL emission observed in a solid Dy(iii) complex opens intriguing possibilities for its application in next-generation white-light emitting devices.

Abstract
High ambipolar mobility emissive conjugated polymers (HAME-CPs) are perfect candidates for organic optoelectronic devices, such as polymer light emitting transistors. However, due to intrinsic trade-off relationship between high ambipolar mobility and strong solid-state luminescence, the development of HAME-CPs suffers from high structural and synthetic complexity. Herein, a universal design principle and simple synthetic approach for HAME-CPs are developed. A series of simple non-fused polymers composed of charge transfer units, π bridges and emissive units are synthesized via a two-step microwave assisted C-H arylation and direct arylation polymerization protocol with high total yields up to 61 %. The synthetic protocol is verified valid among 7 monomers and 8 polymers. Most importantly, all 8 conjugated polymers have strong solid-state emission with high photoluminescence quantum yields up to 24 %. Furthermore, 4 polymers exhibit high ambipolar field effect mobility up to 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1, and can be used in multifunctional optoelectronic devices. This work opens a new avenue for developing HAME-CPs by efficient synthesis and rational design.

Abstract
Organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) are highly integrated and minimized optoelectronic devices with significant potential superiority in smart displays and optical communications. To realize these various applications, it is urgently needed for color-tunable emission in OLETs, but remains a great challenge as a result of the difficulty for designing organic semiconductors simultaneously integrating high carrier mobility, strong solid-state emission, and the ability for potential tunable colors. Herein, a high mobility emissive excimer organic semiconductor, 2,7-di(2-anthryl)-9H-fluorene (2,7-DAF) was reasonably designed by introducing a rotatable carbon-carbon single bond connecting two anthracene groups at the 2,7-sites of fluorene, and the small torsion angles simultaneously guarantee effective conjugation and suppress fluorescence quenching. Indeed, the unique stable dimer arrangement and herringbone packing mode of 2,7-DAF single crystal enables its superior integrated optoelectronic properties with high carrier mobility of 2.16 cm2 ⋅ V-1 ⋅ s-1 , and strong excimer emission with absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 47.4 %. Furthermore, the voltage-dependent electrically induced color-tunable emission from orange to blue was also demonstrated for an individual 2,7-DAF single crystal based OLETs for the first time. This work opens the door for a new class of high mobility emissive excimer organic semiconductors, and provides a good platform for the study of color-tunable OLETs.

Abstract
In search of white light emitting fluorophores, a hydrazine bridged Schiff base compound, bis(3-pyrrolyl BODIPY), was synthesized by condensing readily available α-formyl 3-pyrrolyl BODIPY with hydrazine hydrate in CH3OH under reflux for 5 h followed by recrystallization. Bis(3-pyrrolyl BODIPY) was thoroughly characterized by HR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray structure revealed that the 3-pyrrolyl BODIPY units in the dyad were arranged trans to each other with respect to the hydrazine moiety. Bis(3-pyrrolyl BODIPY) showed absorption bands in the region of 390-705 nm and exhibited multiple fluorescence bands in the region of 395-720 nm at different excitation wavelengths. The protonated derivative of bis(3-pyrrolyl BODIPY) generated by the addition of TFA to its CH2Cl2 solution showed significant changes in the optical properties and generated white fluorescence under UV light with specific emission bands observed in blue, green, and red regions, indicating that bis(3-pyrrolyl)BODIPY is a single white light emitting halochromic fluorophore under acidic conditions. DFT and TD-DFT studies justify the structural and electronic properties of the protonated derivative of bis(3-pyrrolyl BODIPY) exhibiting white light emission.

