Abstract

Tetradentate Pt(II) complexes, comprising of benzoimidazolyl N-heterocyclic carbene (BI-NHC) coordination, have shown superior performance in blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs). Here, four frame-structured complexes were synthesized to explore the intrinsic ligand effect for rapid, efficient and narrow-spectra blue phosphorescence through experimental analyses and theoretical calculations. We found carbazolylpridine (CzPy) chelating part in Pt(II) BI-NHC complexes dominates the phosphorescence with the suppression of metal-centered transition and electron-vibration coupling. Consequently, the CzPy chelated complexes (PtN-dip and PtN-dtb) achieved high luminescent efficiency, rapid radiative decay rate (k_r) and narrow emission spectra. The peripheral substituent 2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl (dip) on NHC of PtN-dip constrains the molecule, significantly reducing the non-radiative decay rate (k_nr) and enhancing the efficiency. The 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl (dtb) in PtN-dtb could enhances low-frequency vibration coupling that could expedite the excitons decay, resulting in higher k_r and k_nr. This work unveils the intrinsic factors behind the ligand effects of Pt(II) BI-NHC based complexes, leading to a rapid, efficient and narrow-spectra phosphorescence.

揭示配体对 Pt（Ⅱ）碳烯配合物快速、高效和窄谱蓝色磷光的影响

由苯并咪唑N-杂环碳烯（BI-NHC）配位组成的四价铂(II)配合物在蓝色磷光有机发光二极管（PhOLED）中表现出卓越的性能。在此，我们合成了四种框架结构的配合物，通过实验分析和理论计算，探索配体对快速、高效和窄谱蓝色磷光的内在效应。我们发现，Pt(II) BI-NHC 复合物中的咔唑基普利丁（CzPy）螯合部分在抑制金属中心转变和电子振动耦合的作用下主导了磷光。因此，CzPy 螯合配合物（PtN-dip 和 PtN-dtb）具有高发光效率、快速辐射衰减率（kr）和窄发射光谱。PtN-dip NHC 上的外围取代基 2,6-二异丙基苯基（dip）限制了分子，显著降低了非辐射衰减速率（knr），提高了发光效率。PtN-dtb 中的 3,5-二叔丁基苯基（dtb）可以增强低频振动耦合，从而加快激子衰变，导致更高的 kr 和 knr。这项研究揭示了基于 BI-NHC 的 Pt(II) 复合物配体效应背后的内在因素，从而产生快速、高效和窄谱的磷光。
