Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a phenanthroline benzimidazole structured polyimide single rare earth ion coordinated full-spectrum luminescent material, its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of polymer luminescent material preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) are a class of polymer-based devices that utilize polymers as the light-emitting material. Unlike organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which employ inefficient vacuum thermal evaporation processes, PLEDs are manufactured using cost-effective techniques such as spin coating or inkjet printing. Currently, polymers used in PLEDs, including poly(terephthalic acid), polystyrene, and polyfluorene, are known for their low production costs and excellent processability. However, these polymers exhibit poor thermomechanical properties and are prone to photodegradation and oxidation, especially under harsh environmental conditions. These factors significantly limit the lifespan and reliability of PLED devices. Furthermore, achieving white light emission (full-light emission) using polymers remains a challenge.

[0003] Polyimides (PIs) are widely recognized for their superior thermal stability, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical strength. However, in optoelectronics, they are typically used as transport layers, substrates, or support materials for light emission, and rarely as direct luminescent materials. Due to the strong intramolecular and intermolecular charge transfer (CT) interactions in polyimides (PIs), the CT (π-π*) state is the lowest excited state, resulting in low CT state oscillation intensity and low fluorescence quantum yield. Therefore, traditional aromatic PIs are generally non-luminescent. Current research on the luminescent properties of aromatic PIs generally involves introducing luminescent groups into the polymer chain structure. Other studies incorporate rare-earth metal complexes into PIs. Rare-earth elements are known for their unique electronic transitions, which produce unique emission spectra with high color purity, high luminous efficiency, and extended fluorescence lifetime. However, this pre-coordinated polymerization method is not conducive to obtaining high molecular weight PIs, and the subsequent film formation process becomes more challenging. Rare-earth metals can be introduced into PIs through post-polymerization coordination strategies, theoretically producing coordinated PIs with superior performance, while also obtaining pure and tunable color emission from the polymer.

[0004] To date, research on luminescent rare earth coordination polymers still faces many difficulties and bottlenecks: (1) In terms of synthesis, due to the large radius and strong charge of rare earth ions, the coordination number is large and the coordination configuration is relatively flexible during the coordination reaction. Therefore, it is difficult to control the synthesis of rare earth coordination polymers with specific structural characteristics, which is far from the goal of directional synthesis. (2) In terms of performance, the luminescent properties of rare earth coordination polymers largely depend on the process of sensitizing rare earth ions with organic ligands. External environmental factors, such as the vibration of water molecules, also have a great influence on the luminescence of rare earth coordination polymers. Therefore, how to select suitable organic ligands, control reaction conditions, or use post-modification methods to prepare rare earth coordination polymers with good luminescent properties still needs further research. (3) In terms of application, due to the relatively poor stability, solubility, and mechanical properties of rare earth coordination polymers, how to prepare rare earth coordination polymers into devices through process means to meet the needs of practical applications still needs further exploration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies for luminescent rare-earth coordination polymers, such as poor directional synthesis capabilities, insufficient emission spectral width, and relatively poor application stability and solubility, this application provides a phenanthroline benzimidazole-structured polyimide single rare-earth ion coordinated full-spectrum luminescent material, its preparation method, and its applications. The phenanthroline benzimidazole structure is introduced to impart excellent rare-earth metal ion coordination capabilities. Based on this, PI-Tb is generated through the reaction of a β-diketone small molecule ligand with rare-earth ion sensitizing properties with the polyimide molecule phenanthroline benzimidazole ligand. 3+ Coordinated polyimide. Tb 3+ Red light (Tb) emission under organic ligand sensitization 3+ (5D0→7F5 electronic transition of ions) and Tb 3+ The blue-to-red shift (550-615 nm) in polymer emission occurs due to charge transfer resulting from coordination with the phenanthroline structure in the polymer. Because of the intramolecular cross-linking of the coordinated polyimide, the cross-linking enhances intermolecular charge transfer, thus broadening the emission spectrum to cover a wide wavelength range of 470-700 nm (full-spectrum emission). The rigid structure of phenanthroline benzimidazole imparts good thermal and chemical stability to the material, while the twisted structure increases the free volume of the polymer, enhances its solubility, and improves its processability.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] According to one aspect of this application, a phenanthroline benzimidazole structured polyimide single rare earth ion coordinated full-spectrum luminescent material is provided, comprising a phenanthroline benzimidazole structured polyimide, a rare earth ion, and a β-diketone structured organic small molecule ligand bound by coordination.

[0008] The phenanthroline benzimidazole-structured polyimide has the structure shown in Formula I:

[0011] M is selected from C6-C 40 At least one of the arylene groups;

[0012] 0.5 < n ≤ 1, n + m = 1;

[0113] Step S1: Under an inert gas atmosphere, 2.68 g of 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diacid and 2.27 g of o-phenylenediamine were added to 25 ml of polyphosphoric acid. The reaction was carried out at 220 °C for 6 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to 120 °C, and the reaction solution was poured into 300 ml of an ice-water mixture. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 9 with ammonia. The precipitate was obtained by filtration, washed three times with hexane, and dried in a vacuum drying oven at 80 °C for 6 h to obtain the product 2,9-bis(1-hydro-benzimidazol-2-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline. The NMR spectrum is shown below. Figure 1 As shown;
