Structural relaxation chirality transfer enhanced circularly polarized luminescence in heteronuclear Ce-Mn complexes.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials have developed rapidly in recent years due to their wide application prospects in fields like 3D displays and anti-counterfeiting. Utilizing energy transfer processes to transfer chirality has been proven as an efficient way to obtain CPL materials. However, the physics behind energy-transfer induced CPL is still not clear.

Efficient Deep-Blue Organic Light-Emitting Diodes Employing Doublet Sensitization.

Fast and efficient exciton utilization is a crucial solution and highly desirable for achieving high-performance blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the rate and efficiency of exciton utilization in traditional OLEDs, which employ fully closed-shell materials as emitters, are inevitably limited by spin statistical limitations and transition prohibition. Herein, a new sensitization strategy, namely doublet-sensitized fluorescence (DSF), is proposed to realize high-performance deep-blue electroluminescence.

Lanthanide complexes with d-f transition: new emitters for single-emitting-layer white organic light-emitting diodes.

White organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) is a new generation of lighting technology and has stimulated wide-ranging studies. Despite the advantage of simple device structure, single-emitting-layer WOLEDs (SEL-WOLEDs) still face the challenges of difficult material screening and fine energy level regulation. Herein, we report efficient SEL-WOLEDs with a sky-blue emitting cerium(III) complex Ce-TBO and an orange-red emitting europium(II) complex Eu(Tp) as the emitters, showing a maximum external quantum efficiency of 15.

Warm-White-Light Perdeuterated Dy(III) Complex with a Photoluminescence Quantum Yield of up to 72% in Deuterated Chloroform.

Herein, a deuteration strategy is proposed to enhance the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of a Dy(III) complex. The perdeuterated Dy(III) complex Dy(D-DPPOP) (D-DPPOP = 6-[bis(phenyl-)phosphoryl]picolinate-) exhibits a high PLQY of up to 72% in deuterated chloroform, which is 4.8 times higher than that of the nondeuterated Dy(III) complex Dy(DPPOP).

Lanthanide Cerium(III) Tris(pyrazolyl)borate Complexes: Efficient Blue Emitters for Doublet Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have had commercial success in displays and lighting. Compared to red and green OLEDs, blue OLEDs are still the bottleneck because the high-energy and long-lived triplet exciton in traditional blue OLEDs causes the short operational lifetime of the device. As a new type emitter, lanthanide complexes with a 5d-4f transition could have short excited-state lifetimes on the order of nanoseconds.

Two-Coordinate Copper(I)/NHC Complexes: Dual Emission Properties and Ultralong Room-Temperature Phosphorescence.

As a kind of photoluminescent material, Cu complexes have many advantages such as adjustable emission, variable structures, and low cost, attracting attention in many fields. In this work, two novel two-coordinate Cu -N-heterocyclic carbene complexes were synthesized, and they exhibit unique dual emission properties, fluorescence and phosphorescence. The crystal structure, packing mode, and photophysical properties under different conditions were systematically studied, proving the emissive mechanism to be the locally excited state of the carbazole group.
