The Effect Of Molecular Structure On The Efficiency Of 1,4-Diazine-Based D-(Pi)-A Push-Pull Systems For Non-Doped Oled Applications

A series of novel D-A and D-pi-A push-pull systems based on a pyrazine and quinoxaline acceptor, bearing various electron-donating triphenylamine and carbazole moieties, are compared. A significant difference in electrochemical and photophysical properties was found depending on molecular structure. The compounds have strong solvatochmmic properties. Quinoxaline-containing systems exhibit delayed fluorescence (DF) in thermal vacuum deposition films. Despite the low quantum yield of fluorescence in the solid state (less than 10%), organic light-emitting diodes with sufficiently high efficiency (4.2 cd/A) have been fabricated on the basis of this push-pull systems. The best results were obtained for compounds exhibiting DF. The possible channel for increasing the efficiency of OLED can be associated with the "hot excitons" mechanism.