Abstract
Organic semiconductors (OSCs) are widely used in flexible display, renewable energy, and biosensors, owing to their unique solid-state physical and optoelectronic properties. Among the abundant crystal library of OSCs, asymmetric aryl anthracene derivatives have irreplaceable advantages due to the interplay between their distinct π-conjugated geometry and molecular stacking as well as efficient light emission and charge transport properties that can be simultaneously utilized. However, the poor crystal stacking patterns of most asymmetric molecules limit their utility as excellent OSCs. Thus, it is crucial to clarify the structural features that enable the extremely ordered stacking and favorable electronic structure of asymmetric anthracene derivatives to become high-performance OSCs. This contribution investigates the charge transport properties of a series of asymmetric aryl anthracene derivatives to reveal the modulation factors of the molecular stacking modes and to explore the structural factors, which are beneficial to charge transport. The analysis demonstrated that the vinyl-linker facilitated the injection of hole carriers, and the alkynyl-linker effectively reduces the reorganization energy. Importantly, the linear polarizability and permanent dipole moment of a single molecule play a vital regulation to molecular stacking modes and the transfer integral of the dimer. The "head-to-head stacking" motif shows a compact stacking pattern and the maximum 2D anisotropic mobility more than 10 cm2 V-1 s-1. These findings sharpen our understanding of the charge transport properties in asymmetric organic semiconductors and are essential for developing a diverse range of high-performance OSC materials.

Abstract
Emissive organic semiconductors are highly demanding for organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) and electrically pumped organic lasers (EPOLs). However, it remains a great challenge to obtain organic semiconductors with high carrier mobility and high photoluminescence quantum yield simultaneously. Here, a new design strategy is reported for highly emissive ambipolar and even n-type semiconductors by introducing perfluorophenyl groups into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as perylene and anthracene. The results reveal that 3,9-diperfluorophenyl perylene (5FDPP) exhibits the ambipolar semiconducting property with hole and electron mobilities up to 0.12 and 1.89 cm2 V-1 s-1 , and a photoluminescence quantum yield of 55%. One of the crystal forms of 5FDPA exhibits blue emission with an emission quantum yield of 52% and simultaneously shows the n-type semiconducting property with an electron mobility up to 2.65 cm2 V-1 s-1 , which is the highest value among the reported organic emissive n-type semiconductors. Furthermore, crystals of 5FDPP are utilized to fabricate OLETs by using Ag as source-drain electrodes. The electroluminescence is detected in the transporting channels with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of up to 2.2%, and the current density is up to 145 kA cm-2 , which are among the highest values for single-component OLETs with symmetric electrodes.

Abstract
In this work, the negative ion photoelectron spectra of 1-, 2-, and 9-cyanoanthracene (anthracenecarbonitrile, ACN) radical anions, obtained via the calculation of Franck-Condon (FC) factors based on a harmonic oscillator model, are reported. The FC calculations utilize harmonic vibrational frequencies and normal mode vectors derived from density functional theory using the B3LYP/6-311++G (2d,2p) basis set. The removal of an electron from the doublet anion allows for the computation of the negative ion photoelectron spectra that represents the neutral ground singlet state (So) and the lowest triplet state (T1) in each of the three ACN molecules. The respective adiabatic electron affinity (EA) values for the So state in 1-, 2-, and 9-ACN isomers are calculated to be 1.353, 1.360, and 1.423 eV. The calculated EA of the 9-cyanoanthracene singlet isomer is in close agreement with the previously reported experimental value of 1.27 ± 0.1 eV. Calculations show that the T1 states in 1-, 2-, and 9-ACN are located 1.656, 1.663, and 1.599 eV above the So state. The calculated T1 negative ion spectra exhibit intense vibrational origins and weak FC activity beyond the origins, indicating little change in geometry following electron detachment from the doublet anionic state. Upon deprotonation, the EA values of the radical isomers increase by ∼400-700 meV, resulting in neutral deprotonated radicals with EAs between 1.740 and 2.220 eV. The calculated site-specific gas-phase acidity values of ACN isomers indicate that ACN molecules are more acidic than benzonitrile.

Abstract
The development of high mobility emissive organic semiconductors is of great significance for the fabrication of miniaturized optoelectronic devices, such as organic light emitting transistors. However, great challenge exists in designing key materials, especially those who integrates triplet exciton utilization ability. Herein, dinaphthylanthracene diimides (DNADIs), with 2,6-extended anthracene donor, and 3'- or 4'-substituted naphthalene monoimide acceptors were designed and synthesized. By introducing acceptor-donor-acceptor structure, both materials show high electron mobility. Moreover, by fine-tuning of substitution sites, good integration with high solid state photoluminescence quantum yield of 26 %, high electron mobility of 0.02 cm2 V-1 s-1 , and the feature of hot-exciton induced delayed fluorescence were obtained in 4'-DNADI. This work opens a new avenue for developing high electron mobility emissive organic semiconductors with efficient utilization of triplet excitons.

