Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic light-emitting materials technology, specifically relating to a near-infrared organic free radical afterglow material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to inorganic light-emitting materials, organic light-emitting materials can have their luminescence properties (lifetime, color modulation, and luminescence intensity) modified through molecular structure design. They offer more convenient synthesis strategies, broader application prospects, and better environmental friendliness, effectively addressing the resource scarcity and environmental pollution issues associated with inorganic light-emitting materials (most inorganic materials require the introduction of rare metal elements). Currently, organic light-emitting materials show broad application prospects in electroluminescence, organic lasers, sensors, and bioimaging.

[0003] Among organic light-emitting materials, those emitting red light possess excellent tissue penetration and anti-interference capabilities, making them particularly important for fields such as bioimaging in extreme environments, information encryption technology, and information storage, and thus holding significant research value. Currently, the main luminescence mechanisms of red-emitting materials are fluorescence induced by excitation of a singlet state and phosphorescence induced by excitation of a triplet state. Developing a class of radical luminescent materials capable of achieving red afterglow emission in different states remains a challenging problem. Studies have shown that organic quaternary phosphine salts have good water solubility. In recent years, researchers have also constructed many long-afterglow organic quaternary phosphine salt materials by introducing π-conjugated groups such as benzene rings and carbazole to regulate the luminescence range. These studies provide new insights into the design and regulation of red fluorescence and red afterglow of quaternary phosphine salts. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a near-infrared organic free radical afterglow material, its preparation method, and its application.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a near-infrared organic free radical afterglow material, with the general structural formula being:

[0009] They respectively constitute aryl quaternary phosphine salt derivatives TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br.

[0010] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned near-infrared organic free radical afterglow material, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1. Synthesis of compound TPP-o-3OMe-NH2-Br: Tris(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphine and 2-bromoethylamine hydrobromide were added to a reaction flask, dissolved in CH3CH2CN, and stirred under reflux overnight. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. Ultrapure water was added to the obtained solid powder and NaOH was added to adjust the pH.

[0012] S2. The compounds TPP-o-3OMe-NH2-Br, 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) from S1 were mixed and added to a reaction flask. After vacuum drying, ethanol solution was added under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred and refluxed. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed by vacuum drying. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the yellow solid compound TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br.

[0013] S3. Compounds TPP-o-3OMe-NH2-Br, 4-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine from S1 were mixed and added to a reaction flask. After vacuum drying, 20 mL of dry ethanol solution was added under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred and refluxed. After the reaction was completed, the solvent was removed by vacuum drying. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain an orange-yellow solid compound TPP-o-3OMe-NH2-Br.

[0014] Preferably, the molar ratio of compound TPP-o-3OMe-NH2-Br, compound 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine in S2 is 3.12:3.4:3.4.

[0015] Preferably, the molar ratio of compound TPP-o-3OMe-NH2-Br, compound 4-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine in S3 is 1:1.1:1.1.

[0016] Preferably, the synthesis method of compound 4-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride in S3 is as follows: 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride is dissolved in isoamyl alcohol, heated to reflux in an oil bath, and then 3-dimethylaminopropionitrile is added to the mixture and refluxed overnight. The precipitate is filtered at room temperature, washed with water and hexane, and dried under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow solid powder of 4-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride (NNI).

[0017] Preferably, the molar ratio of 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride to 3-dimethylaminopropionitrile is 1:4.

[0018] Thirdly, the present invention provides applications of the above-mentioned near-infrared organic free radical afterglow material for the preparation of at least one of semiconductor electronic devices, bioimaging, and spin materials.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] This invention, based on the compound molecule TPP-o-3OMe-NH2-Br, introduces electron-pulling groups 6-(dimethylamino)naphthaleneimide (NNI) and 6-bromonaphthaleneimide (NBI) to design and synthesize the molecules TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br. Doping TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br with the polymer PMMA resulted in long afterglow emission characteristics with different photoactivation times. The photoactivation time of the afterglow of the TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA film was significantly shortened, while the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film successfully achieved red afterglow emission. Finally, combining the luminescent properties of the two films, applications for multicolor display and storage of optical information were developed. These materials are expected to provide new ideas for the development of organic free radical luminescent materials and multi-layered information encryption applications. Attached Figure Description

[0058] The purity of the compound was verified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (with pure methanol as the mobile phase). Figure 1 As shown, the high performance liquid chromatography of TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br showed only one peak signal in each ultraviolet absorption band, indicating that the compounds TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br have high purity and the influence of impurities on their long afterglow emission is almost negligible.

