Abstract
Narrow, deep blue emitters are highly desired in the field of organic light emitting diodes for high quality full color display and solid-state lighting applications. PtNON is reported as a deep blue emitting phosphor but is limited by its broad emission spectrum, making it unsuitable for high quality full color display applications. In this work, we report a strategy to fine-tune the color and the emission line shape of PtNON derivatives by incorporating electron donating (methyl or methoxy) or withdrawing (trifluoromethyl) substituent groups at the positions para to the nitrogen of the pyridines in PtNON. These substitutions resulted in destabilization or stabilization of the charge transfer state (CT) relative to the ligand centered (LC) state, resulting in complexes with narrow or broad emission spectra in various media. PtNON-OMe emits predominantly from the LC state, giving a narrow emission spectrum with fwhm = 48 nm in any media. PtNON-Me emits largely from the LC state in nonpolar media (fwhm = 54 nm) and predominantly from the CT state in polar media (fwhm = 83 nm). Last, PtNON-CF3 emits solely from the CT state in any media, giving it a broad emission spectrum (fwhm = 98 nm). The photoluminescence quantum yields of PtNON-OMe, PtNON-Me, and PtNON-CF3 in 1% doped PMMA films are 89, 95 and 20% with emission lifetimes of 27.1, 7.17, and 0.96 μs, respectively.
