- Abstract
- Four novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials with 9,10-dihydro-9,9-dimethylacridine (DMAC) and phenylindolo(2,3-a)carbazole (PIC) as electron donors and benzazole derivatives (BO, and BT) as electron acceptors (DMAC-BO, DMAC-BT, PIC-BO, and PIC-BT) were designed and theoretically investigated for use as a blue organic light emitting diode (OLED) emitter. Using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, we calculated the electron distribution of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and the energy of the lowest singlet (S-1) and the lowest triplet (T-1) excited states. All the dyes had a small spatial overlap between the HOMO and LUMO because of the relatively large dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the acceptor moiety. In terms of the energy difference (Delta E-ST) between the S-1 state and the T-1 state, DMAC-BO and DMAC-BT showed the small Delta E-ST (0.18 eV and 0.21 eV, respectively). However, PIC-BO and PIC-BT showed the large Delta E-ST (0.62 eV and 0.61 eV, respectively). Among the TADF materials, we showed that DMAC-BO would have the best TADF properties in terms of small Delta E-ST and blue OLED emitters.
