Abstract

Two light-emitting polyphenylene dendrimers with both hole and electron transporting moieties were synthesized and characterized. Both molecules exhibited pure blue emission solely from the pyrene core and efficient surface-to-core energy transfers when characterized in a nonpolar environment. In particular, the carbazole- and oxadiazole-functionalized dendrimer (D1) manifested a pure blue emission from the pyrene core without showing intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in environments with increasing polarity. On the other hand, the triphenylamine- and oxadiazole-functionalized one (D2) displayed notable ICT with dual emission from both the core and an ICT state in highly polar solvents. D1, in a three-layer organic light emitting diode (OLED) by solution processing gave a pure blue emission with Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage 1931 CIE xy = (0.16, 0.12), a peak current efficiency of 0.21 cd/A and a peak luminance of 2700 cd/m2. This represents the first reported pure blue dendrimer emitter with bipolar charge transport and surface-to-core energy transfer in OLEDs.

Summary

Introduction

OLEDs have manifested a broad range of applications in flat-panel displays and solid-state lighting [1,2,3]. Dendrimers for OLEDs generally include two types: one designed for better charge transport (conjugated scaffold) [14,15,16,17,18,19]. One for surface-to-core energy transfers (non-conjugated scaffold) [20,21,22,23,24]. For this purpose, shape-persistent polyphenylene dendrimers enable generation-by-generation (core-shell-surface) functionalization and OLEDs utilizing efficient surface-to-core energy transfers.