Abstract
Organic semiconductors have received broad attention and research interest due to their unique integration of semiconducting properties with structural tunability, intrinsic flexibiltiy and low cost. In order to meet the requirements of organic electronic devices and their integrated circuits, p-type, n-type and ambipolar organic semiconductors are all necessary. However, due to the limitation in both material synthesis and device fabrication, the development of n-type and ambipolar materials is quite behind that of p-type materials. Recent development in synthetic methods of organic semiconductors greatly enriches the range of n-type and ambipolar materials. Moreover, the newly developed materials with multiple functions also put forward multi-functional device applications, including some emerging research areas. In this review, we give a timely summary on these impressive advances in n-type and ambipolar organic semiconductors with a special focus on their synthesis methods and advanced materials with enhanced properties of charge carrier mobility, integration of high mobility and strong emission and thermoelectric properties. Finally, multi-functional device applications are further demonstrated as an example of these developed n-type and ambipolar materials.

Abstract
Materials for organic light-emitting devices which exhibit superior emission properties in both the solution and solid states with a high fluorescence quantum yield have been extensively sought after. Herein, two metallocages, S1 and S2, were constructed, and both showed typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features with intense yellow fluorescence. By adding blue-emissive 9,10-dimethylanthracene, pure white light emission can be produced in the solution of S1 and S2. Furthermore, due to the remarkable AIE feature and good fluorescence quantum yield in the solid state, metallocages are highly emissive in the solid state and can be utilized to coat blue LED bulbs or integrate with blue-emitting chips to obtain white light. This study advances the usage of metallocages as practical solid-state fluorescent materials and provides a fresh perspective on highly emissive AIE materials.

Abstract
Integrating high charge-carrier mobility and low-threshold lasing action in an organic semiconductor is crucial for the realization of an electrically pumped laser, but remains a great challenge. Herein, we present an organic semiconductor, named as 2,7-di(2-naphthyl)-9H-fluorene (LD-2), which shows an unexpected high charge-carrier mobility of 2.7 cm2 V-1 s-1 and low-threshold lasing characteristic of 9.43 μJ cm-2 and 9.93 μJ cm-2 and high-quality factor (Q) of 2131 and 1684 at emission peaks of 420 and 443 nm, respectively. Detailed theoretical calculations and photophysical data analysis demonstrate that a large intermolecular transfer integral of 10.36-45.16 meV together with a fast radiative transition rate of 8.0×108 s-1 are responsible for the achievement of the superior integrated optoelectronic properties in the LD-2 crystal. These optoelectronic performances of LD-2 are among the highest reported low-threshold lasing organic semiconductors with efficient charge transport, suggesting its promise for research of electrically pumped organic lasers (EPOLs).

Abstract
The fabrication of single-molecule white-light emission (SMWLE) materials has become a highly studied topic in recent years and through-space charge transfer (TSCT) is emerging as an important concept in this field. However, the preparation of ideal TSCT-based SMWLE materials is still a big challenge. Herein, we report a bifunctional pillar[5]arene (TPCN-P5-TPA) with a linear donor-spacer-acceptor structure and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property. The bulky pillar[5]arene between the donor and acceptor induces a twisted conformation and a non-conjugated structure, resulting in intramolecular TSCT. In addition, the AIE feature and pillar[5]arene cavity endow TPCN-P5-TPA with responsiveness to viscosity and polar guests, by which the TSCT emission is triggered. The combination of blue locally-excited state emission and yellow TSCT emission of TPCN-P5-TPA generates SMWLE. Therefore, we provide a new and versatile strategy for the construction of TSCT-based SMWLE materials.

Abstract
New exo-Diels-Alder adduct dyes were synthesized. Pure exo and endo dye isomers were isolated and prepared. Two high-quality, blue-light emitting crystals were obtained. X-ray single crystal diffraction reveals the precise structure of the exo isomer, and longer Diels-Alder bonds (1.59 Å) than common C-C bonds (1.54 Å). The adduct dye displays high intramolecular energy transfer efficiency from the pyrene donor to the dansyl acceptor, where blue-violet donor emission is prohibited. By dynamic furan moiety exchange, the donor fluorescence restores, which combines with complementary green-yellow acceptor fluorescence to give white-light emission of the dye systems. White and green-light emitting dye systems could be reversibly, controllably, and mutually transformed.

