AI Technical Summary
Existing small-molecule organic electroluminescent devices suffer from insufficient color purity and a wide half-width ratio, making it difficult to meet the high efficiency and long lifespan requirements of commercial organic light-emitting diodes.
By using fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compounds with fixed donor structures, the donor pyrene and carbazole are linked to the α-position of the BODIPY core via vinyl bridges to prepare molecules with fixed donor-acceptor conformations. This restricts stretching or torsional vibrations, improves fluorescence quantum yield, and achieves fluorescence emission with narrow spectrum and high color purity.
It achieves narrow spectrum with a very narrow half-width and high color purity fluorescence emission, improving device performance, especially the balance of carrier injection and transport in OLED devices, and is suitable for luminescent and display materials.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of organic light-emitting materials technology, and more specifically, to a fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compound with a fixed donor structure, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have enormous application potential in smartphones, flat-screen TVs, and solid-state display technologies due to their advantages such as light weight, flexibility, wide operating temperature range, high brightness and contrast, wide viewing angle, and short response time. OLED devices are particularly crucial for full-color displays and solid-state display technologies.
[0003] To date, there have been many reports on materials based on small molecule organic electroluminescent devices. As a traditional donor-π-acceptor molecular structure, it can form a distorted conformation upon excitation, leading to efficient charge transfer and separation of the donor and acceptor.
[0004] However, structural lag between the ground state and the twisted excited state leads to drawbacks such as insufficient color purity and a wide half-width at half-maximum (HWHM). Commercial organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology requires high device efficiency, good color purity, and long device lifetime. Therefore, discovering and fabricating a small-molecule organic electroluminescent device with high color purity and a narrow HWHM is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0116] In this application, besides Ph-BDP-Cz and Ph-BDP-PY, several other fluoroboron pyrrole derivatives, due to their structural similarity to the aforementioned two compounds, all belong to the fluoroboron pyrrole derivative class. Utilizing the fluoroboron pyrrole ring (as an electron acceptor) as a bridge, and through a vinyl bridge structure, the electron-withdrawing interaction of the donor R with an electron-withdrawing structure of 1–33 (e.g., ortho, meta, p-fluorophenyl, styryl, acrylate, (R or S) 5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-p-cyanophenyl, (R or S) 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-p-cyanophenyl, etc.) can produce narrow spectra with very narrow half-maximum widths and high color purity fluorescence emission. Therefore, the preparation and characterization methods of the other fluoroboron pyrrole derivatives are similar to those of the aforementioned two compounds and will not be elaborated further here.
[0117] Meanwhile, the preparation process of the compound described in this application is simple, convenient, and can be prepared in large-scale batches. It is also economical and practical, which is conducive to industrial production and preparation, generates certain economic value, and facilitates its application and promotion.
[0118] Characterization and performance testing
[0119] Using the compounds Ph-BDP-Cz and Ph-BDP-PY prepared in steps S3 and S4 as test objects, the photophysical properties of compounds Ph-BDP-Cz and Ph-BDP-PY were tested, and the test results are as follows: Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown.
[0120] Figure 6 , Figure 7 Normalized absorption and emission spectra of molecules Ph-BDP-Cz and Ph-BDP-PY in toluene solution, measured by a Shimadzu UV-2700 UV-Vis spectrophotometer and an Edinburgh FLS980 spectrophotometer.
[0121] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the absorption wavelength of Ph-BDP-Cz is 672nm and the emission wavelength is 692nm.
[0122] Ph-BDP-PY has an absorption wavelength of 693nm and an emission wavelength of 723nm.
[0123] from Figure 6 , Figure 7 In addition, the applicant can also calculate that the emission half-widths of Ph-BDP-Cz and Ph-BDP-PY are 29 nm and 34 nm, respectively, which are much narrower than the half-widths of about 60 nm of traditional fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent molecules.
[0124] Both Ph-BDP-Cz and Ph-BDP-PY exhibit high-purity bright near-infrared light emission, making these narrow-band emission fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compounds with fixed donor structures highly valuable for applications such as luminescent materials, smart materials, display materials, and light-emitting devices.
[0125] In this application, besides Ph-BDP-Cz and Ph-BDP-PY, several other fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compounds with fixed donor structures are structurally similar to the aforementioned two compounds. They all belong to the fluoroboron pyrrole ring main ring structure, using the fluoroboron pyrrole ring (as an electron acceptor) as a bridge. With the help of the vinyl bridge structure, the donor (e.g., ortho, meta, p-fluorophenyl, styryl, acrylate, (R or S) 5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-p-cyanophenyl, (R or S) 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-p-cyanophenyl, etc.) pulls electrons from it. Therefore, through the same characterization and testing methods, other fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compounds with fixed donor structures can all produce narrow spectra with very narrow half-widths and high color purity fluorescence emission.
[0126] This application discloses a fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compound with a fixed donor structure. By using a vinyl bridge to connect the donor pyrene and carbazole to the α-position of the BODIPY core, two molecules with a fixed donor-acceptor conformation are prepared. This results in weaker CT properties, increased rigidity, and a strategy of intramolecular conformational interlocking to limit the loss of stretching or torsional vibrations, thereby improving the fluorescence quantum yield. Highly efficient NIR luminescence is achieved without sacrificing the FWHM, resulting in a narrow spectrum with a very narrow half-width and high color purity fluorescence emission. Furthermore, using this narrow-band emission fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compound with a fixed donor structure in the fabrication of OLED light-emitting devices allows for a more balanced carrier injection and transport, improving device performance. Therefore, this narrow-band emission fluoroboron pyrrole fluorescent compound with a fixed donor structure has significant application and economic value in luminescent materials, smart materials, display materials, and light-emitting devices. In particular, some compounds provide new ideas for the synthesis of photoluminescent polymer resins in engineering applications.
