Abstract:
To control excimer/aggregation emission and achieve a single active emitter of aggregation for controllable white polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs), two star-shaped dinuclear platinum(ii) complexes of C6DBCzC6-DFPt(pic) and DPy(TPA)-C6DBCzC6-DFPt(pic) were synthesized and characterized, in which DBCz is a 3,6-diphenyl-carbazole bridged core, C6 is an unconjugated dioxyhexyloxy linkage, DPy(TPA) is (4,4'-di(pyren-1-yl)triphenylamine), a deep blue-emitting fluorescent chromophore, and DPtF(pic) is a dinuclear platinum(ii) [(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,C(2')](picolinate) blue-emitting phosphorescent chromophore. Compared to its parent complex C6DBCzC6-DFPt(pic), DPy(TPA)-C6DBCzC6-DFPt(pic) showed a lower lying highest occupied molecular energy level (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular energy level (LUMO). Under a current of 2.5 mA, near-white emission was obtained in the DPy(TPA)-C6DBCzC6-DFPt(pic)-doped devices at dopant concentrations from 4 wt% to 10 wt%. However, green-yellow emission was obtained in the C6DBCzC6-DFPt(pic)-doped devices with the same device configuration using a blend of polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) and 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) as a host matrix, respectively. This indicates that incorporating a deep blue fluorescent chromophore into a green-yellow emitting dinuclear platinum(ii) complex is an available way to control aggregation/excimer emissions and get white-emitting PLEDs with a single dopant.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