Abstract
AbstractOxidation reactions of 1,2-diarylbenzenes induce intramolecular C–C bond formation. The substrates studied were prepared by the stepwise Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction that introduced 2-naphthyl, 2-anthranyl, and 2-pyrenyl groups on the ortho-positions of benzene. The subsequent oxidation reaction with FeCl3 induced an oxidative C–C bond formation reaction in the interior regions of the molecules. In marked contrast to our previous observations, two C–C bonds were formed. Theoretical calculations indicated that large spin densities at the reaction positions of the bis(cation radical) and/or cation radical species are needed for the C–C bond formation. The π-expanded molecules obtained showed bathochromic shifts in the absorption spectra.

Abstract
Organic semiconductor materials have been widely used in various optoelectronic devices due to their rich optical and/or electrical properties, which are highly related to their excited states. Therefore, how to manage and utilize the excited states in organic semiconductors is essential for the realization of high-performance optoelectronic devices. Triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) upconversion is a unique process of converting two non-emissive triplet excitons to one singlet exciton with higher energy. Efficient optical-to-electrical devices can be realized by harvesting sub-bandgap photons through TTA-based upconversion.

Abstract
The development of high mobility organic laser semiconductors with strong emission is of great scientific and technical importance, but challenging. Herein, we present a high mobility organic laser semiconductor, 2,7-diphenyl-9H-fluorene (LD-1) showing unique crystallization-enhanced emission guided by elaborately modulating its crystal growth process. The obtained one-dimensional nanowires of LD-1 show outstanding integrated properties including: high absolute photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) approaching 80 %, high charge carrier mobility of 0.08 cm2 V-1 s-1 , Fabry-Perot lasing characters with a low threshold of 86 μJ cm-2 and a high-quality factor of ≈2400. Furthermore, electrically induced emission was obtained from an individual LD-1 crystal nanowire-based light-emitting transistor due to the recombination of holes and electrons simultaneously injected into the nanowire, which provides a good platform for the study of electrically pumped organic lasers and other related ultrasmall integrated electrical-driven photonic devices.

Abstract
Organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs) are possibly the smallest integrated optoelectronic devices that combine the switching and amplification mechanisms of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and the electroluminescent characteristic of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Such a unique architecture of OLETs makes them ideal for developing the next-generation display technology and electrically pumped lasers for miniaturized photonic devices and circuits. However, the development of OLETs has been slow. Recently, some exciting progress has been made with breakthroughs in high mobility emissive organic semiconductors, construction of high-performance OLETs, and fabrication of novel multifunctional OLETs. This recent slew of advances may represent the advent of a new development stage of OLETs and their related devices and circuits. In this paper, a detailed review of these fantastic advances is presented, with a special focus on the key points for developing high-performance OLETs. Finally, a brief conclusion is provided with a discussion on the challenges and future perspectives in this field.

Abstract
White-light emission (WLE) from a single molecule is a highly desirable alternative to a complex mixture of complementary colour emitters, which suffers from poor stability and reproducibility for potential use in organic electronic devices and lighting applications. We report single-molecule WLE both in solution and thin films by judiciously controlled π-electron delocalisation between the triarylamine subchromophoric units. Triphenylamine (TPA) forms the central core, and the phenyl rings are substituted with the electron-deficient acceptor 3-ethylrhodanine (Rh) and electron-rich donors triphenylamine or carbazole. The enforced biphenyl configuration of the TPA core and the other donors renders the π-conjugation across the entire chromophore poor, thus the individual subchromophoric units retain their individual emission characteristics, which cover all three primary colour emissions, that is, red, green and blue (RGB). TPA-Rh units exhibit broad fluorescence in the green-red region originating from the local excited (LE) state and intramolecular charge transfer state (ICT), strongly influenced by the solvent, water, and temperature. Different fluorescence parameters, including spectral maxima, ratiometric changes in ICT emission at the expense of blue emission from terminal donor units, and changes in lifetime, have a linear relationship with temperature between 180-330 K, thus the molecules can function as a multiparameter luminescent molecular thermometer. A temperature coefficient of 0.19 K-1 in ratiometric fluorescence changes along with a spectral shift of 0.3 nm K-1 and their workability over the wide temperature makes these molecules promising materials for potential applications. At lower temperatures, individual subchromophoric properties subside because of the reduced dihedral angle of biphenyl, and fluorescence from the whole molecule becomes dominant.

