Synthesis and property of diazocine derivatives substituted with imidazole in various positions
TIACA-I, TIACA-II were synthesized by changing the substitution position of the imidazole group in the diazocine core. TIACA-I, TIACA-II in the film state showed absorption in the range of 354 to 392nm and exhibited blue photoluminescence (PL) emissions at 448 and 462nm, respectively. The PL wavelength of TIACA-II is red-shifted by 14nm than that of TIACA-I due to the electron-donating intensity depending on the position of the imidazole group. The use of TIACA-II in a non-doped OLED device resulted in blue emission with current efficiency of 2.84 cd/A and CIE of (0.15, 0.18).
