Realizing High Quantum Yield Blue Emission of Polycarbosilane Modified by Anthracene with Weak Intermolecular Interactions
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C(2020)
摘要
Integration of high quantum yield blue emission and easy film-forming ability in organic emissive materials is challenging. Polycarbosilane (PCS) has received much attention as a model compound owing to its high stability, versatile optical properties, solvability, and film-forming ability; also, anthracene as a star material is the first organic molecule for electroluminescence (EL) devices. Herein, an ingenious strategy was successfully introduced to prepare PCSx with 9-ethylanthracene (referred as 9-EA-PCSx) by a hydrosilylation reaction using 9-vinylanthracene and PCS as starting materials, which transfer efficient energy from -Si-C- bonds to anthracene units. Grafted 9-ethylanthracene with extended pi-conjugation effectively improves optical property, morphological stability, and oxidation and ultraviolet (UV) radiation resistance of PCS. Particularly, 9-EA-PCSh powder displays excellent blue light emission (lambda(max) = 433 nm) with a high quantum yield (up to 80.06%), which is the highest value ever reported for organosilicon polymers to the best of our knowledge. For the first time, such a synergistic effect of PCS with anthracene in this way paves a practical way toward reliable emissive materials capable of forming facile coatings and providing useful low-cost emitting layers in developing foldable organic devices.
