摘要
Hybridized local and charge-transfer (HLCT) excited-state fluorophores, which enable full exciton utilization through a reverse intersystem crossing from high-lying triplet states to singlet state, have attracted increasing attention toward organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) application. Herein, we report three D-pi-A-pi-D-type isomers o-2CzBT, m-2CzBT, and p-2CzBT by adjusting the donor (D) units from ortho-, meta-, to para-substituted positions with the acceptor (A) core unit, respectively. The HLCT properties of the three compounds are evidently confirmed by theoretical calculations, solvatochromic behaviors, and transient decay lifetimes analyses. As the substituted position changes from the ortho-, meta-, and para-positions, the reduced steric hindrance brings about decreased torsional angle between D and A moieties, resulting in increased oscillator strength. Accordingly, the para-substituted p-2CzBT is endowed with a more locally excited component that accounts for faster radiative decay, leading to a higher fluorescent efficiency than that of o-2CzBT and m-2CzBT. As expected, p-2CzBT enables its nondoped and doped OLEDs with higher external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of 12.3% and 15.0%, respectively, which are among the state-of-the-art efficiencies of HLCT-based OLEDs. Moreover, o-2CzBT and m-2CzBT are also utilized as host materials for high-performance OLEDs, thus extending the application of HLCT materials. [GRAPHICS] .
