[0053] Traditional thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials usually rely on the design of donor-acceptor (D-A) molecular structures. Although they can reduce the singlet-triplet energy gap, they often face the problem of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) of fluorescence, and the luminescence efficiency is significantly reduced at high concentrations or in the solid state. In addition, the excited-state dynamics of most TADF materials are limited by the slow reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process, resulting in serious efficiency roll-off of the device, which limits their practical applications.

[0106] where x is

[0107] The preparation method of the luminescent material 2 is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that:

[0108] S-pipecolic acid is used to replace R-pipecolic acid in Example 1. [[ID=…]]

[0109] Example 3:

[0110] A multi-sulfur aromatic hydrocarbon thermally activated delayed fluorescence compound has the same structure as the luminescent material 1 in Example 1 and the preparation method is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that:

[0111] In the preparation process of the tetrasubstituted benzene in Example 3, 2 mmol of hexachlorobenzene and 12 mmol of p-fluorothiophenol were weighed and added to a DMF solvent, and at the same time 15 mmol of K2CO3 was added, and the reaction was carried out at 60 °C for 12 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere;

[0112] In the condensation reaction of Example 3, 8 mmol of the first intermediate product and 1 mmol of the tetrasubstituted benzene were added to 5 mL of a DMF solvent, and at the same time 8 mmol of O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 12 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0113] Effect Example 1:

[0114] 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum analysis was performed on the luminescent material 1 of Example 1 and the luminescent material 2 of Example 2, and Figure 2 and Figure 3 were obtained. Figure 2 is the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the luminescent material 1 of Example 1 of this application, Figure 3 is the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the luminescent material 2 of Example 2 of this application.

[0115] As Figure 2 shown, the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data of the luminescent material 1 are as follows, which conform to the characteristics of the target compound:

[0116] 1H NMR(500MHz,DMSO-d6)δ9.92(s,4H),7.81–7.74(m,8H),7.62(d,J=8.4Hz,8H),7.53–7.40(m,16H),7.29(tt,J=7.8,2.2Hz,8H),7.22–7.08(m,24H),7.00(dd,J=18.4,9.0Hz,8H),6.89(dd,J=23.7,8.2Hz,8H),3.78(s,4H),3.02–2.90(m,5H),2.72(s,4H),1.91(s,4H),1.72–1.52(m,9H),1.39(s,6H).

[0117] As Figure 3 shown, the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum data of the luminescent material 2 are as follows, which conform to the characteristics of the target compound:

[0118] 1H NMR(500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.91 (s, 4H), 7.81–7.74 (m, 8H), 7.62 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 8H), 7.55–7.39 (m, 16H), 7.28 (td, J = 7.7, 1.6 Hz, 8H), 7.24–7.05 (m, 25H), 6.95 (dd, J = 34.5, 8.7 Hz, 17H), 4.02 (d, J = 13.0 Hz, 4H), 3.77 (d, J = 12.1 Hz, 4H), 2.96 (t, J = 12.1 Hz, 4H), 2.71 (d, J = 12.6 Hz, 4H), 1.90 (s, 4H), 1.72–1.34 (m, 13H).

[0119] Effect Example 2:

[0120] The luminescent material 1 of Example 1 was selected and dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to prepare a mother liquor of 10 -3 M, and then the mother liquor was diluted with a THF / water mixed solvent with different water phase volume fractions to obtain a test solution with a concentration of 10 -3 M to test the fluorescence emission intensity of the luminescent material 1 in the aggregated state. Among them, the water phase volume fractions in the THF / water mixed solvent were 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 95% respectively. The test solution was placed in a fluorescence cuvette, and its fluorescence emission behavior was observed under 365 nm laser excitation to obtain Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is the fluorescence spectrum diagram in Effect Example 2 of this application.

[0121] As Figure 4 shown, during the process of the water phase volume fraction gradually increasing from 0% to 50%, the fluorescence emission intensity of the luminescent material 1 gradually decreased. This is mainly because at low water phase ratios, the material is in a dissolved state. As the water phase increases, the solvent polarity increases, resulting in fluorescence quenching. However, as the water phase volume fraction gradually increases from 60%, the fluorescence emission intensity of the luminescent material 1 significantly increases, and the fluorescence intensity reaches the maximum value when the water phase volume fraction reaches 95%. This is mainly because when the water phase exceeds 60%, the solubility of the material drops sharply, resulting in the transformation of molecules from the dissolved state to the aggregated state, and the luminescent material 1 begins to show the effect of aggregation-induced emission enhancement.

[0122] At the same time, the luminescence photos of the test solutions with water phase volume fractions of 0%, 30%, 60%, and 90% are as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 which is the fluorescence luminescence photo in Effect Example 2 of this application.( Figure 5 Fluorescence is difficult to distinguish after grayscale processing)

[0123] AsFigure 5 As shown, with the increase of the volume fraction of the aqueous phase, the fluorescence emission intensity of the luminescent material 1 increases significantly.

[0124] From the above experiments, it can be seen that the polythiophene thermally activated delayed fluorescence compound of Example 1 exhibits a significant aggregation-induced emission enhancement effect.

[0125] Effect Example 3:

[0126] The luminescent material 1 of Example 1 was selected and dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to prepare a 10 -5 M test solution, and the emission lifetime intensity of the test solution was measured under different temperature conditions to obtain Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is the fluorescence lifetime spectrogram in Effect Example 3 of this application.

[0127] As Figure 6 shown, with the increase of temperature, the emission lifetime intensity of the luminescent material 1 gradually increases, and the emission lifetime intensity of the luminescent material 1 shows an obvious increasing trend with the increase of temperature.
