Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) were studied in pyrene derivatives using time-resolved spectroscopy. The fluorescence behavior, including fluorescence intensity, was found to be solvent-dependent and can be modulated through structural modifications.
Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) plays a critical role in determining the photophysical properties of organic molecules, including their luminescence efficiencies. Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) is a process in which structural change accompanies ICT. Herein, we used time-resolved spectroscopy to study TICT in pyrene derivatives that are promising blue organic light emitting diode (OLED) emitter candidates; these derivatives show strong solvent-dependent charge-transfer (CT) behavior with unique fluorescence properties, increased fluorescence intensity in polar solvent. Slight structural changes that do not affect excited state dynamics were observed in nonpolar solvents, while polar solvents were found to affect excited state dynamics and CT characteristics, which affect their unusual fluorescence behavior. The TICT behavior of these pyrene derivatives can be modulated through structural modification. Our study provides valuable guidelines for the control of optical properties, including the luminescence efficiencies of OLED emitters that show TICT characteristics.
