New stable WOLEDs based on π-extended azatrioxa[8]circulenes
have been fabricated. Combining the own blue emission of the
azatrioxa[8]circulenes with the yellow-green emission of the
“m-MTDATA:azatrioxa[8]circulene” exciplex a broad visible
region, from 400 to 700 nm, is covered. The so constructed
WOLEDs exhibit luminance exceeding 23700 cd m-2
and an
external quantum efficiency reaching 3%.
Azatrioxa[8]circulenes1,2 (ATOCs) are polyaromatic heterocyclic
compounds containing a planar cyclooctatetraene core (COT)
enclosed within a condensed ribbon of four benzene, three
furane and one pyrrole rings (Figure 1). The first ATOC
compounds were synthesized by Pittelkow and co-workers in
20131 by treating a suitably functionalised 3,6-
dihydroxycarbazole with 1,4-benzoquinones or 1,4-
naphthoquinone. Recently, several new representatives of
unsymmetrical ATOCs were additionally synthesized by the
Pittelkow group.2 It was shown that the synthetic pathway for
the ATOCs is very sensitive to the electronic nature of
substituents in the first 1,4-benzoquinone moiety (there
should be an electron donating substituent like the t-Bu group,
otherwise the diazadioxa[8]circulene3 is the main product).
However, such substituted ATOCs demonstrate a quite low
florescence quantum yield (φfl.) (with values less than 0.31,1-3
Fig. 1) which is not suitable for their utilization as emitters in
OLEDs. Importantly, extending the ATOC π-conjugation by two
naphthalene moieties that originate from the initial 1,4-
naphthoquinone synthetic reagent provides significant
increase of φfl up to 0.911,2 (Fig. 1, compounds 1 and 2).
Therefore, such π-extended ATOCs could be promising
fluorescent emitters for the OLEDs taking into additional
account also their extremely high thermo- and electro-
stability. Complementary theoretical justification for the
π-extended ATOCs as being suitable candidates for blue OLEDs
has been recently published by Baryshnikov et.al.4 These
authors have used the specially parameterized semiempirical
INDO approximation together with the ab initio CASPT2 (XMC-
QDPT2) method to show that for a number of ATOCs
molecules the fluorescence process strongly dominates over
the non-radiative deactivation channels providing φfl. values
up to 0.99.4
In the present study we have implemented for the first time
ATOC molecules 1 and 2 into real prototypes of
electroluminescent light-emitting devices. Particularly, we
have fabricated single-layer OLEDs with the following rather
simplified structure (the layers thickness (nm) in parentheses):
device A: ITO/1(100)/Ca(5)/Al(200)
device B: ITO/2(100)/Ca(5)/Al(200).
In order to improve the lighting characteristics of these OLEDs
and to extend their electroluminescence spectra over the
visible range we have inserted ATOCs 1 and 2 between
exciplex-forming layers of star-shaped 4,4′,4′′-tris[phenyl(m-
tolyl)amino]triphenylamine (m-MTDATA)5-7 from one side and
electron-transporting layers of 2,2′,2"-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-
tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi)8 from the other side
(for the chemical structures of m-MTDATA and TPBi see Figure
S1 in ESI). We have additionally used an inorganic CuI layer as a