[0059] Single crystal structure analysis:

[0060] Compound TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br was slowly evaporated from a mixed solution of ethyl acetate / dichloromethane to yield orange-yellow fluorescent crystals (OC), and from a mixed solvent of n-hexane / methanol / dichloromethane to yield yellow fluorescent crystals (YC). Crystallographic data indicate that OC has a monoclinic crystal system with space group C1 2 / c 1, while YC has an orthorhombic crystal system with space group P bc a. The unit cell of OC contains 7 molecules, and the unit cell of YC contains 5 molecules, where YC(ρ

[0061] = 1.442 g.cm -3 ) compared to OC (ρ=1.427g.cm -3 The arrangement is more compact, and the volume is smaller. Compare The volume is larger (Table 1). The molecular crystal of compound TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br was obtained by slow solvent evaporation (ethyl acetate / dichloromethane) and showed no fluorescence emission at room temperature. Crystallographic data indicated that the crystal system was triclinic with space group P-1 and only two molecules in the unit cell.

[0062] Table 1 Crystal data for TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br

[0063]

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, we analyzed the fluorescence color crystal data of two types of TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecules. For the monomer, using the NNI group as the reference plane, we found that almost all the dimethylamino atoms in the OC crystal are coplanar with the NNI group, while the plane formed by the NN-2-methyl group in the YC crystal is almost perpendicular to the NNI plane. This results in a higher charge transport efficiency for the OC crystal when the molecule is excited, which can effectively enhance the fluorescence enhancement caused by the π···π interaction formed by crystal stacking. Therefore, we analyzed the interaction between the two crystal dimers. Compared to YC crystals It has a stronger CH...O effect, and compared to YC ) crystal, OC crystal The greater π···π overlap, and the coplanarity of dimethylamino and NNI in the OC crystal greatly enhances the transfer of π conjugated electrons, resulting in a redshift in crystal luminescence.

[0065] To further analyze the differences in chemical bonding between the two crystals, we performed Hirschfeld surface analysis calculations on the monomer molecules of both crystals, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in OC crystal, the interactions are mainly dominated by six types: H···H (54.5%), C···H (19.2%), H···Br (10.5%), H···O (8.0%), C···C (1.2%), and C···O (1.0%). In YC crystal, H···H (54.5%) is similar to that in OC, C···H (12.4%) is weakened by 6.4%, H···Br (12.4%) is strengthened by 1.9%, and H···O (5.6%) is weakened by 2.4%. This indicates that in the crystal stacking structure, OC crystal possesses stronger weak interactions.

[0066] Characterization of photophysical properties:

[0067] The photophysical properties of TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br in solid and solution states were systematically studied. For example... Figure 4 As shown, both TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecules exhibit good thermal stability, and the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecule shows an ultraviolet absorption of 500 nm in the solid state, indicating that the introduction of electron-donating groups may enable the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecule to possess better intramolecular charge transfer. Single-crystal powder diffraction reveals that both solid powders maintain good crystal structure.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br solid powder exhibits red fluorescence emission (650nm) under a 365nm UV lamp, while the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecule exhibits bright yellow fluorescence emission (580nm). Unfortunately, the TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br molecule does not exhibit long-persistent emission at room temperature, nor can it be detected by instruments. Although the two crystals of the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecule do not exhibit persistent emission to the naked eye, they do show a persistent emission signal at 680nm when detected by instruments.

[0069] Photoactivated long afterglow properties:

[0070] To obtain a long, red afterglow emission visible to the naked eye at room temperature, TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecules were doped into PMMA at a mass ratio of 0.5%, resulting in two photoactivated long afterglow materials, TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA films. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on the obtained films, such as... Figure 6 As shown, both doped polymers exhibit good thermal stability. UV absorption was performed on the TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA films. Both films showed broad absorption bands, providing a basis for the selection of excitation light sources. Furthermore, both doped systems maintained a well-defined amorphous structure.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, the TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA film exhibits three emission peaks before activation, at 420 nm, 570 nm, and 610 nm. After activation, the emission peak intensities at 570 nm and 610 nm increase, while the intensity of the emission peak at 420 nm decreases. This causes the fluorescence color of the TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA film to change from purple to pink under visual observation before and after photoactivation. In the steady-state spectrum after a delay of 0.1 ms, no fluorescence peak at 420 nm was detected before or after activation. Moreover, unlike the TPP-o-3OMe-NMI-Br@PMMA film in Chapter 3, although no afterglow emission was observed visually before photoactivation, the afterglow emission signal could be detected by instruments. This is because the introduction of the heavy atom bromine enhances spin-orbit coupling and improves the intersystem crossing efficiency (ISC) from the singlet to the triplet state.

