Description

Europium-doped macrocyclic complex and application thereof as electroluminescent material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electroluminescent materials. In particular to a europium-doped macrocyclic complex and application thereof as an electroluminescent material.
Background
The 5d-4f transition of lanthanides (Ln) has been studied for decades in the mechanism of luminescence and in potential applications in various fields. For lanthanide ion luminescence, only the f-f transition is observed under normal ambient conditions, while the 5d-4f transition is generally absent, since it is shifted from 4fn-15d1To 4fnQuenching by rapid intersystem crossing. Among the divalent lanthanides, the 5d-4f transition is more prominent due to its spin-permitting property and stability of the 5d orbital.
In all Ln2+In ion, Eu2+The ions show strong 5d-4f transitions and good utility for two reasons: (1)5d energy is close to or lower than 6P7/2Multiphoton relaxation is reduced; (2) eu (Eu)3+/Eu2+The reduction potential is not too high. Eu (Eu)2+The study of the properties of ion luminescence can be roughly divided into two categories: eu in inorganic matrix2+Doped and molecular Eu2+And (3) a complex. The first category has been extensively studied, while the latter has not been explored in many respects. Eu reported in literature2+The complexes are mainly cyclopentadienyl, tri (pyrazolyl) borate, silyl amide and derivatives thereof. Recently, Allen et al reported a series of novel Eu-containing compounds2+The attractive luminescence, photoredox catalysis and magnetic resonance imaging of azamacrocyclic complexes of formula (I) are of increasing interest.
The uniqueness of the 5d-4f luminescence mechanism makes Eu2+Complexes in high performance Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)Has great potential. OLEDs have been successfully commercialized as a new technology in sophisticated displays and are being developed in solid state lighting. To achieve a theoretical Exciton Utilization Efficiency (EUE) of 100%, phosphorescence, Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) and organic free-radical materials were successively discovered and used as OLED light emitting materials. Eu in contrast to conventional f-f transitions and other currently used luminescent materials2+The compound has the following remarkable advantages: i) short excited state lifetime: f-f transitions are spin-forbidden, with lifetimes as long as a few milliseconds, greatly limiting the maximum brightness of their devices; while the 5d-4f transition is allowed with typical nanosecond lifetimes, significantly reducing excited state quenching, leading to higher brightness and lower efficiency roll-off; ii) the luminescent color can be easily adjusted by changing the coordination environment: the 5d orbital is sensitive to the ligand field, although the 4f orbital is not sensitive to the ligand field because it is effectively shielded by 5s5 p; iii) high abundance: the abundance of europium in the earth crust is 10-6wt%, much higher than the noble metals (Ir, Pt) of current commercial OLED light emitting materials. Therefore, the present inventors believe that Eu is used as Eu2+The 5d-4f transition material represented by the complex is the next unexplored but extremely potential field in the OLED luminescent material.
Disclosure of Invention
Despite the above advantages, Eu2+The use of the complexes is limited by their poor air stability. To the best of the inventors' knowledge, only one part so far has been based on Eu2+The OLED of the complex was reported to have an External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) of only 0.01% and a maximum luminance of only 10cd · m in consideration of a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 85%, which is unsatisfactory in performance of the External Quantum Efficiency (EQE)-2. Further, Eu2+5d-4f transition of ion is open shell electron at 4f65d1And 4f7The transition between orbitals, which the present inventors theoretically predict can utilize 100% of exciton energy when applied to OLEDs; therefore, more effort must be made to apply Eu2+The complex is reasonably designed, and the electroluminescent mechanism of the complex is deeply understood to improve the efficiency and brightness of the device. The inventors of the present invention believe that the steric effect and coordination interaction of macrocyclic ligands are exploitedCan increase Eu2+Stability of the complex. Thus, in a particular embodiment of the invention, the inventors have selected three ligands, 1,4,7, 10-tetraazadodecane (N)4) 1,4,7,10,13,16,21, 24-octaazabicyclo [8.8.8 ] s]Hexaalkane (N)8) And 4,7,13,16,21, 24-hexamethyl-1, 4,7,10,13,16,21, 24-octaazabicyclo [8.8.8]Hexacosane (N)8M6) For designing six names EuX2-NnAnd EuX2-N8M6Containing Eu2+The azamacrocycle complex of (X ═ Br, I; n ═ 4, 8). A series of crystal analyses, spectra, stabilities and theoretical studies were carried out to reveal these Eu2+Photophysical properties of the complex. Then, due to EuX2-N8The high efficiency and good thermal/air stability of the complexes, which are exemplarily selected as the light emitting layer material of the OLED for optimum device performance. Using EuI2-N8The optimized device has excellent performance, the maximum EQE is 17.7 percent, and the maximum brightness is 25470 cd.m-2The organic electroluminescent device can perform as well as the most advanced OLED device which takes a phosphorescent metal complex or TADF molecule as a luminescent material.