hole-transporting material.9 The final scheme of the improved
devices looks as follows (Figures S2, S3):
Device C:
ITO/CuI(8)/m-MTDATA(10)/1(50)/ TPBi(10)/Ca(5)/Al(200)
Device D:
ITO/CuI(8)/m-MTDATA(10)/2(50)/TPBi(10)/Ca(5)/Al(200).
All the OLEDs (devices A–D) were fabricated as reported
earlier.10-13,‡
The theoretical interpretation of the electronic spectra of the
compounds 1 and 2 was performed by the time dependent
(TD)14 density functional theory (DFT) method using the
specially exchange-parameterized B3LYP15,16 functional
(aXHF=0.14, aX
Slater=0.86) and 6-31G(d)17 basis set within the
polarizable continuum model (PCM)18 for account of the
solvent effect (dichloromethane in our case). All the
calculations have been carried out using the Gaussian 0919
program package.
As can be seen in Figure 2 the profiles of the experimental
absorption spectra (measured in CH2Cl2 solutions) are very
similar for the ATOCs 1 and 2. Our TDDFT simulations (Tables
S1, S2 for spectral assignment, Figures S4, S5 for MOs)
reproduce well the experimentally observed spectra excluding
the 0-1 and 0-2 vibronic satellites for the S0–S1 transition in the
region of 360-400 nm (Figure 2). These bands can not be
reproduced by the regular TDDFT calculations but their
vibronic origin was recently identified by the TDDFT method
with the Franck–Condon and Herzberg–Teller approaches
including Duschinsky effect.20 The most vibronically active
modes were determined as the asymmetrical stretching
vibrations of the inner octatetraene core. A clear visible
vibronic progression of the S1–S0 transition is also observed in
the emission spectra of ATOCs 1 and 2 measured for the solid
films samples and dichloromethane solutions (Figure 3). It is
noteworthy that the fluorescence spectra of the solid films are
clearly broadened in the long-wavelength region for both
circulenes (Figure 3, 470-590 nm). That is probably caused by
the excimer emission of the π-stacked dimers as detected by
the single crystal X-ray crystallography measurements (Figure
S6). It can be seen from Figure 3 that the fluorescence spectra
of the N-benzyl substituted compound 2 (measured for the
CH2Cl2 solution and for the solid phase) are the same
concerning the peak positions while the solid film fluorescence
spectrum of N-propyl substituted compound 1 is 10 nm red-
shifted for the most intense 0-1 vibronic band comparing with
its solution spectrum. Such a substituent effect can be
explained by the fact that the molecules of N-propyl
substituted ATOC 1 are more close-packed in the condensed
phase comparing with the more voluminous N-benzyl
substituted ATOC 2 molecules. At the same time, the Pr and Bn
substituents do not affect the EL spectra of the simplest single-
layered devices A and B (Figure 4). The technical
characteristics of these devices are quite pure (Figures S7 and
S8): the high current densities provide the very low values of
the external quantum efficiencies (EQE); the brightness values
are also extremely small (only 1900 Cd/m2 at 15 V). Such low
efficiency is probably caused by the poor charge carrier
mobility within the active layer. Varying the thickness of the

emissive layer does not provide any significant improvement
of the device performance. Thus we have assumed that such
poor device efficiency could be attributed to the limitations of
the ATOCs as it has been shown previously for the related
tetraoxa[8]circulenes.21 However the main drawback of the
devices A and B is that the blue emission colour from the 0-0,
0-1 and 0-2 bands (410-480 nm) is contaminated by the long-
wavelength electromer-type emission in the region of 550-700
nm (Figure 4). The resulting colour of devices A and B is light-
purple that does not satisfy the requirements for the color
chromaticity of the commercial OLEDs.22 In order to improve
the lighting characteristics of the devices A and B we have
fabricated multilayered OLEDs using the CuI and TPBi materials
as the hole- and electron-transporting layers, respectively. We
have additionally used the commercial m-MTDATA interlayer
as the exciplex-forming material (Figures S2, S3). Here, we
should note, that the thin films of both ATOC 1 and 2 have very
low roughness values which are acceptable for structuring
OLEDs. The topography of ATOC 2 (Figure 6a) shows a
homogeneous surface with morphological features having a
mean height of 1.19 nm and a root mean square roughness (Rq)
of 0.11 nm. The surface of ATOC 2 has more valleys with a
skewness (Rsk) value of -0.02 and exhibits a leptokurtoic
distribution of the morphological features with a kurtosis (Rku)
value of 4.15 indicating relatively many high peaks and low
valleys. In contrast to ATOC 2, the ATOC 1 surface (Figure 6b)
was found to be rougher with randomly oriented surface
mounds having a mean height of 0.81 and an Rq value of 0.16
nm. The surface of ATOC 1 exhibits a relatively different
symmetry and leptokurtoic distribution of the morphological
features with Rsk and Rku values of -0.31 and 3.64, respectively.
As can be seen from the Figure 5 the separate m-MTDATA and
ATOCs 1, 2 materials demonstrate a similar fluorescence pattern
in the blue spectral region except for the long-wavelength
excimer-type emission of ATOC 1. In contrast, the spin-coated
m-MTDATA:1(or 2) equimolar solid films exhibit an intense
broad exciplex-type PL emission with a strong maximum
around 550 nm (Figure 5, red and green curves). The short-
wavelength emission bands at about 480 nm can be assigned
as the own red-shifted fluorescence of ATOCs 1 and 2. The
same slightly shifted exciplex emission (520 nm) has also been
observed in the EL spectrum of Device C mixed with the
vibronically-resolved fluorescence of compound 1 in the region
of 420-500 nm. Device D (based on ATOC 2) is characterized by
a similar shape of EL spectrum, but the intensity of the 0-0 and
0-1 bands of ATOC 2 (Figure 4, green line) is two times weaker
compared with the Device C. It is probably caused by the more
effective exciplex formation between the ATOC 2 and m-
MTDATA rather than between ATOC 1 and m-MTDATA due to
the N-substituent effect. The lighting characteristics of the