Abstract
Mesopolymers with high solubility, free of structural defects, and negligible batch-to-batch variation open a new avenue for organic optoelectronics. Organic light emitting transistors that combine the functions of organic light-emitting diodes and organic field-effect transistors. However, charge transport ability and light emitting strength are contradictory within one conjugated polymer. Herein, three low-molecular-weight mesopolymers with thienopyrroledione-benzothiadiazole repeating units (meso-TBTF) were obtained. The mesopolymers show strong solid-state emission and high ambipolar carrier mobility. The molecular weights of meso-TBTF can be tuned by polymerization temperature. The mesopolymers have photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) of about 50 % in solution and 10 % in solid state. Polymer light emitting diodes of this material are fabricated to explore its potential use in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
It is a big challenge to achieve high-performance organic semiconductor materials integrating both high luminescence efficiency and carrier mobility, because they are commonly regarded as a pair of contradiction. Here, combining a tight-binding model and density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory, we propose a theoretical protocol to characterize the luminescence efficiency via an excitonic effective mass and charge transport ability via charge effective mass at the same level. Applying this protocol to a series of organic semiconductor materials, we find that the multichannel CH-π interaction can induce a heavy excitonic effective mass and light charge effective mass, which effectively balance the light-emitting efficiency and carrier mobility. Thus, a practical molecular design strategy is figured out to exploit novel organic semiconductor materials with strong luminescence and fast carrier transport simultaneously.

Abstract
Anthracene, a simple planar building block for organic semiconductors, shows strong intermolecular interactions and exhibits strong blue fluorescence. Thus, its derivatives have a great potential to integrate considerable charge carrier mobility and strong emission within a molecule. Here, we systematically studied the influence of alkyl chain length on the crystal structures, thermal properties, photophysical characteristics, electrochemical behaviors, and mobilities for a series of 2,6-di(4-alkyl-phenyl)anthracenes (Cn-Ph-Ants, where n represents the alkyl chain length). Among them, Cn-Ph-Ants (n = 0, 1, 2, and 3) display similar layered herringbone (LHB) packing motifs, which facilitate two-dimensional charge transport and thereby enables high-performance organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). All Cn-Ph-Ants exhibit similar work functions and show strong blue fluorescence with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) of approximately 40% in toluene. In addition, the absolute powder PLQYs of C0-, C2-, C3-, C4-, and C6-Ph-Ants are 24.6, 8.2, 5.7, 10.9, and 8.6%, respectively. Note that the alkyl chain length shows a significant effect on the charge mobilities of Cn-Ph-Ants. Our newly synthesized C1-, C3-, and C4-Ph-Ants show hole mobilities of up to 2.40, 1.34, and 1.00 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively, with mobilities of 3.40, 1.57, and 0.82 cm2 V-1 s-1 for C0-, C2-, and C6-Ph-Ants, indicating an increasing tendency of mobility with shorter alkyl chain length. This feature is related to the microstructures of the thin films, which reveal the enhanced film order, crystallinity, and grain size with a decrease in the alkyl chain length. Moreover, we theoretically analyze the intermolecular transfer integrals of HOMOs, which increase at T-shaped contacts as the alkyl chain length decreases, which improves the intermolecular charge transport properties, leading to the increases in mobility. Interestingly, the anisotropy of the transfer integral tends to decrease upon substitution with longer alkyl chains, suggesting that alkyl chain adjustments may facilitate isotropic charge transport property in 2,6-alkylated anthracenes.

