文摘

The aim of this work is to provide an in-depth interpretation of the optical and electronic properties of a series of spirobifluorene derivatives. These materials show great potential for application in organic light-emitting diodes as efficient blue-light-emitting materials due to the tuning of the optical and electronic properties by the use of different electron donors (D) and electron acceptors (A). The geometric and electronic structures of the molecules in the ground state are studied with density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio HF, whereas the lowest singlet excited states are optimized by ab initio CIS. The energies of the lowest singlet excited states are calculated by employing time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). The results show that the HOMOs, LUMOs, energy gaps, ionization potentials, electron affinities, reorganization energies, and exciton binding energies for these complexes are affected by different D and A moieties. Also, it has obtained that these blue-light-emitting materials have improved charge transport rate and charge transfer balance performance and can be used as efficient ambipolar-transporting materials in organic light-emitting diodes.
