Abstract [eng] |
Using the newly designed exciplex-forming 1,2,3-triazole-based acceptors with fast and efficient singlet → triplet intersystem crossing (ISC) processes, carbazole and benzoyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were synthesized by Dimroth-type 1,2,3-triazole ring formation and Ullmann-Goldberg C-N coupling reactions. Due to the exciplex formation between covalently bonded electron-donating (carbazole) and 1,2,3-triazole-based electron-accepting moieties with small singlet-triplet splitting (0.07-0.13 eV), the compounds exhibited ISC-assisted bluish-green thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The compounds were characterized by high triplet energy levels ranging from 2.93 to 2.98 eV. The most efficient exciplex-type thermally activated delayed fluorescence was observed for ortho-substituted carbazole-benzoyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole which was selected as a host in the structure of efficient solution-processed white light-emitting diodes. The best device exhibited a maximum power efficiency of 10.7 lm/W, current efficiency of 18.4 cd/A, and quantum efficiency of 7.1%. This device also showed the highest brightness exceeding 10 thousand cd/m2. Usage of the exciplex-forming host allowed us to achieve a low turn-on voltage of 3.6 V. High-quality white electroluminescence was obtained with the close to nature white color coordinates (0.31, 0.34) and a color rendering index of 92. |
