Abstract
We report six new 2,6-disubstituted fluorene-based conjugated molecules carrying orthogonal triphenylamine and pyridine moiety as donor-acceptor units at the C-9 position. The geminal donor-acceptor is connected to the fluorene core by σ-conjugation. Optical/solvatochromic studies, investigated by UV-VIS absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, show blue emission with good quantum yield (40–70%) in solution and in thin film state for the synthesized compounds. In microsecond order, the derivatives give a shorter delayed lifetime (both in solution and thin films), facilitating reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). TD-DFT studies for all the derivatives show minimal singlet-triplet splitting in the gas phase (close to 0.2 eV), and the high thermal stability confirmed by the compound's TGA method (320–398 °C) makes them very useful in the optoelectronic market.
Graphical abstract
D-σ-π-σ-A based blue emitters carrying orthogonal triphenylamine and pyridine moiety as donor-acceptor unit at C-9 position were synthesized. Optical/solvatochromic studies, investigated by UV-VIS absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, show blue emission with good quantum yield (40–70%) in solution and in thin film state for the synthesized compounds.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Chemical Sciences is a monthly journal published by the Indian Academy of Sciences. It formed part of the original Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences – Part A, started by the Nobel Laureate Prof C V Raman in 1934, that was split in 1978 into three separate journals. It was renamed as Journal of Chemical Sciences in 2004. The journal publishes original research articles and rapid communications, covering all areas of chemical sciences. A significant feature of the journal is its special issues, brought out from time to time, devoted to conference symposia/proceedings in frontier areas of the subject, held not only in India but also in other countries.