Abstract
The booming of host-guest assembly-based supramolecular chemistry provides abundant ways to construct functional systems and materials. Attracted by the important application prospect of white light emission and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials, herein, we report an efficient way for fabricating metal-free white light-emitting AIE materials through the supramolecular assembly of simple organic compounds: methoxyl pillar[5]arene (MP5) and tri-(pyridine-4-ylamido)benzene (TAP). By host-guest assembly, MP5 and TAP formed a supramolecular polymer (MP5-T); meanwhile, the MP5-T xerogel powder emitted white light at CIE coordinates (0.29 and 0.29). The supramolecular assembly and white light-emitting mechanisms were carefully investigated by experiments as well as quantum chemical calculations including density functional theory (DFT), reduced density gradient, electrostatic surface potential, independent gradient model, and frontier molecular orbital (highest-occupied molecular orbital-lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital) analyses. Interestingly, according to the experiments and calculations, the supramolecular assembly is critical in the white light-emitting phenomenon. Moreover, in this work, the quantum chemical calculations could not only support experimental phenomena but also provide deep understanding and visualized presentation of the assembly and emission mechanism. In addition, the obtained MP5-T solid powder could serve as a novel and easy means to make material for white light-emitting devices.

Abstract
Benzoquinone and 9-phenylanthracene barely undergo anticipated cycloaddition under acid catalysis. Instead, 9-anthracenyl aryl ethers are obtained as unexpected products. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction likely undergoes an ionic mechanism between protonated anthracene species and nucleophilic oxygen of 1,4-benzoquinone or 1,4-hydroquinone. A variety of 9-anthracenyl aryl ethers are constructed with this method. Produced anthracenyl aryl ethers are potential scaffolds for new fluorescent molecules.

Abstract
Two novel phenanthro[9,10-b]benzofuran and pyreno[4,5-b]benzofuran modified twistacene derivatives, 9 and 10, have been successfully synthesized via Suzuki coupling and then characterized. The photophysical properties were examined and DFT calculations were carried out in a comparative manner, and both molecules emitted strong blue light in organic solvents and in the solid state. Impressively, fabricated electroluminescent devices based on these single emitters radiate pure white light.

Abstract
A recent experiment [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, 56, 722-727] found that a (1 : 9) blend film of two anthracene derivatives, 2-fluorenyl-2-anthracene (FlAnt) and 2-anthryl-2-anthracence (2 A), exhibit both efficient white light emission and high hole mobility, thus promising for organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs). Employing quantum chemistry at the polarizable continuum model (PCM) and the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) levels, we investigated the excited-state structures, optical spectra, band structure and the carrier mobility for FlAnt and 2 A from solution to aggregate phases. We suggest using the ratio of intermolecular excitonic coupling J and intramolecular excited state relaxation energy E to judge the bathochromic shift in optical emission in aggregates. For FlAnt, ρ=J/E is calculated to be less than 0.17, a critical value we identified earlier, and the spectra in solution and aggregate phases present quite similar features (blue emission). However, ρ is ∼0.5 for 2 A systems, and the calculated emission in the aggregate phase exhibits a remarkable bathochromic shift. In addition, the 0-0 emission is strongly suppressed in the herringbone stacking. These observations justify the experimental findings that (i) 2 A is blue emissive in solution but yellow-green in the aggregate phase, whereas FlAnt is always blue, and (ii) the blend of them show white emission. By using the "quantum nuclear tunneling" model we proposed earlier, we found the hole mobility for FlAnt and 2 A are 0.5 and 4.2 cm2 V-1 s-1 , respectively, indicating both are good hole transport materials.

Abstract
Anthracene-based semiconductors have attracted great interest due to their molecular planarity, ambient and thermal stability, tunable frontier molecular orbitals and strong intermolecular interactions that can lead to good device field-effect transistor performance. In this study, we report the synthesis of six anthracene derivatives which were di-substituted at the 2,6-positions, their optical, electrochemical and thermal properties, and their single crystal structures. It was found that 2,6-functionalization with various fluorinated phenyl derivatives led to negligible changes in the optical behaviour while influencing the electrochemical properties. Furthermore, the choice of fluorinated phenyl moiety had noticeable effects on melting point and thermal stability (ΔTm < 55 °C and ΔTd < 65 °C). Bottom-gate top-contact (BGTC) organic thin transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated and characterized using the 2,6-anthracene derivatives as the semiconducting layer. The addition of fluorine groups on the phenyl groups led to a transition from p-type behaviour to n-type behaviour in BGBC OTFTs.

