Abstract
(2niq)2Pt2(μ-PhOXT)2, (2niq)2Pt2(μ-tBuOXT)2 (2niq)2Pt2(μ-C6OXT)2 and (2niq)2Pt2(μ-C12OXT)2, were designed and synthesized, featuring 2-naphthylisoquinoline as the chelating ligand and arylthioxadiazole as the auxiliary ligand. The results showed that the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of these four dinuclear platinum complexes in dichloromethane solution were 8.2 %, 13.7 %, 18.3 % and 12.6 %, respectively. In pure thin films, their luminescence lifetimes were 1435, 554, 448, and 1266 ns, respectively. Meanwhile, the (2niq)2Pt2(μ-PhOXT)2-, (2niq)2Pt2(μ-tBuOXT)2-, (2niq)2Pt2(μ-C6OXT)2- and (2niq)2Pt2(μ-C12OXT)2-doped polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs) exhibited deep-red to near-infrared electroluminescence characteristics with emission peaks in the range of 686–706 nm. The maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) were 3.00 %, 3.89 %, 5.03 %, and 5.16 %, respectively. The results revealed that device performance improved with increasing alkyl chain length of the auxiliary ligand, which might be attributed to enhanced charge transport properties. This work provided new insights into the design of efficient deep-red to near-infrared luminescent platinum complexes by introducing alkyl chains into the auxiliary ligands. It offered a novel strategy for modulating the EQEs of the devices based on these platinum complexes from the perspective of auxiliary ligands, thereby advancing PLED applications.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
