Abstract:

Quantitative comprehension of the photophysical process is essential for developing novel highly efficient emitters. Improving the photoluminescence quantum efficiency of Pt(Ⅱ) complexes is the key to their application as emitters in organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs). With the help of density functional theory(DFT) calculation, the current contribution addresses the microscopic mechanisms of phosphorescence for Pt(Ⅱ) complexes including calculations of the spin-orbit couplings integrals, radiative lifetime, rate constants, transition dipole moments, and intersystem crossing(ISC) channels. We found that pushing electrons in N→Pt direction can effectively shield the non-radiative decay process, thereby improving the phosphorescence emission efficiency. This work would provide useful insight into the molecular engineering for high- efficient emitters.

Key words: Density functional theory, Spin-orbit coupling, Radiative decay rate constant, Intersystem crossing
