Abstract
Three donor-acceptor compounds based on the imidazo-pyrazine-5,6-dicarbonitrile (IPDC) acceptor were synthesized. The IPDC emitters exhibit blue to near-infrared (NIR) emission with up to 54 % photoluminescent quantum yield. 9,9-Dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (ACR), phenoxazine (POX), and phenothiazine (PTZ) served as electron donors. IPDC-POX displayed NIR emission in toluene solution, while showing room-temperature phosphorescence in the solid state. IPDC-ACR exhibited yellow thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Interestingly, dual-emissive behavior as well as excitation-dependent thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) was found for IPDC-PTZ, arising from the two conformers of phenothiazine derivatives. Overall, this work describes a novel strong electron acceptor from the fusion of imidazole, pyrazine, and nitrile functional groups into one conjugated heterocycle for materials exhibiting NIR emission, TADF, and/or room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP).
