Synthesis and electroluminescence properties of highly efficient dual core chromophores with side groups for blue emission

Abstract

Highly efficient blue emitting materials consisting of dual core derivatives with phenyl and/or naphthyl side groups and asymmetric or symmetric structures were designed and synthesized. The asymmetric structures 1-naphthalen-1-yl-6-(10-phenyl-anthracen-9-yl)-pyrene (Ph-AP-Na) and 1-(10-naphthalen-1-yl-anthracen-9-yl)-6-phenyl-pyrene (Na-AP-Ph), and the symmetric structures 1-phenyl-6-(10-phenyl-anthracen-9-yl)-pyrene (Ph-AP-Ph) and 1-naphthalen-1-yl-6-(10-naphthalen-1-yl-anthracen-9-yl)-pyrene (Na-AP-Na) were synthesized. Of the synthesized compounds, Na-AP-Na was found to exhibit the highest EL device efficiency of 5.46 cd A−1. Ph-AP-Na, Na-AP-Ph, Ph-AP-Ph, and Na-AP-Na exhibit EL maximum values of real blue color in the range 455 nm to 463 nm. The y values of their color coordinates are within the range 0.125 to 0.142, so these compounds exhibit good blue color coordinates for displays. The lifetime of the Na-AP-Na device was more than three times longer than that of the AP dual core (1-anthracen-9-yl-pyrene) device.
