Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

We developed the synthesis of new Pt(II) complexes bearing tailored cyclometallated C^N*N^C luminophores, and performed their in-depth photophysical characterization. The emission of the monomeric species can be blue-shifted upon formal isosteric replacement of two C-H units by N atoms at the two cyclometallating rings. Their remarkable stability upon sublimation was demonstrated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which also revealed a defined self-assembly behavior leading to supramolecular arrays, showing a three-fold symmetry in 2D-confined monolayers. The supramolecular organization is driven by van der Waals interactions of the side chains and does not depend on the nature of the luminophores, as also observed in the crystalline phases showing no significant Pt-Pt interactions in 3D. Conversely, the luminescence properties in glassy matrices at 77 K and in amorphous solids are indicative of intermolecular interactions with sizeable intermetallic coupling, which was demonstrated by reproducing the emission spectra of dimeric species by means of (TD)DFT calculations. The tendency towards aggregation was also traceable by cyclic voltammetry, whereas thermogravimetric analyses confirmed their stability. Solution-processed and vacuum-deposited OLED devices showed a concentration-dependent electroluminescence that red-shifts with increasing concentrations. Due to the stability of the complexes, solution-processed and vacuum-deposited devices showed identical electroluminescence spectra. Besides favoring aggregation, the introduction of two N atoms has a detrimental effect on the device performance, due to the prolonged excited state lifetimes favoring triplet-triplet annihilation.