[0072] The luminescence phenomenon of the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film differs from that of the previous doped systems, such as... Figure 8 The introduction of dimethylamino groups enabled the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film to successfully achieve red afterglow emission. By analyzing the transient and steady-state spectra before and after activation, we found that the fluorescence of the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film also weakened after activation, indicating that a similar luminescence mechanism may exist during the activation process of the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film.

[0073] like Figure 9As shown, TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br were dissolved in dimethyltetrahydrofuran at extremely low concentrations (0.001 mM), and their transient / steady-state spectra at 77 K were detected. The spectroscopic data showed that both TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br exhibited persistent emission at 450 nm, with lifetimes of 0.95 ms and 0.86 ms, respectively. These results indicate that the long persistent emission at room temperature of TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA does not originate from the monomer molecules of TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br, which is consistent with the conclusions of our previous two chapters.

[0074] To further verify whether the luminescence mechanism is consistent with the previous study, we used the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br molecule as an example (because its afterglow emission is red) to detect the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum of oxygen vacancies and the singlet oxygen EPR spectrum of the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film. Before activation, no signal was detected. After 30 s of activation, the EPR signal of singlet oxygen was significantly enhanced, indicating that TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA can also convert triplet oxygen into singlet oxygen during photoactivation. During the 30 s of UV lamp activation, the oxygen diffused into the PMMA film was consumed, and the quenching effect of triplet oxygen on triplet excitons was weakened, thereby releasing triplet excitons.

[0075] At the same time, oxygen vacancy radicals (such as...) were successfully detected 30 seconds after activation. Figure 10 Furthermore, the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA molecule exhibits strong absorption at 420 nm, which largely overlaps with the phosphorescence peak of its monomer molecule at low temperature (450 nm), indicating that phosphorescent energy transfer (PRET) can be formed between the monomer triplet state and the radical doublet state.

[0076] like Figure 10 As shown, TD-DF calculations of the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br monomer and dimer revealed that the emission peak around 650 nm in the long-afterglow emission spectrum is close to the emission band generated during the radical doublet state D8→D0 (f=0.036) transition, while the emission peak at 570 nm is similar to the emission band generated during the dimer's D1 triplet state T2→S0 (f=0.036).<T2|HSO|S0> =0.8717cm -1The close proximity indicates that the organic long afterglow originates from the synergistic effect of the radical doublet and the dimer triplet states. Therefore, combining experiments and theoretical calculations, we have successfully obtained a red organic long afterglow material with the synergistic effect of triplet and doublet states.

[0077] Optical information anti-counterfeiting applications:

[0078] like Figure 11 As shown in Figure 4-14, a photoluminescent anti-counterfeiting material with photoactivation time-dependent fluorescence change and long afterglow characteristics of TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA and TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA films was successfully prepared. Figure 4-14 illustrates a multi-color emitting flower pattern. A 0.5% doping ratio TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film was used as petals, a 0.5% doping ratio TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA film as leaves, and a 1.0% doping ratio TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA film as branches. Before photoactivation, the petals were green, the leaves were blue, and the branches were purple. After photoactivation, the leaves remained purple, while the branches turned pink, and the petal fluorescence remained unchanged. After the UV lamp was turned off, a long-afterglow flower with yellow branches and leaves and red petals was revealed. The multi-colored luminescence exhibits excellent optical anti-counterfeiting capabilities.

[0079] In summary, the introduction of NBI molecules enables the detection of afterglow signals in the TPP-o-3OMe-NBI-Br@PMMA film before photoactivation, due to the enhanced intramolecular charge transfer (ISC) resulting from the introduction of heavy atoms. The introduction of NNI molecules enhances intramolecular charge transfer capabilities, enabling the TPP-o-3OMe-NNI-Br@PMMA film to successfully achieve red afterglow emission. Thus, through molecular structure design, two radical luminescent materials achieving red afterglow emission under different environmental conditions have been successfully obtained. These molecules have broad application prospects in fields such as optical anti-counterfeiting and information encryption under extreme conditions.
