Abstract:
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have attracted significant attention in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their tremendous application potential. The outermost electronic configuration of the Ag(I) complex is d(10) configuration, with d orbitals always being filled. There is no metal-centred (MC) state, therefore the quenching effect caused by the MC state does not occur. This renders it an appropriate choice for the design and development of TADF materials. In this study, we designed and synthesized a novel D-A ligand, 9-(4'-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-(3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-1-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)-3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole (L). The ligand employs 3,6-dimeth-oxy9H-carbazole as the electron donor and comprises a bis-electron-donating group comprising triazine and pyridyl pyrazole as the electron acceptor. An ionic Ag(I) complex, Ag(L)(POP)(BF4) (1), was synthesised utilising L as a nitrogen-containing bidentate ligand and bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether (POP) as a phosphorus-containing bidentate ligand. The ligand L and complex 1 were characterised by H-1 and C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, elemental analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. The complex 1 belongs to the triclinic crystal system with space group P-1, with a=1.30213(4) nm, b=1.63383(4) nm, and c=1.93108(5) nm, alpha=92.941(2)degrees, beta=105.247(3)degrees, gamma=98.591(2)degrees, V=3.90076(18) nm(3). The Ag+ ion in complex 1 is tetrahedrally coordinated with a twisted tetrahedral coordination geometry. At room temperature, complex 1 in solid form emits strong green light under UV light, with a maximum at 490 nm. The fluorescence lifetime is 23.0 ns, the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) lifetime is 503.9 mu s, and the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is 43.8%. The steady-state emission spectra and time-dependent photoluminescent spectra of complex 1 at different temperatures demonstrate that complex 1 exhibits TADF characteristics at room temperature.
