Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of organic cluster luminescent materials, and in particular relates to a linear non-conjugated cluster luminescent molecule, its preparation and its application in a light-emitting device. Background Art

[0002] Luminescent materials, as important functional materials for information display, are widely used in display devices, chemical sensing, and bioimaging. Depending on the material, they are divided into two types: inorganic and organic. Organic luminescent materials are gaining increasing attention due to their diverse variety, tunable colors, and ease of synthesis. Therefore, how to manipulate their luminescence properties by changing their molecular structure has been a key research focus in the field of organic luminescent materials.

[0003] Currently, the emission wavelength and efficiency of luminescent molecules can be effectively controlled based on the theory of molecular valence conjugation. However, anomalous visible light emission has been observed in non-conjugated molecules widely found in nature, such as proteins, cellulose, and amino acids. This provides a novel strategy for the design of long-wavelength luminescent materials. Furthermore, the structural flexibility of these non-conjugated systems greatly enhances the material's processability. Therefore, the study of these unique luminescence phenomena not only has important theoretical and applied value, but also provides new strategies for the design and performance control of fluorescent materials.

[0004] Patent publication number CN112521534A discloses a method for preparing a cluster-induced highly fluorescent non-conjugated polymer. First, a polyvinylpyrrolidone solution is prepared. Second, the polyvinylpyrrolidone solution and ascorbic acid solution are mixed and reacted at 0-100°C for 2-12 hours to obtain a product solution (PVP-APDs). Finally, the PVP-APDs solution is mixed with a 5-30 mM m-phenylenediamine solution and reacted at 0-80°C for 1-5 hours to obtain a product solution (PVP-APDs@MPD). The resulting non-conjugated polymer exhibits a fluorescence quantum yield of up to 46.9% and exhibits cluster-induced emission properties.

[0005] Linear non-conjugated oligomeric aromatic hydrocarbons are highly symmetrical and relatively flexible non-conjugated structures. They also offer advantages such as simple structural composition and strong controllability, making them ideal models for studying the relationship between non-conjugated molecular structure and luminescence properties. However, currently reported synthetic methods for linear non-conjugated oligomers suffer from drawbacks such as harsh reaction conditions, cumbersome steps, poor substrate compatibility, and low yields of target products (Die Makromolekulare Chemie, 1974, 175, 2423-2439; Tetrahedron Letters, 1985, 26, 6023-6026). Therefore, the search for a simple and efficient method for preparing linear non-conjugated oligomers has long been a focus of attention in the fields of organic synthesis and optical materials. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the current bottlenecks in this field, the present invention aims to provide a novel, reliable, and easily synthesized linear non-conjugated cluster luminescent molecule.
