Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of molecular structure and organic photoelectricity. Specifically, we design and synthesize a derivative containing a dibenzothiophene unit and its application. Summary of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of molecular structure and organic photoelectricity. Specifically, we design and synthesize a class of derivatives containing dibenzothiophene units and their applications.
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to develop new molecular structures and new materials for optoelectronic applications. According to literature reports, dibenzothiophene has high electrical conductivity, and the biphenyl skeleton connection can rotate, providing space for molecular conformation adjustment. The rod-shaped molecular geometry formed by the combination of the two tends to adopt an HB stacking arrangement. By introducing dibenzothiophene groups at different positions on the diphenylethylene core, three isomeric herringbone stacking structures were designed, which are considered to be ideal structures for achieving both high mobility and strong emission in organic semiconductors. Not only does it utilize the luminescent properties and multiple modification sites of dibenzothiophene, but it also cleverly regulates the molecular twist angle and intermolecular interaction through the SH bond between the sulfur atom and the hydrogen atoms of the adjacent molecules. By changing the molecular torsion angle, the intermolecular interaction and π-π staking can be effectively reduced, thereby exhibiting different photophysical and photochemical properties. This design strategy provides a new approach for achieving organic semiconductors with high mobility and strong luminescence.
[0004] The present invention relates to the fields of molecular structure and organic optoelectronics. Specifically, we designed and synthesized a class of derivatives containing dibenzothiophene units and their applications. First, we purchased 4,4'-bis(diethoxyphosphonomethyl)biphenyl powder and dry NaH powder. Then, using ultra-dry tetrahydrofuran as the solvent, the mixture was stirred in an ice-water bath for 1 hour. Next, dibenzothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, dibenzothiophene-3-carboxaldehyde, and dibenzothiophene-4-carboxaldehyde solid powders were dissolved in ultra-dry tetrahydrofuran and added to the respective reactions using a syringe. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, and deionized water was added to quench the reaction. The resulting suspension was filtered under negative pressure, and the solid product was repeatedly washed with ethanol and dichloromethane. After drying, the final products, 2-DBTVB, 3-DBTVB, and 4-DBTVB powders, were obtained. The correctness of our compound synthesis was confirmed by mass spectrometry, single crystal analysis, and other means, and the correctness of our dibenzothiophene unit-containing isomers was also confirmed.
[0005] Through testing, we can see that by introducing dibenzothiophene groups at different positions on the diphenylethylene core, this type of compound exhibits different properties, including the shift of absorption and emission peaks. For example, the absorption and emission spectra show that the absorption peak wavelengths of 3-DBTVB and 4-DBTVB tetrahydrofuran dilute solutions are located at 373nm and 360nm, respectively, and the emission peak wavelengths are located at 424nm, 450nm and 421nm, 442nm; the absorption peaks of solid-state single crystals are located at 381nm and 378nm, and the emission peaks are located at 478nm and 513nm. Therefore, it is particularly important to study its internal mechanism, and it is also a topic for our future research. Furthermore, the laser threshold changes at different access sites, from 4.77μJ / cm3 for 3-DBTVB to 4.77μJ / cm4 for 4-DBTVB. 2 to 7.29 μJ / cm for 4-DBTVB 2 . At the same time, this type of compound has a very high fluorescence quantum yield and shows strong luminescence in both solution and solid state, indicating that the three molecules are densely packed and do not cause fluorescence quenching. This type of compound has a simple synthesis step and can be quickly synthesized in large quantities, providing conditions for subsequent research. At the same time, this type of compound has the property of laser gain and can be used as an excellent laser medium. At the same time, through single crystal analysis tests, it can be seen that this type of compound is all herringbone stacked. By analyzing and calculating the CH-π and π-π spacing and the SH interaction between S atoms and H atoms between adjacent molecules, the effects of herringbone stacking and changes in the connection sites of dibenzothiophene groups on mobility and fluorescence quantum yield are more effectively analyzed, proving that this type of molecule is a very good class of optoelectronic organic semiconductor materials.

The objectives and other advantages of the present invention can be achieved and obtained through the structures specifically pointed out in the description, claims and drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Figure 1This is the reaction formula for the synthesis of dibenzothiophene derivatives in Example 1 of the present invention. 400 mg, 0.88 mmol of 4,4'-bis(diethoxyphosphonomethyl)biphenyl and a small amount of NaH were weighed on an analytical balance and placed in a reaction flask. 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent was added and dissolved and activated in an ice-water bath under N2 protection for 1 hour. Then, 374 mg, 1.76 mmol of dibenzothiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, dibenzothiophene-3-carboxaldehyde, and dibenzothiophene-4-carboxaldehyde in THF were quickly injected into each reaction mixture, and the entire reaction process was carried out at room temperature. After stirring overnight, water was added to quench the reaction. The product has low solubility in most organic solvents. After multiple washings, purification by suction filtration, and purification twice by sublimation in a tubular furnace, 2-DBTVB, 3-DBTVB, and 4-DBTVB powders were obtained, respectively, and the product was synthesized cumulatively.
[0009] Figure 2 The second embodiment of the present invention is Figure 1 Three different dibenzothiophene group derivatives were obtained by changing different connection sites, and their molecular formulas are listed in the figure.
[0010] Figure 3 The single crystal images of 2-DBTVB, 3-DBTVB, and 4-DBTVB of Example 3 of the present invention are shown in Figure 1. It can be seen that these compounds all have herringbone stacking.
[0011] Figure 4 The absorption and emission spectra of 2-DBTVB, 3-DBTVB, and 4-DBTVB in tetrahydrofuran solution and solid state, respectively, are shown in Figure 4. As can be seen, the absorption and emission spectra shift with changes in the attachment sites of dibenzothiophene and the bisphenylethylene group, exhibiting significant differences, reflecting the influence of molecular arrangement and π-π stacking.

Under excitation by a 400nm femtosecond laser, laser emission can be achieved at the crystal edge. The laser wavelengths are 471nm, 481nm, and 485nm, and the laser thresholds are 5.21, 4.77, and 7.29μJ / cm², respectively. This demonstrates excellent gain properties.

[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Figure 1400 mg (0.88 mmol) of 4,4'-bis(diethoxyphosphonomethyl)biphenyl and a small amount of NaH were weighed on an analytical balance and placed in a reaction flask. 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was added and the mixture was dissolved and activated in an ice-water bath under N2 protection for 1 hour.

It can be seen that as the attachment sites of dibenzothiophene and the distyryl group change, both the absorption and emission spectra shift, exhibiting significant differences. The absorption peak wavelengths for dilute tetrahydrofuran solutions of 2-DBTVB, 3-DBTVB, and 4-DBTVB are located at 367nm, 373nm, and 360nm, respectively, while the emission peak wavelengths are located at 422 and 442nm, 424 and 450nm, and 421 and 442nm, respectively.
