英文摘要 | The photophysical properties of a series of tris-cyclometalated h(Ill) complexes bearing oligofluorene-substituted 2-phenylpyridine (ppy) and/ or 1-phenylisoquinoline (piq) ligands were studied at both room temperature and 77 K, for delineating the oligomer-substitution effects on the photophysics in such metal-complex-containing conjugated oligomers/polymers. Unique temperature dependence was observed with the triplet excited-state lifetime of the studied oligomers. Molecules having one of the three ppy ligands substituted with an oligofluorenyl group at varied positions exhibited two distinct types of phosphorescing behaviors. When the oligoflurene group was coupled to ppy in a conjugative fashion (i.e., at 5- or 4'- position), the complexes appeared to emit from a (3)MLCT-dominated state perturbed by LC transition, as evidenced by the relatively short lifetimes of phosphorescence as well as hypsochromic shift upon lowering the temperature. Surprisingly, even shorter triplet lifetimes were detected at 77 K for such oligomers. When the oligofluorenyl was tethered to the phenyl ring of ppy meta to pyridine, emission properties were consistent with a (3)LC-dominated state, mixed with a certain MLCT component. Uniquely, for these oligomers an evident bathochromic shift of emission with a significantly retarded radiative decay rate was observed at 77 K. Furthermore, when a piq ligand was incorporated, red phosphorescence characteristic of Ir-piq-based (3)MLCT transition emerged, disregarding the substation position of the oligofluorene. All these different photophysical behaviors, particularly their unique temperature dependence, were explained by considering an energy transfer process between different triplet states, with dominant MLCT and LC characteristics. In complexes having all ppy-derived ligands, these two states were of similar but different energy. While one played a more important role than the other, both were contributing to the phosphorescence emission. The temperature dependence of the photophysics reflected the equilibrium shifting process. When the (3)MLCT-dominated state was lower in energy, faster radiative decay and shorter lifetimes were manifested upon lowering the temperature, as a result of more favored (3)MLCT-dominated state. Whereas if the (3)LC-dominated state was more stable, slower radiative decay emerged at decreased temperature due to further a reduced MLCT contribution. The bathochromic shift was also a result of equilibrium shifting to the state of lower energy. When the piq ligand was engaged, the emission was governed by the (3)MLCT state of the Ir-piq moiety, which had much lower energy compared to the triplet states localized in oligofluorenyl ppy. DFT calculations substantiated the above hypothesis by identifying separate molecular orbitals possessing mixed but imbalanced MLCT and LC components.; Polymer Science; SCI(E); EI; 11; ARTICLE; 1; 133-141; 45 |
