Abstract:
Multiresonance (MR) emitters featuring narrowband emissions and theoretically 100% exciton harvesting are great potential for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) applications. However, how to functionalize MR molecules without scarifying emission color purity is still a key challenge. Herein, we report a feasible strategy for selective optimization of MR molecules, which is demonstrated by a blue MR emitter tCBNDASPO substituted with a diphenylphosphine oxide (DPPO) group. Compared to its DPPO-free parent molecule, tCBNDASPO preserves narrowband feature with full widths at half maximum (FWHM) values of 28 nm in film and 32 nm in OLEDs and achieves 40% increased photoluminescence (92%) and electroluminescence quantum efficiencies (28%). It is showed that insulation effect of P=O effectively confines the singlet excited state on MR core to keep emission color purity, and its induction effect enhances singlet radiation and triplet-to-singlet conversion. This synergism for selective optimization is based on rational linkage between MR core and functional groups.
