Photophysical and optoelectronic properties of a platinum(II) complex and its derivatives, designed as a highly efficient OLED emitter: A theoretical study

摘要

New platinum(II) complex with picolinate (pic) and 2-phenyl naphtothiazole (pntl) ligand as the guest material has been designed and its capability for OLED applications have been examined. Also, we have studied the effects of different substitutions (ie, electron-withdrawing and electron donating groups) on naphtothiazole moiety on optovoltaic characters. We have employed density functional theoretical (B3LYP/DFT) methods to reveal the photophysical and structure properties relationships with the typical host material. The valence MO energies, vertical and adiabatic triplet energy, reorganization energy, and triplet exciton generation fraction (chi(T)) have been extensively studied to exploring high phosphorescence efficiency in OLEDs. It has been predicted that substituted systems are good candidates for OLED applications as well as their parent system.
