Abstract

Organoboron compounds provide a new line to tune the electronic structures of π-conjugated molecules, which is critical to the development of new organic semiconductor materials. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis of two novel boron–nitrogen (B−N) coordinated phenalene complexes (BNP-PX and BNP-PA) by employing BN phenalene (BNP) as the acceptor unit and phenoxazine/phenylphenazine groups as the donors. Based on single-crystal X-ray analysis, both BNP-PX and BNP-PA possess highly twisted conformations with the dihedral angles of 76.6 ° and 70.5 °, respectively. The photophysical properties of BNP-PX and BNP-PA are elucidated through UV-vis absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. In addition, BNP-PX exhibits a large Stokes shift (8,033 cm−1) and excellent aggregated-induced emission behavior. The red organic light-emitting diode device was fabricated based on compound BNP-PX, manifesting its promising application in organic optoelectronic devices.

Key words

After three times vacuum-argon operation, degassed toluene (5 mL) was added into the flask under argon. Then the mixture was stirred at 60 °C for 12 h. After cooling down to room temperature, anhydrous methanol (15 mL) was added into the flask and some brown solid precipitated to the bottom. The solid was collected by filtration and then washed by MeOH. The dark brown to black solid (43.0 mg, 60%) can be used directly for further characterization. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD2Cl2) δ 8.96 (dd, J = 8.4, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.92–8.84 (m, 1H), 7.94 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.85 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 3H), 7.60–7.51 (m, 2H), 7.46 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 3H), 7.38 (d, J = 1.7 Hz, 2H), 7.35 (s, 2H), 7.25–7.17 (m, 4H), 7.15 (d, J = 5.9 Hz, 3H), 7.12 (d, J = 2.7 Hz, 5H), 6.30 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2H), 6.21 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2H), 5.71–5.64 (m, 2H), 5.57–5.49 (m, 2H). 11B NMR (96 MHz, CD2Cl2) δ –5.37. 13C NMR (76 MHz, CD2Cl2) δ 150.8, 146.2, 140.9, 140.3, 137.8, 137.0, 136.4, 134.5, 134.5, 134.0, 133.5, 131.8, 131.6, 131.5, 129.3, 128.8, 128.6, 128.3, 127.7, 127.6, 126.6, 125.8, 125.3, 122.5, 121.9, 121.3, 113.2, 112.9.