N is a radical of4The ligand has two possible conformations, each of which accounts for 50%. Thus, Eu2+The center is coordinated by eight nitrogen atoms from two ligands, using an unusual geometry, with an average of 50% being tetragonal inverse prisms and 50% being distorted cubic structures.

Example 2 photophysical Properties of the Complex
In order to systematically study Eu2+The photophysical properties of the complex, the inventors determined its steady state and transient spectra. Eux2-N4The crystalline powder of (A) shows an orange-red emission, maximum wavelength (. lamda.)max) Are each 605nm (X ═ Br) and613nm (X ═ I). From N4Is changed to N8Ligand due to N8The weaker crystal field of the ligand results in a significant blue shift, EuX2-N8Lambda of the Complexmax510nm (X ═ Br) and 515nm (X ═ I). When N is to be8After methylation of the ligand, the resulting complex EuX2-N8M6Further blue-shifted of the emission wavelength of (a)max469nm (X ═ Br) and 466nm (X ═ I), respectively. The lifetime of these complexes is in the hundreds of nanoseconds (Table 2), within the expected range of 5d-4f transitions. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of these complexes in solid powders is relatively narrow (only 32nm at the narrowest) compared to luminescent materials characterized by a Charge Transfer (CT) mechanism. The excitation bandwidths of these complexes are uncharacterized and range from 230nm to 500nm (EuX)2-N8And EuX2-N8M6) And 230nm-600nm (EuX)2-N4) In the meantime. According to the above photo-physical studies, and considering that the ligand in the complex system is a saturated organic compound having an extremely high energy level, the possibility of ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) is excluded. Thus, the excitation and emission process can be regarded as Eu2+Electron transition in ion, where ground state is 4f7[8S7/2]Excited state of 4f6[7F0]5s1
Due to EuX2-N4Insoluble in common solvents, the inventors of the present invention studied only EuX2-N8And EuX2-N8M6Photophysical properties in methanol solution (1.5mM) and under nitrogen atmosphere. Eux2-N8The solution showed a bright yellow emission, lambdamaxAt 579nm, the emission spectra of the two complexes are almost identical. The emission was red-shifted by about 70nm compared to the solid sample, probably due to the N in the solid8The conformational differences of the ligands and the effects of the solution outweigh the effects of the halogens. The excitation bands of the two compounds are at 280nm and 410nm, respectively, from 4fz 3To 5dz 2And from 4fz 3To 5dxyIs detected. Ultraviolet visible spectrum shows EuX2-N8The complex is inHigh energy absorption at 250nm (. epsilon.)>1000L·mol-1·cm-1) Has a low-energy absorption peak (epsilon 644L. mol) at 404nm-1·cm-1X ═ Br) and 405nm (e ═ 512L · mol-1·cm-1X ═ I), consistent with their excitation band. Since the f-d transition is Laporte and spin allowed, the molar absorption rate will be larger, which is consistent with the reported Eu2+The complex is equivalent. For EuX2-N8And EuBr2-N4Time-lapse DFT (TD-DFT) calculations were performed. Eux2-N8The calculated predictions of (a) are very close to the experimental data. For N4Complex, EuBr2-N4With two possible conformations (high symmetry: cubic conformation, low symmetry: tetragonal antiprism conformation), calculations show that different conformations show different absorption bands. Eubr2-N8M6Lambda of the solutionmax449nm, FWHM 33nm only, and EuI2–N8M6The solution was almost identical, with only 1nm broadening and 2nm red-shift. Eubr2–N8M6The excitation of the solution is bimodal, with maximum wavelengths of 369nm and 285nm, corresponding to EuI2-N8M6The solution ratio was red-shifted by 20nm and 14nm, respectively. Eubr2-N8M6The absorption of the solution is bimodal, with maximum wavelengths of 347nm and 260nm, corresponding to EuI2-N8M6The solution ratio is red-shifted by 2nm and blue-shifted by 1 nm. Eubr2-N8M6The molar absorption coefficient of the solution at 260nm of the maximum absorption peak thereof was 2.1X 103M-1·cm–1And EuI2-N8M6The solution is increased by two times compared with the prior solution, but still is positioned at thousands of M-1·cm–1Of order of magnitude, Eu2+The 4f-5d transition of (1) absorbs.
Interestingly, EuI2-N8The fluorescent material shows mechanical color change property, and the fluorescent color changes from green to yellow after moderate mechanical grinding. The emission spectrum shows that a new peak appears in the longer wavelength region after milling. To explore possible causes, excitation and transient spectra at 515nm and 580nm were collected in the ground samples.Similar excitation characteristics and slightly longer excited state lifetime of the new peak at 580nm both indicate that the longer wavelength emission still comes from Eu2+In the center, there may be slightly different coordination environments. We temporarily attributed the mechanical discoloration properties to EuI2-N8The relatively weak lattice can lead to a change in the conformation of the ligand after milling. The reversible process is essentially recrystallization in some solvent atmosphere (e.g., methanol). Furthermore, EuI was obtained by rapid precipitation in an antisolvent (tetrahydrofuran)2-N8Amorphous powder, can significantly enhance emission of long wavelengths. The 560nm emission is greatly enhanced and the lifetime of the excited state is increased from the crystalline state to the amorphous state. However, in EuBr2-N8No similar phenomenon was observed, indicating EuBr2-N8Have a high lattice energy and thus are difficult to change the ligand conformation by such a small mechanical stimulus.

