  • Universal Host Materials for Red, Green and Blue High-Efficiency Single-Layer Phosphorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
    Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 2020
    Co-Authors: Fabien Lucas, Joëlle Rault-berthelot, Cassandre Quinton, Sadiara Fall, Thomas Heiser, Denis Tondelier, Bernard Geffroy, Nicolas Leclerc, Cyril Poriel
    Abstract:

    Simplifying the structure of Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) has been for the last twenty years the purpose of many studies. However, despite these efforts, only a few materials provide high efficiency devices. We report herein efficient design strategies to construct universal host materials for red, green and blue Single-Layer Phosphorescent OLEDs (SL-PhOLEDs). The three materials investigated, SPA-2,7-F(POPh2)2, SPA-3,6-F(POPh2)2 and SPA-2-FPOPh2, have been synthesized via an efficient approach and are constructed on the association of an electron rich phenylacridine unit connected by a spiro carbon atom to three different electron-deficient diphenylphosphineoxide-substituted Fluorenes. Electrochemical, spectroscopic, thermal and transport properties are discussed. The position (C2 and C7 vs. C3 and C6) and the number (1 vs. 2) of diphenylphosphineoxide units on the fluorene backbone have been particularly studied to highlight the best combination in term of device performances.

  • Violet-to-blue tunable emission of aryl-substituted dispirofluorene-indenofluorene isomers by conformationally-controllable intramolecular excimer formation.
    Chemistry - A European Journal, 2011
    Co-Authors: Cyril Poriel, Rémi Métivier, Joëlle Rault-berthelot, Frédéric Barrière, Olivier Jeannin
    Abstract:

    Two series of DiSpiroFluorene-IndenoFluorene (DSF-IF) positional isomers, namely dispiro[2,7-diarylfluorene-9',6,9'',12-indeno[1,2-b]Fluorenes], (1,2-b)-DSF-IFs 1 and dispiro[2,7-diarylfluorene-9',6,9'',12-indeno[2,1-a]Fluorenes], (2,1-a)-DSF-IFs 2 have been synthesized. These violet-to-blue fluorescent emitters possess a 3π-2spiro architecture, which combines via two spiro links two different indenofluorene cores, that is, (1,2-b)-IF or (2,1-a)-IF and 2,7-substituted-diaryl-fluorene units. Due to their different geometric profiles, the two families of positional isomers present drastically different properties. The marked difference observed between the properties of (1,2-b)-DSF-IF (1) and (2,1-a)-DSF-IF (2) is discussed in terms of intramolecular π-π interactions occurring in (2,1-a)-DSF-IF (2) leading to conformationally-controllable intramolecular excimer formation. Indeed, the original geometry of the (2,1-a)-DSF-IF (2) family, with face-to-face "aryl-fluorene-aryl" moieties, leads to remarkable excimer emission through intramolecular π-π interactions in the excited state. Furthermore, the emission wavelengths can be gradually modulated by the control of the steric hindrance between the adjacent substituted phenyl rings. Thus, through a comparative and detailed study of the (1)H NMR, electrochemical and photophysical properties of DSF-IFs 1 and 2, we have evidenced the intramolecular π-π interactions occurring between the two "aryl-fluorene-aryl" moieties in the ground state and in the excited state. These properties have been finally correlated to the spectacular conformational change modeled by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Indeed, the two "aryl-fluorene-aryl" moieties switch from a staggered conformation in the ground state to an eclipsed conformation in the first excited state.

    Co-Authors: Cyril Poriel, David Horhant, Jing-jing Liang, Morgane Virboul, Gilles Alcaraz, Joëlle Rault-berthelot, Frédéric Barrière, Nicolas Cocherel, Alexandra L. Z. Slawin, Nathalie Audebrand
    Abstract:

    A series of new dispiro[fluorene-9',6,9'',12-indeno[1,2b]Fluorenes] (DSF-IFs) has been synthesised. These new building blocks for blue-light-emitting devices and electroactive polymers combine indenofluorene (IF) and spirobifluorene (SBF) properties. We report here our synthetic investigations towards these new structures and their thermal, structural, photophysical and electrochemical properties. These properties have been compared to those of IF and SBF. We also report the anodic oxidation of DSF-IFs that leads to the formation of non-soluble transparent three-dimensional polymers. The structural and electrochemical behaviour of these polymers has been studied. The first application of these building blocks as new blue-light-emitting materials in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) is also reported.

