We have developed high-efficiency blue organic light-emitting devices incorporate 1,3,5-Tri(1-pyrenyl)benzene(TPB3) as emitting layer and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(BPhen) as the electron transporting layer, which has a large Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital energy level and has good electron mobility. A device having the configuration : ITO(140 nm)/NPB(65 nm)/(TPB3 40nm)/BPhen(30 nm)/LiF(0.8 nm)/Al(200 nm) exhibited a maximum luminance at 9.5V of 29940 cd/m2, The maximum current and power efficiencies were 3.85 cd/A and 2.38 lm/W, respectively. The current and power efficiencies were greater than 3cd/A and 1.1 lm/W respectively, Over a large range of potentials (3.5~10.0V) with good Commission Internationale de l¡¦Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.17, 0.22). These results indicate that TPB3 is good blue-emitting material for OLED applications. The photophysical and chemical properties of TPB3 have also been studied in this research.

Over the past decade, intensive academic and commercial interests have been paid on compounds possessing photochemical properties, namely for their preparation, chemical properties, high efficiency and potential low-cost. Compounds having intense photochemical properties gained great interest due to wide range of potential applications. The sensitizers are one of the key components for high power-conversion efficiency in the dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). They are the core components in the organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) due to their ability to emit light with the wavelengths largely red- shifted from their absorption wavelength. Ruthenium based sensitizers have been tagged “molecular light switches” because, although the fluorescence of these complexes in aqueous solutions is negligible, it increases of greater than 10000 fold in the presence of DNA. Many polypyridyl and dipyrido phenazine ruthenium complexes have achieved high power conversion efficiencies and therefore are of practical interest. Several research groups stated that the dipyrido phenazine ligand may be thought of as comprising two components: a bipyridyl unit and a phenazine unit. These two subunits behave essentially separately, with many molecular orbitals being localised over only one subunit and a redox properties of central phenazine moiety in the dipyrido phenazine ligand are important for the photochemical applications. Therefore a phenazine ligand was selected as a model for the present investigation. The chemistry of phenazine ligand is mostly limited to the late transition metal and f - element complexes. Our laboratory has a rich backgroung in the aluminum and early transition metal chemistry. The aluminum chemistry and early transition metal chemistry are of great interest since aluminum and early transition metal complexes are environmentally friendlier and cheaper than the late transition metal compounds. Another drawback of the ruthenium-based sensitizers is the lack of absorption in the red region of the visible spectrum, and also low molar extinction coefficients. An essential requirement for efficient conversion of solar energy is the good spectral match of the sensitizer absorption to the emission spectrum of solar radiation. In this regard, the ruthenium sensitizers’ spectral response in the lower energy regions is not sufficient. The current project has three parts. In the first part we collected and reviewed known literature regarding the certain classes of non-innocent ligands containing the six-membered carbon- nitrogen heterocycles and regarding the ligands potentially important for the photochemical applications. We also reviewed all available to the data information about the complexes supported by the phenazine ligand. In the second part we have investigated interaction of alkylaluminum compounds and phenazine and observed reduction of phenazine accompanied by formation of dialuminum cage type compounds containing two formally mononegative phenazine ligand. The derivatization of phenazine has been also observed. It resulted in formation of compounds having a stable organic radical. In a third part of our project we have explored interaction of phenazine or thiophenazine with the alkylaluminum compounds and chromium dichloride. The reaction in the three component system resulted in reduction of phenazine ligand and lead to the heterometallic Cr(II) - aluminum complexes containing a formally dinegative phenazine or thiophenazine ligands. When a large excess of triethylaluminum was taken, reduction of phenazine and chromium has been observed leading to the heterometallic multinuclear Cr(I) - aluminum complex containing a formally dinegative phenazine ligands and two chromium atoms in one complex in the rare oxidation state one.

