ABSTRACTWe have fabricated phosphorescent light emitting devices using mixed ligand bisorthometalated Ir(III) complexes, chlorobis-(2-phenylpyridinato-N,C2')pyridineiridium(III) [Ir(Cl)(ppy)2(py)] and chlorobis-(2-phenylpyridinato-N,C2')triphenylphosphine iridium(III) [Ir(Cl)(ppy)2P(Ph)3] chlorobis-(2-phenylpyridinato-N,C2')tri-n-butylphosphine iridium(III) [Ir(Cl)(ppy)2P(n-Bu)3], where ppy is the orthometalating ligand. These complexes vary in their HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital), LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) and emissive states in accordance with the φ-accepting abilities of the non-orthometalating ligands. The lifetimes and EL spectrum of the devices were studied and compared.

Organic Photodetectors

: Thiophene derivatives, either "small molecules," oligomers or polymers, play a role of primary importance among organic semiconductors. Therefore they have numerous and different technological applications in the field of Organic Electronics. For this reason, thiophene-based materials are found in devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic solar cells (OSCs), organic photodetectors, and many others. Oligothiophenes and polythiophenes have in common excellent charge transport properties and synthetic procedures that are now well established. Furthermore, oligothiophenes do not possess the intrinsic disadvantages of polythiophenes, such as the lack of well-defined structures and the inevitable presence of impurities. Electrochemistry can give a significant contribution to the field of oligothiophenes not only by allowing the determination of the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels by the means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), but also rendering oligothiophenes syntheses more expeditious in comparison with the classical organic ones. This review outlines the application of electrochemistry techniques to the synthesis of oligothiophene derivatives.

Highly efficient, operationally stable, and pure-color organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are of considerable significance for developing practical wide-color-gamut displays. Further, we have demonstrated the feasibility of an efficient pure green phosphorescent OLED (PHOLED) by employing a narrow-band platinum complex and a top-emitting structure. The utilization of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) material as the phosphorescent host is expected to serve as a promising solution for obtaining operationally stable PHOLEDs with high color purity. However, the emission spectrum of the platinum complex in the TADF host exhibits a considerably broad emission spectrum. This study investigates the cause of the spectral change by evaluating the photoluminescence spectra of the platinum complex in various hosts exhibiting different molecular structures. The triazine unit in the host material was observed to result in exciplex formation between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the host and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the platinum complex. Therefore, the TADF material that sterically hinders the triazine unit is considered to be suitable to prevent both exciplex formation and spectral broadening.

ABSTRACTThe present communication proposes a mechanism for photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) quenching in aluminum(III) 8-hydroxyquinoline (Alq3) chelates. Our experiments indicate that in the presence of moisture, ligand exchange of 8-hydroxyquinoline with water can occur. At elevated temperatures, the liberated 8-hydroxyquinoline undergoes a condensation reaction in the presence of traces of oxygen, generating a dark, non-emissive polymeric compound. Spectroscopic and electrochemical methods were used to determine the band gap and energy levels (highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)) of this byproduct. Steady state PL experiments indicate that (0.5 to 1%) concentration of this byproduct, evenly dispersed in Alq3 films, results in dramatic PL quenching. Deliberate insertion of an approximately 50 Å thick film of this byproduct into the interface of a poly(p-phenylenevinylene)/Alq3 light emitting diode (LED) completely quenches the EL as well. Initial data suggest an energy transfer quenching mechanism.

The electronic structures and transition properties of three types of triangle MoS2 clusters, A (Mo edge passivated with two S atoms), B (Mo edge passivated with one S atom), and C (S edge) have been explored using quantum chemistry methods. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gap of B and C is larger than that of A, due to the absence of the dangling of edge S atoms. The frontier orbitals (FMOs) of A can be divided into two categories, edge states from S3p at the edge and hybrid states of Mo4d and S3p covering the whole cluster. Due to edge/corner states appearing in the FMOs of triangle MoS2 clusters, their absorption spectra show unique characteristics along with the edge structure and size.

