TL;DR: In this article, three aryl-substituted DiSpirofluorene-IndenoFluorenes (DSF-IFs 1, 3) possessing different fluorescent properties due to their different main emitters have been investigated through a structure-property relationship study.
Abstract: Intramolecular excimer emission arising from organic molecules as a blue light source in fluorescent Small Molecule Organic Light Emitting Diodes (SMOLEDs) is almost absent from the literature. In this work, three aryl-substituted DiSpiroFluorene–IndenoFluorenes (DSF–IFs 1–3) possessing different fluorescent properties due to their different main emitters have been investigated through a structure–property relationship study. Due to its particular geometry, the rigid DSF–IF platform 2 allows an ‘aryl/fluorene/aryl’ dimer to be preformed in the ground state leading, in the excited state, to a deep blue fluorescent emission through strong π–π intramolecular interactions between the two ‘aryl/fluorene/aryl’ arms. 2 has been successfully used as an emitting layer in a SMOLED with electroluminescence arising from electrogenerated intramolecular excimers and the properties of these excimer-based OLEDs have been compared to those of two model compounds (1 and 3). The simple and non-optimized double-layer device displays a deep blue colour (CIE coordinates: 0.19; 0.18) exhibiting a luminance of 510 Cd m−2 with a luminous efficiency of ca. 0.1 Cd A−1. This work is, to the best of our knowledge, the first rational and comparative study describing an intramolecular excimer based-SMOLED.

TL;DR: Fundamental insight into excimer formation of Cz9PhAn is provided, achieving a single-component, high-performance WOLED.
Abstract: Fundamental insight into excimer formation has been gained by using 9,10-bis[4-(9-carbazolyl)phenyl]anthracene] (Cz9PhAn) as a probe. Cz9PhAn exhibits a highly emissive blue fluorescence in solution and is found to emit a panchromatic white light spectrum (400–750 nm) in film, powder and single crystal, in which an additional excimer band appears at ∼550 nm. Detailed structural analyses, emission relaxation dynamics and a theoretical approach conclude the formation of an anthracene*/phenyl ring excimer through an overlap between π* (anthracene) and π (phenyl ring) orbitals in a face-to-edge stacking orientation. The rate of excimer formation is determined to be 2.2 × 109 s−1 at room temperature, which requires coupling with lattice motion with an activation energy of 0.44 kcal mol−1. Exploiting Cz9PhAn as a single emitter, a fluorescent white organic light emitting diode (WOLED) is fabricated with a maximum external quantum efficiency (ηext) of 3.6% at 1000 cd m−2 (4.2 V) and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.30, 0.33). The white-light Cz9PhAn reveals a preferred orientation of the transition dipole moment in the emitting layer to enhance light outcoupling. This non-doped, single component (Cz9PhAn) WOLED greatly reduces the complexity of the fabrication process, rendering a green and cost-effective alternative among the contemporary display/lighting technologies.