Neste trabalho foram projetados, fabricados e caracterizados funcionalmente dispositivos eletroluminescentes empregando complexos de Terras Raras (TR) e de Metais de Transição (MT) tanto como em filmes finos termicamente evaporados quanto formados através da técnica de spin-coating. O estudo foi iniciado com os complexos de TRs (especificamente o complexo de Európio e de Térbio) com filmes termicamente evaporados, com vistas à análise da eficiência externa dos dispositivos em função do ligante principal (CL). Desta análise observou-se que a particular estrutura química do CL resulta em diferenças perceptíveis ao nível da caracterização eletro-óptica (de 0,73x10-3 [BTA] para 1,05x10-3 [DBM]). Dando seqüência à análise de dispositivo com camada emissiva termicamente evaporada, foi realizada a análise do complexo de Térbio com dois tipos de ligante neutro (NL). Com base nos resultados obtidos, neste foco do estudo, observou-se que a configuração estrutural do NL implica em diferenças na eficiência externa (de 0,8x10-3 [PHEN] para 4,1x10- 3 [BIPY]) e no comprimento de onda dominante emitido (de 542 nm [BIPY] para 563 [PHEN]). Ainda explorando os complexos de TRs, foram estudados dispositivos empregando estes dispersos em um polímero com função de matriz, neste caso o polivinilcarbazol (PVK), em filmes formados por spin-coating, os quais apresentaram maior eficiência (de 0,72x10-3 [evaporado] para 1,24x10-3 [spincoating]) externa em comparação aos termicamente evaporados. Ainda nesta linha de estudo foi explorada uma nova estrutura de dispositivo empregando filmes automontados, cujos resultados apresentaram uma melhor eficiência externa para três bicamadas de PAni/PEDOT:PSS. Na seqüência, foram empregados os complexos de MT, especificamente de Rutênio e de Rênio, em filmes finos formados por spincoating. Com o primeiro destes, foi avaliada a conseqüência da variação do seu ligante, seus processos de transporte de portadores de carga e os fenômenos relacionados com sua luminescência. Já com o segundo, que foi disperso em PVK em diversas concentrações, foi feita a análise da eficiência externa com a mesma idéia adotada com o complexo de Európio, cujo estudo revelou uma eficiente transferência de energia, descrita pelo mecanismo de Transferência de Carga Metal- Ligante (3MLCT). / This work presents the study of the Rare Earth (RE) and Transition Metals (TM) complexes, as emissive layers of Organic Light-Emitting Devices (OLEDs) designed, built and electro-optically characterized. The thin films were thermally evaporated or spin-coated. This research started with the study of Europium complex changing its central ligand (CL), which showed that its electrical response exhibits external efficiency differences (from 0.73x10-3 [BTA] to 1.05x10-3 [DBM]). It was observed that the particular chemical structure of the CL results in significant differences as seen in the electro-optical characterization. Giving continuity to the thermally evaporated device characterization, an analysis was done with the Terbium complexes with two different neutral ligands (NL). It was noticed, in this work, that an NL change in Terbium complex imply in changes in external efficiency (from 0.8x10-3 [PHEN] to 4.1x10-3 [BIPY]) and in the emitted dominant wavelength (from 542 nm [BIPY] to 563 nm [PHEN]). Following the study using RE complex, we used it as a dye dispersed in polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) matrix, in a spin-coated deposited thin-film, which results showed a better external efficiency in comparison with thermally evaporated thin-films (from 0.72x10-3 [thermal evaporation] to 1.24x10-3 [spin-coating]). Besides, it was studied a new structure of electroluminescent device with thin-film Self-Assembled deposition, which results showed a better external efficiency for three bilayers of PAni/PEDOT:PSS. In the sequence, TM complexes, namely Ruthenium and Rhenium, were studied using spincoated thin-films. With the first of them, the implications of different ligands (bipyridyne and phenanthroline) were evaluated aiming the charge carrier transport and the luminescence related phenomena. The Rhenium complex was dispersed as a dye in the PVK, using the same approach as that used to study the Europium complex showing a very efficient energy transfer process, described in literature as the Metal-Ligand Charge Transfer (3MLCT) mechanism.

Esses dispositivos eletrônicos têm baixa voltagem de operação, fabricação simples e barata, alto desempenho, ligeira independência dos materiais usados como eletrodo ou da espessura de suas camadas emissoras, além de terem a possibilidade de serem fabricados sobre substratos flexíveis. Por essas razões, as LECs têm sido usadas como possíveis substitutas para os já conhecidos OLEDs (Diodos Orgânicos Emissores de Luz), e o estudo de suas propriedades ópticas e elétricas e de seu princípio de funcionamento têm sido foco de trabalho de muitos cientistas. Dentre os modelos conhecidos que propõem descrever o funcionamento das LECs podemos citar três: a Teoria da Difusão, a Teoria da Dopagem Eletroquímica e a Teoria Mista. No primeiro a injeção de portadores na camada ativa seria facilitada pelos compostos iônicos presentes na blenda que a compõe, com posterior movimentação de cargas por difusão e recombinação no centro da camada. No segundo modelo ocorre a formação de três regiões dentro da blenda polimérica: uma região dopada do tipo p, uma região dopada do tipo n e uma camada isolante onde ocorre a recombinação de cargas para emissão de luz. A teoria mista assume que ambas são possíveis dependendo das condições em que se encontra o dispositivo. A fim de compreender como esses processos ocorrem e interferem no desempenho desses dispositivos propusemos diversas experiências alterando parâmetros importantes na sua fabricação. É proposto um modelo para a influência do tipo de cátion e ânion usado no sal presente na camada ativa e para descrever a influência da concentração desse sal na blenda polimérica que a compõe. Com base nas teorias descritas é colocada em evidência a influência da concentração de polímero transportador de íons na camada emissora e da espessura desta camada. Ao fim de todo o estudo obtivemos um dispositivo otimizado que é comparado com um dispositivo feito com um material novo sintetizado por colaboradores do departamento de Química da UFJF a fim de gerar expectativas para futuros trabalhos. / One type of device that has attracted attention in recent years in the field of Organic Electronics are the Light Emitting Electrochemical Cells, better known as LECs (or LEECs) These electronic devices have low operating voltage, simple and inexpensive manufacture, high-performance, light independence of the material used as electrode or the thickness of its emissive layer, besides having the possibility to be manufactured on flexible substrates. For these reasons the LECs have been used as possible substitutes for known OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes), and the study of their optical and electrical properties, and its operating principle have been working focus of many scientists. Among the known models proposed to describe the operation of LECs we can name three: the Theory of Diffusion, the Theory of Electrochemical Doping, and the Mixed Theory. In the first, injection of carriers in the active layer would be facilitated by the ionic compounds present in the blend that makes up, with subsequent movement of charges by diffusion and recombination in the center of the layer. In the second model happens the formation of three layers within the polymer blend: A p-type doped region, a n-type doped region and an insulating layer where recombination occurs for emitting light. Mixed theory assumes that both are possible depending on the conditions in which the device is. In order to understand how these processes occur and interfere with the performance of these devices we have proposed several experiments changing important parameters in its manufacture. A model is proposed for the influence of the type of cation and anion used in the salt present in the active layer, and to describe the influence of the concentration of this salt in the polymer blend that makes up. Based on the theories described it is put in evidence the influence of the concentration of the ion carrier polymer in the emitter layer and the thickness of this layer. After all the study we obtained an optimized device that is compared with a device made with a new material synthesized by employees from the Chemistry Department of UFJF to generate expectations for future work.