AbstractOptical and photoelectric properties of modern photosensitive polymers are of great interest due to their prospects for photovoltaic applications. In particular, an investigation of absorption and photoconductivity edge of these materials could provide valuable information. For these purpose we applied the constant photocurrent method which has proved its efficiency for inorganic materials. PCDTBT and PTB7 polymers were used as objects for the study as well as their blends with a fullerene derivative PC71BM. The measurements by constant photocurrent method (CPM) show that formation of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) in the blends increases photoconductivity and results in a redshift of the photocurrent edge in the doped polymers compared with that in the neat polymers. Obtained from CPM data, spectral dependences of absorption coefficient were approximated using Gaussian distribution of density-of-states within HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) bands. The approximation procedure allowed us to evaluate rather optical than electrical bandgaps for the studied materials. Moreover, spectra of polymer:PC71BM blends were fitted well by the sum of two Gaussian peaks which reveal both the transitions within the polymer and the transitions involving charge transfer states at the donor-acceptor interface in the BHJ.

Realizou-se um estudo teórico-experimental sobre as estruturas cristalina e amorfa de niobato de lítio, para verificar a influência dos defeitos sobre as propriedades ópticas desse semicondutor. Filmes finos cristalinos de LiNbO3 (c-LN) e amorfo (a-LN) foram preparados pelo método dos precursores poliméricos, sendo caracterizados por difração de raios X e microscopia de força atômica. As propriedades ópticas foram estudadas por UV-Visível e espectroscopia Raman. Em particular, o filme amorfo apresentou luminescência, cuja posição do pico varia de acordo com o comprimento de onda de excitação. A diferença de energia entre os níveis HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) e LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) revela que o gap de banda da fase cristalina é maior que aquele exibido pela fase amorfa, em acordo com os dados experimentais de UV-visível. Observou-se o surgimento de novos níveis eletrônicos na região do gap de banda na estrutura amorfa, este fato pode explicar as propriedades ópticas particulares observadas sobre o filme amorfo.

AbstractThe oxidative polycondensation of 4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol (4-PIMP) with O2, H2O2, and NaOCl was studied in an aqueous alkaline medium between 50°C and 90°C. Oligo-4-[(pyridin-3-ylimino)methyl]phenol (O-4-PIMP) prepared was characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR, UV-VIS, size-exclusion chromatography, and elemental and thermal analyses techniques. At the optimum reaction conditions, the yield of O-4-PIMP was 18.9%, 39.4%, and 46.8% using H2O2, O2, and NaOCl oxidant, respectively. According to the TG analysis, the initial degradation temperature of O-4-PIMP was 218°C, which was by 50°C higher than that of 4-PIMP. Thermal analyses of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were carried out in N2 atmosphere at 15–1000°C. The highest occupied molecular orbital, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, and electrochemical energy gaps of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were determined from the onset potentials for n-doping and p-doping, respectively. Also, optical band gaps of 4-PIMP and O-4-PIMP were determined according to UV-VIS measurements.

Topological analyses of the electron density using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) have been carried out at the B3PW91/6-31g (d) theoretical level, on bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes derivatives 9-(4-(di (1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-methyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole (L) and its zinc(II) complexes: ZnLCl2 (1), ZnLBr2 (2) and ZnLI2 (3). The topological parameters derived from Bader theory were also analyzed; these are characteristics of Zn-bond critical points and also of ring critical points. The calculated structural parameters are the frontier molecular orbital energies highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), hardness (?), softness (S), the absolute electronegativity (?), the electrophilicity index (?) and the fractions of electrons transferred (?N) from ZnLX2 complexes to L. The numerous correlations and dependencies between energy terms of the Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory approach (SAPT), geometrical, topological and energetic parameters were detected and described.

Synthetic Routes

A novel solution-processed graphene-based material was synthesized by treating graphene oxide (GO) with 2,5,7-trinitro-9-oxo-fluorenone-4-carboxylic acid (TNF-COOH) moieties, via simple synthetic routes. The yielded molecule N-[(carbamoyl-GO)ethyl]-N’-[(carbamoyl)-(2,5,7-trinitro-9-oxo-fluorene)] (GO-TNF) was thoroughly characterized and it was shown that it presents favorable highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels to function as a bridge component between the polymeric donor poly({4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl}{3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl] thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl}) (PTB7) and the fullerene derivative acceptor [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric-acid-methylester (PC71BM). In this context, a GO-TNF based ink was prepared and directly incorporated within the binary photoactive layer, in different volume ratios (1-3% ratio to the blend), for the effective realization of inverted ternary organic solar cells (OSCs) of the structure ITO/PFN/PTB7:GO-TNF:PC71BM/MoO3/Al. The addition of 2% v/v GO-TNF ink led to a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.71% that was enhanced by ~13% as compared to the reference cell.