  • Dispirofluorene-indenofluorene (DSFIF): Synthesis, Electrochemical, and Optical Properties of a Promising New Family of Luminescent Materials
    Organic Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: David Horhant, Jing-jing Liang, Morgane Virboul, Cyril Poriel, Gilles Alcaraz, Joe 1lle Rault-berthelot
    Abstract:

    A series of new dispiro[fluorene-9′,6,9′′,12-indeno[1,2b]Fluorenes] (DSFIFs) that combine indenofluorene (IF) and spirobifluorene (SBF) architectural specificities have been prepared. Their anodic oxidations lead to the formation of nonsoluble transparent polymers. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of these new molecules have been evaluated for further blue OLED applications. Poly-2,7-(9,9-dialkyl)Fluorenes (PFs) and copolymers are among the most promising blue light emitting materials despite the problem of their long-term color stability.

  • Comparative Study of the Oxidation of Fluorene and 9,9-Disubstituted Fluorenes and Their Related 2,7‘-Dimers and Trimer
    Chemistry of Materials, 2005
    Co-Authors: Philippe Hapiot, Corinne Lagrost, Fabien Le Floch, E. Raoult, Joëlle Rault-berthelot
    Abstract:

    Electroactive polyfluorene films were obtained by anodic coupling of fluorene and a series of 9,9-disubstituted Fluorenes and their related 2,7‘-dimers and trimer. The polymerization mechanism is discussed in light of cyclic voltammetry investigations in organic media using the classical millimetric electrode and ultramicroelectrodes, DFT theoretical calculations, and laser flash photolysis experiments. The first step of electropolymerization involves the formation of the carbon−carbon bond through the coupling between two fluorene radical cations. However, the radical cation of the produced dimer is not reactive enough to repeat the coupling reaction as in the classical electropolymerization mechanism. To continue the polymerization, formation of a higher oxidation state is required. This behavior is supported by theoretical expectations.

  • Transformation of substituted Fluorenes and fluorene analogs by Pseudomonas sp. strain F274
    Applied and environmental microbiology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Magdalena Grifoll, S A Selifonov, P J Chapman
    Abstract:

    Pseudomonas sp. strain F274, previously shown to catabolize fluorene via fluorenone and its angular dioxygenation, 2(prm1),3(prm1)-dihydroxy-2-carboxybiphenyl, phthalate, and protocatechuate, was examined for its ability to transform substituted Fluorenes and S- and N-heterocyclic analogs. Halogen- and methyl-substituted Fluorenes were metabolized to correspondingly substituted phthalates via attack on the unsubstituted ring. In the case of 1-methylfluorene, initial oxidation of the methyl group to carboxyl prevented all other transformations but 9-monooxygenation. This strain also oxidized the S-heteroatoms and benzylic methylenic groups of fluorene analogs. No angular dioxygenation of S- and N-heterocycles was observed.

  • Evidence for a novel pathway in the degradation of fluorene by Pseudomonas sp. strain F274
    Applied and environmental microbiology, 1994
    Co-Authors: Magdalena Grifoll, S A Selifonov, P J Chapman
    Abstract:

    A fluorene-utilizing microorganism, identified as a species of Pseudomonas, was isolated from soil severely contaminated from creosote use and was shown to accumulate six major metabolites from fluorene in washed-cell incubations. Five of these products were identified as 9-fluorenol, 9-fluorenone, (+)-1,1a-dihydroxy-1-hydro-9-fluorenone, 8-hydroxy-3,4-benzocoumarin, and phthalic acid. This last compound was also identified in growing cultures supported by fluorene. Fluorene assimilation into cell biomass was estimated to be approximately 50%. The structures of accumulated products indicate that a previously undescribed pathway of fluorene catabolism is employed by Pseudomonas sp. strain F274. This pathway involves oxygenation of fluorene at C-9 to give 9-fluorenol, which is then dehydrogenated to the corresponding ketone, 9-fluorenone. Dioxygenase attack on 9-fluorenone adjacent to the carbonyl group gives an angular diol, 1,1a-dihydroxy-1-hydro-9-fluorenone. Identification of 8-hydroxy-3,4-benzocoumarin and phthalic acid suggests that the five-membered ring of the angular diol is opened first and that the resulting 29-carboxy derivative of 2,3-dihydroxy-biphenyl is catabolized by reactions analogous to those of biphenyl degradation, leading to the formation of phthalic acid. Cell extracts of fluorene-grown cells possessed high levels of an enzyme characteristic of phthalate catabolism, 4,5-dihydroxyphthalate decarboxylase, together with protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase. On the basis of these findings, a pathway of fluorene degradation is proposed to account for its conversion to intermediary metabolites. A range of compounds with structures similar to that of fluorene was acted on by fluorene-grown cells to give products consistent with the initial reactions proposed.