Abstract
Here, we design and synthesize an organic laser molecule, 2,7-diphenyl-9H-fluorene (LD-1), which has state-of-the-art integrated optoelectronic properties with a high mobility of 0.25 cm2 V-1 s-1, a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 60.3%, and superior deep-blue laser characteristics (low threshold of Pth = 71 μJ cm-2 and Pth = 53 μJ cm-2 and high quality factor (Q) of ∼3100 and ∼2700 at emission peaks of 390 and 410 nm, respectively). Organic light-emitting transistors based on LD-1 are for the first time demonstrated with obvious electroluminescent emission and gate tunable features. This work opens the door for a new class of organic semiconductor laser molecules and is critical for deep-blue optical and laser applications.

Abstract
Chiral nanomaterials with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have attracted increasing attention as they show improved luminous efficiency and high contrast images in optical displays. Herein, nanotwisted fibers with bright full-color CPL are developed through the co-assembly of chiral phenylalanine derived gelators and achiral aromatic molecules. The synergic effect of π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions between the chiral and achiral building blocks results in long-range ordered self-assembly, enabling the chirality of the gelators to be better transmitted to the achiral aromatic molecules. Highly ordered co-assemblies lead to the formation of supramolecular gels with high glum values which range up to 10-3. Moreover, nanoassemblies with white CPL are obtained by tuning the ratio of colorful achiral aromatic molecules in the gels. These nanotwisted gels show diverse colors or even white circularly polarized light when coated on UV chips, which enable their future application in the construction of low-cost and flexible light-emitting devices such as circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CPOLEDs).

Abstract
Anthracene-based semiconductors are a class of molecules that have attracted interest due to their air stability, planarity, potential for strong intermolecular interactions, and favorable frontier molecular orbital energy levels. In this study seven novel 9,10-anthracene-based molecules were synthesized and their optical, electrochemical, and thermal properties were characterized, along with their single crystal arrangement. We found that functionalization of the 9,10-positions with different phenyl derivatives resulted in negligible variation in the optical properties with minor (±0.10 eV) changes in electrochemical behavior, while the choice of phenyl derivative greatly affected the thermal stability (Td > 258 °C). Preliminary organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated and characterized using the 9,10-anthracene-based molecules as the semiconductor layer. These findings suggest that functionalization of the 9,10-position of anthracene leads to an effective handle for tuning of the thermal stability, while having little to no effect on the optical properties and the solid-state arrangement.

Front Chem 2019; 7:11. [PMID: 30729106 PMCID: PMC6351495 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2019.00011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2018] [Accepted: 01/07/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel p-type organic semiconductor with high thermal stability is developed by simply incorporating cyclohexyl substituted aryl groups into the 2,6-position of anthracene, namely 2,6-di(4-cyclohexylphenyl)anthracene (DcHPA), and a similar compound with linear alkyl chain, 2,6-di(4-n-hexylphenyl)anthracene (DnHPA), is also studied for comparison. DcHPA shows sublimation temperature around 360°C, and thin film field-effect transistors of DcHPA could maintain half of the original mobility value when heated up to 150°C. Corresponding DnHPA has sublimation temperature of 310°C and the performance of its thin film devices decreases by about 50% when heated to 80°C. The impressing thermal stability of the cyclohexyl substitution compounds might provide guidelines for developing organic electronic materials with high thermal stability.

Abstract
White-light-emitting diodes are energy efficiency replacement of conventional lighting sources. Herein, we report the luminescent behavior of three simple cyanostilbenes with triphenylamine-donating groups bearing different electron-withdrawing groups (phenyl, pyridyl, and p-nitrophenyl) in a common donor (D)-π-acceptor (A) α-cyanostilbene construct along with their thermal and electrochemical properties. The density functional theory (DFT) studies reveal that aggregation-induced emission characteristic feature of the D-π-A dyes is inversely proportional to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, that is, phenyl-and pyridyl-substituted compounds show characteristic aggregation-induced emission in water, whereas the ICT effect is dominant for the nitro derivative. The extent of ICT and the solvatochromic emission shifts, from blue to red, depend on the strength of the electron-withdrawing group. White luminescence and tunable emission colors are obtained by careful admixtures of these cyanostilbenes bearing triphenylamines. The results rationalized through DFT and time-dependent DFT calculations follow a consistent trend with the energy levels measured from the electrochemical and optical studies. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry studies showed excellent thermal stability of the compounds. The scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements were performed to reveal the formation of aggregates. This strategy involving synthetically simple and structurally similar molecules with different emission properties has potential applications in the fabrication of multicolor and white-light-emitting materials.
