Abstract:
Multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) compounds have set off an upsurge of research because of their tremendous application prospects in the field of wide color gamut display. Herein, we propose a novel MR-TADF molecular construction paradigm based on polycyclization of the multiple resonance parent core, and construct a representative multiple resonance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (MR-PAH) based on the para-alignment of boron and nitrogen atoms into a six-membered ring (p-BNR). Through the retrosynthesis analysis, a concise synthesis strategy with wide applicability has been proposed, encompassing programmed sequential boron esterification, Suzuki coupling and Scholl oxidative coupling. The target model molecule BN-TP shows green fluorescence with an emission peak at 523 nm and a narrow full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 34 nm. The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) employing BN-TP as an emitter exhibits ultrapure green emission with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.26, 0.70), and achieves a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 35.1 %.
