Abstract

A new series of multifunctional compounds displaying thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) have been developed, and their optical properties investigated. The materials are based on a twisted donor–acceptor (D–A) motif using acenaphtopyridopyrazine as the acceptor core, and various donors are used for tuning their photophysical behaviour. Time-resolved spectroscopy analysis using different matrices gives a detailed image of their photophysical properties. Solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using the new compounds as emitters gave high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of up to 15.3% in the CBP matrix. The triplet excited state of the new emitters poses an opportunity for the photochemical formation of singlet oxygen (1O2) species in solution. We demonstrate that the efficiency of 1O2 generation correlates with the ΔEST and triplet decay lifetime. The maximum 1O2 quantum efficiency obtained is ∼48% for NQPy-CBZ.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry C are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Bioelectronics Conductors Detectors Dielectrics Displays Ferroelectrics Lasers LEDs Lighting Liquid crystals Memory Metamaterials Multiferroics Photonics Photovoltaics Semiconductors Sensors Single molecule conductors Spintronics Superconductors Thermoelectrics Topological insulators Transistors
