Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of luminescent materials technology, specifically to a fluorene-based deep red luminescent material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Deep red luminescent materials, due to their long-wavelength emission characteristics, have significant application value in fields such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solid-state lighting, fluorescence imaging, and laser displays. Currently reported deep red luminescent materials mainly include small organic molecule fluorescent materials, metal complex materials, and polymer materials. However, metal complex materials are costly and highly toxic, limiting their application in the biological field; polymer materials suffer from low luminescent color purity and complex processing techniques; and most small organic molecule materials exhibit low luminescent efficiency, poor thermal stability, and poor color purity, making it difficult for existing deep red luminescent materials to meet practical application requirements.

[0003] Fluorenyl compounds, represented by 9,9-diphenylfluorene and 9,9'-spirodifluorene, possess wide band gaps and rigid planar (e.g., 9,9-diphenylfluorene) or three-dimensional orthorhombic spirocyclic (e.g., 9,9'-spirodifluorene) structures, providing efficient carrier transport channels and effectively suppressing intermolecular π-π stacking, significantly reducing luminescence quenching and thus improving material stability. Currently, these fluorenyl compounds have demonstrated excellent performance in the blue-green and deep blue light regions. Achieving a redshift of the emission spectrum of fluorenyl materials to the deep red region through molecular design, while maintaining good stability, is a core challenge and important research direction in this field. This invention relates to a deep red luminescent fluorenyl compound, which possesses excellent luminescent properties, good thermal stability, low-cost scaffold raw materials, and a simple synthesis procedure, providing a new approach for designing and synthesizing novel fluorenyl deep red materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fluorene-based deep red luminescent material with excellent deep red luminescence properties and good thermal stability, as well as a simple and economical method for preparing the fluorene-based deep red luminescent material.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention provides a fluorene-based deep red luminescent material, the general structural formula of which is shown in Formula I:

[0007] ;

[0008] Wherein, R is 9,9-diphenylfluorene or 9,9'-spirodifluorene, as shown in the following structural formula:

[0009] or .

[0010] This invention also provides a method for preparing a fluorene-based deep red luminescent material, comprising the following steps:

[0011] (1) 2-bromo-6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentabenzene and 2-(9,9-diphenyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborane were coupled to obtain [(2-(9,9-diphenyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)pentabenzene-6,13-diyl)bis(ethynyl-2,1-diyl)]bis(triisopropylsilane), abbreviated as 2-DTIPSPcDPF:

[0012] ;

[0013] In step (1), the 2-bromo-6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentabenzene has the following structural formula:

[0014] ;

[0015] In step (1), the structural formula of 2-(9,9-diphenyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborane is as follows:

[0016] ;

[0017] The reaction route for step (1) is shown in equation II-1:

[0018] ;

[0019] (2) 2-bromo-6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentabenzene and 2-(9,9'-spirobis[fluorene]-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborane were coupled to obtain [(2-(9,9'-spirobis[fluorene]-2-yl)pentabenzene-6,13-diyl)bis(ethynyl-2,1-diyl)]bis(triisopropylsilane), abbreviated as 2-DTIPSPcSBF:

[0020] ;

[0021] In step (2), the structural formula of 2-(9,9'-spirobis[fluorene]-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborane is as follows:

[0022] ;

[0023] The reaction route for step (2) is shown in equation II-2:

[0024] .

[0025] Preferably, steps (1) and (2) are both Suzuki coupling reactions; the catalyst is 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene palladium dichloride; the reaction is carried out in an organic solvent and water under light-protected and alkaline conditions, and then heated to obtain the product.

[0026] Preferably, the alkaline conditions are anhydrous potassium carbonate, the organic solvent is deoxygenated tetrahydrofuran, the heating temperature is 60-64°C, and the reaction time is 20-24 h.

[0027] Preferably, the volume ratio of the organic solvent to water is 4.5 to 5.5:1.

[0029] The design principle of this invention is to connect 9,9-diphenylfluorene, 9,9'-spirodifluorene and pentaphenyl groups to expand the conjugated system and reduce the band gap; the rigidity of the fluorene group and the spirocyclic structure inhibit the π-π stacking of molecules; so that the emission spectrum of the material is red-shifted to the deep red region, while retaining the efficient carrier transport capability of the fluorene group, reducing emission quenching and improving the stability of the material.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: the compound possesses excellent photoelectric properties, good thermal stability, and high color purity; the raw materials are readily available, the synthesis route is simple, and it is suitable for large-scale preparation. This strategy of achieving deep red luminescence through structural modulation based on the classic blue-green light framework provides a new direction for developing efficient, stable, and low-cost deep red luminescent materials, which can be applied to organic electroluminescent devices and fluorescence sensors.
