AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing organic light-emitting single radical materials have shortcomings in terms of air stability and high-efficiency light-emitting performance.

Benefits of technology

It achieves high efficiency luminescence and air stability of allyl luminescent radical materials, with a fluorescence quantum yield of 11.7%, a spectral tuning range of 700-1100 nm, and a half-life of 5.2-27.5 days under natural light. It is suitable for high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes, electrochromic devices, and photodynamic therapy probes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of luminescent materials technology, and in particular to an allyl luminescent free radical material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Organic radical luminescent materials, with their unique open-shell electronic structure and photophysical properties, have shown promising applications in high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), electrochromic devices, molecular-level quantum information technology carriers, and precise photodynamic therapy probes. However, the structural diversity of organic luminescent single-radical systems remains insufficient, with reported systems mainly focusing on the following categories: TTM / PTM type radicals, anthracene derivatives, and biscarbazole-substituted triarylmethyl derivatives. Developing and preparing novel single-radical luminescent cores remains a pressing issue in this field.

[0003] Among the reported organic light-emitting single-radical materials, TTM and PTM-type radicals have been successfully used in the fabrication and application of OLED devices due to their significant photophysical performance advantages—especially their high fluorescence quantum yield. For example, in 2018, Li Feng's team, in collaboration with RHFriend's research group, experimentally demonstrated that single-radical materials can achieve an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) close to 100%. By changing the carbazole bonding mode of TTM derivatives, the EQE of their OLEDs can reach 27% and 17%, respectively. T. Kusamoto's team developed a series of pyridine-containing methyl radicals, PyBTM, bis-PyTM, and trisPyM. Compared to TTM radicals, the introduction of pyridine gives these compounds a lower energy level, thus exhibiting superior air stability. He Zikai's team reported a bis-carbazole-substituted triarylmethyl radical, which exhibited rare near-infrared emission (1020 nm), but its fluorescence yield was too low to be detected. Li Zhen's group, in collaboration with Wu Jishan's and Li Feng's teams, reported a series of stable xanthracene monoradicals. These radical compounds exhibit good photostability and near-infrared fluorescence. Their OLED devices can achieve an IQE of nearly 81%, further demonstrating the potential of radical materials in the OLED field. Therefore, how to prepare novel air-stable radical units through molecular design, and then construct radical luminescent materials with both high-efficiency luminescence and spectrally tunable properties, has become a key scientific problem urgently needing breakthroughs in this field.

[0004] Introducing donor-acceptor structures containing non-alternating aromatic compounds, regulating the symmetry of molecular orbitals, and non-bonded connections between donor-acceptor units are crucial for constructing radical luminescent systems that combine high quantum efficiency with excellent stability. Allyl radicals, as a class of open-shell π-system molecules with unique three centers and three electrons, have attracted much attention due to their excellent air stability. However, the delocalization of their unpaired electrons and low-energy excited states cause their energy to be released through non-radiative transitions, resulting in allyl radicals not emitting light.

[0096] Depend on Figure 1 (In the figure, ARS-TPA(j), ARS-Ph(a), and ARC-Ph(l) represent ARS-TPA(j) in Example 1, ARS-Ph(a) in Example 2, and ARS-Ph(l) in Example 3, respectively.) It can be seen that the allyl luminescent radical material exhibits two obvious absorption peaks at 350 nm and 410 nm, and shows a long absorption band characteristic of radicals near 620 nm. After the introduction of donor groups, ARS-TPA shows significantly enhanced absorption, with a maximum absorption wavelength of 770 nm. Its emission spectrum is in the near-infrared region, with a maximum emission wavelength of 843 nm and a half-width of only 50 nm, which is the narrowest among carbon radicals discovered in the near-infrared region.
