环金属铂(Ⅱ)配合物凭借优异的激子利用率与结构可修饰性, 是高性能磷光有机发光二极管(OLEDs)的核心客体材料. 本工作以刚性苯并咪唑并苯并咪唑(BZI)为基本构筑单元, 分别引入吡啶与苯并噻唑片段, 设计并制备了两种四齿环金属铂(II)配合物Pt-py与Pt-bt. 两者均具备优异的热力学与电化学稳定性. 以Pt-py为客体制备的掺杂电致发光器件, 其最大发射波长、亮度、电流效率、功率效率与外量子效率分别为523 nm、65782 cd•m−2、83.3 cd•A−1、86.5 lm•W−1与23.4%, 且在1000 cd•m−2亮度下效率滚降仅为4.7%. 相比之下, Pt-bt基器件最大外量子效率仅为10.4%, 但其实现发射光谱红移, 成功将光色调控至橙红光区. 上述结果表明, BZI刚性基团为铂(II)配合物高效磷光发射提供了结构基础, 而通过合理选择配位片段, 可在发光颜色、效率以及稳定性之间进行调控, 为新型四齿铂(II)基磷光材料的分子设计与OLEDs应用提供参考.

Cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes serve as core guest materials for high-performance phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their excellent exciton utilization efficiency and structural modifiability. In this work, rigid 5H-benzo[d]benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]imidazole (BZI) was adopted as the fundamental building block. Two tetradentate cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes, namely Pt-py and Pt-bt, were rationally designed and synthesized by introducing pyridine and benzothiazole moieties, respectively. Both complexes exhibit outstanding thermodynamic and electrochemical stabilities. Theoretical simulation, photophysical measurements and electroluminescent device results reveal that Pt-py possesses a highly rigid molecular skeleton and weak excited-state geometric distortion, which effectively suppresses non-radiative decay. It exhibits high photoluminescence quantum yield and radiative decay rate, as well as excellent carrier trapping capability, enabling efficient charge recombination and sufficient host-guest energy transfer in the emitting layer. The corresponding doped OLED exhibit outstanding electroluminescent properties and extremely low efficiency roll-off, with a maximum luminance of 65782 cd•m−2, current efficiency of 83.3 cd•A−1, power efficiency of 86.5 lm•W−1 and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 23.4%. Its efficiency roll-off is only 4.7% at a practical luminance of 1000 cd•m−2. In contrast, Pt-bt with an extended conjugated plane achieves obvious emission redshift and realizes orange-red phosphorescence. However, the enlarged conjugated structure aggravates excited-state structural distortion and weakens carrier trapping ability, resulting in incomplete host-to-guest energy transfer and severe exciton quenching. Restricted by the energy gap law, the resultant device shows mediocre electroluminescence performance, with a low maximum EQE of 10.4% and serious efficiency roll-off. These results indicate that the rigid BZI moiety provides a structural basis for the efficient phosphorescence emission of Pt(II) complexes. Rational selection of coordinated fragments enables the regulation of emission color, efficiency and device stability. This work offers insights for the molecular design of novel tetradentate Pt(II)-based phosphorescent materials and their applications in OLEDs.
