An efficient AIE-active blue-emitting molecule by incorporating multifunctional groups into tetraphenylsilane.
A multifunctional AIE-active molecule, CzPySiTPE, in which carbazole (Cz) and pyridine (Py) were attached to tetraphenylsilane to facilitate carrier injection has been designed and synthesized. Tetraphenylethene (TPE) was adopted to maintain efficient blue emission. Blue electroluminescent (EL) emission of CzPySiTPE was obtained with CIE coordinates of (0.16, 0.17) and an external quantum efficiency of 1.12%.
