Novel pi-conjugated donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type compounds BPI-PhPXZ and BPI-PhDMAC show promising aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties, with high external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) achieved in doped OLEDs. The well-designed BPI acceptor plays a beneficial role in the development of efficient D-A-D type TADF emitters with AIE properties.
pi-Conjugated arylene diimide derivatives as a kind of well-known organic dyes have been widely used as building blocks for constructing n-type semiconductors. However, the large pi-framework faded their solid-state emission, which hinders their application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Herein, two novel pi-conjugated donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type compounds BPI-PhPXZ and BPI-PhDMAC, composed of twisted biphenyl-diimide (BPI) acceptors and phenoxazine or acridine donors are synthesized. BPI-PhPXZ and BPI-PhDMAC show prominent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), and enjoy good thermal and electrochemical stabilities. Doped OLEDs fabricated with the two compounds have achieved high external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of 18.1% and 16.2%, respectively. The results highlight the beneficial role of well-designed BPI acceptor for the development of efficient D-A-D type TADF emitters with AIE properties.