EXAMPLE 3 thermal and air stability of the Complex

The relative error in residue weight (RE) was then calculated to verify the guesswork. Eux2-N4RE of (D) is quite low (-3%), whereas EuX2RE of-N8 is too high (I is-6% and-10% for X ═ Br, respectively). Exclusion of EuX by elemental analysis2-N8The possibility of impurities. Therefore, we consider these EuX' s2-N8The compound is at TdNearby undergoes decomposition and sublimation, which will result in a large deviation of the final weight percentage.
Then at 10-5These compounds were tested for sublimation characteristics under high vacuum at Pa and gradient heating. Discovery of EuBr2-N8Complete sublimation in the small range of 50mg was possible around 320 ℃ (tube temperature, different from sample temperature). It is noteworthy that significant decomposition occurs in the bulk sublimation, which may be due to uneven heating in the sublimation boat. For EuI with a higher sublimation temperature (350 ℃ C.)2-N8Similar properties were also found.
Considering N8The complex has excellent thermal stability, can be used for preparing OLED devices by using a traditional thermal evaporation method, and has poor thermal stability to N4And N8M6The complex can be used as a light-emitting material in an OLED in a solution film-forming mode. However, Eu is conventionally known2+The ion is easily O2Oxidized to Eu3+Air stability is therefore a key parameter for further applications. In order to reveal its air stability at room temperature, the inventors of the present invention measured EuX2-N8As a function of time, wherein the changes in the PLQY values reflect their respective air stability, EuBr2-N8Has not changed after being exposed to air for more than 450 hours, and EuI2-N8Metastable to air. To the best knowledge of the inventors, these two complexes are the most stable molecular type Eu2+And (3) a complex. To explain Eu2+Differences in the stability of the complexes, buried volumes (% V) were calculatedbur) Analysis to estimate N8Steric protection of the ligands, both complexes show a high% VburValues (for X ═ Br, I77% and 75.1%, respectively).

Thus, consider similar% VburTwo of these N8Difference in air stability between complexesRelated to the lattice energy.

Photophysics according to example 2 and stability study of example 3, EuX2-N8The complexes are good candidates for luminescent materials for OLEDs. Due to the lack of Eu for OLED2+Complex device experience and therefore efforts are made to optimize device structures. First, EuBr was selected2-N8Device optimization, including screening of host materials in subsequent examples, finding the best combination of Hole Transport Layer (HTL) and Electron Transport Layer (ETL), adjusting the emissive layer thickness, and then further following the optimization conditions, adjusting the EuI2-N8Doping concentration of the device and thickness of the emitting layer, material used.

Different ETL materials were designed in the A3-a12 device, including TmPyPB, DPEPO, Bphen, TPBi and combinations thereof. The EQE of a10 was found to be the highest at 12.4%, but unfortunately, the efficiency drop of a10 was very severe and efficiency could be effectively increased by the introduction of TSPO 1. As for HTL materials, m-MTDATA, TCTA, TAPC, etc. were also tested in this example. The a12 with TAPC showed the best performance with little drop in efficiency and the highest brightness.

The device results of the embodiments of the present invention are comparable to most mainstream OLEDs (phosphorescent metal complexes or TADF molecules as light emitting materials).
It is noteworthy that, considering the bandgap of the host material is about 3eV (400 nm), there is a rather high VonValue (>6V). To understand this phenomenon, we studied the vacuum by working at high vacuum (10)-5Pa) on a quartz substrate2Photophysical properties of the films produced in N-doped m-MTDATA (10% by weight). Also make EuX2-N8For reference. The emission of the doped thin film is mainly located in two wave bands, wherein the 400-470nm wave band (tau-1.2 ns) is attributed to the fluorescence of the host material, and the 500-650nm wave band (tau-10 ns)2ns) from EuX2-N8. Excitation spectroscopy shows that the two main excitation bands are located near 320nm and 390nm in pure films, which is similar to solution and solid state studies. Both doped films have almost the same excitation band at 350nm, indicating that the light energy first excites the host material and then transfers to the doped Eu2+Complex, and energy is not completely transferred during photoluminescence. Interestingly, the electroluminescence spectrum shows only Eu2+The emission of the complex, with a doping concentration (7 wt%) lower than that in the photoluminescence study. Thus, the above results indicate that carrier binding occurs primarily in the dopant material rather than the host material.