fabricated devices are summarized in Table 1 and are also
presented in Figures 7-9. The CIE chromaticity coordinates (x,
y) of the devices C and D were found to be (0.27, 0.33) and
(0.28, 0.36), corresponding to white emission colour in
accordance with CIE1931 standard (Table 1, Figure 7, Figure S9).

The exciplex-based OLEDs C and D demonstrate a stable
luminance performance in the vide range of current density
regimes. For instance, the OLED D shows a high brightness of
23700 Cd/m2 at 15V (Table 1) and the current efficiency of
4.2 Cd/A (at 1000 Cd/m2); this value is almost independent on
the current density in the range from 30 to 200 (500) mA/cm2
(Fig. S9 b), which suggests the possible usage of such OLED
structures in display technologies. We note that the current
and power efficiencies as well as external quantum efficiency
for the studied devices C and D can be improved by additional
device passivation, more careful selection of the transporting
layers and also by varying the layer thickness. We also note
that the brightness of the devices C and D is quite high
comparing with similar exciplex-based WOLEDs containing
purely organic fluorescent exciplex-forming materials23-25,
which refers to the particular property of the m-
MTDATA/ATOC interface. Therefore it is our conviction that
the ATOC compounds are truly promising candidates for
exciplex-based organic light emitting devices.
Conclusions
We conclude that the azatrioxa[8]circulenes (ATOCs) studied in
this work represent novel highly-stable and low-cost blue
organic fluorophores that show intense exciplex-type emission
at the organic-organic interface with an exciplex-forming star-
shaped m-MTDATA counterpart. This finding is very useful for
application in OLEDs. Particularly, combining the own blue
electroluminescence of the ATOCs with the exciplex emission
at m-MTDATA:1(or 2) interface makes it possible to cover the
whole visible region and to achieve finally white emission
colour. Actually, these are the first exciplex-based bright
WOLEDs based on hetero[8]circulene species.§ This class of
materials complements and extends the manifold of stable
emissive materials for WOLED applications.26 The extremely
high stability and the low cost of azatrioxa[8]circulenes could
be useful as well as crucial factors for their commercial
utilization in real WOLED-type light sources.

were used as the cathode. The active area of the obtained
device was 6 mm2.
The current density-voltage and luminance-voltage
dependences were recorded with a semiconductor parameter
analyzer (HP 4145A) using it in the air without passivation
immediately after fabrication of the device. The measurement
of brightness was performed using a calibrated photodiode.
The electroluminescence spectra were recorded with an Ocean
Optics USB2000 spectrometer. Photoluminescence (PL)
spectra and PL decay curves were recorded with the Edinburgh
Instruments FLS980 spectrometer at room temperature using
a low repetition rate μF920H Xenon Flash lamp as the
excitation source.
The PL measurements were performed for the layer prepared
by thermo vacuum deposition and for the layer of the
molecular mixture m-MTDATA:AOC 1(or 2) prepared by casting
the THF solution of the mixture consisting of 50% of m-
MTDATA and 50% of AOC 1 (or 2) onto clean quartz substrate.
Surface morphology of vacuum deposited films of ATOCs 1 and
2 was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM
experiments were carried out in air at room temperature using
a NanoWizardIII atomic force microscope (JPK Instruments),
while data was analyzed using SurfaceXplorer and JPKSPM
Data Processing software. The AFM images were collected
using a V-shaped silicon cantilever (spring constant of 3 N/m,
tip curvature radius of 10.0 nm and the cone angle of 20º)
operating in a contact mode.
§ The first attempt to fabricate the OLEDs based on
hetero[8]circulene representatives was made in 2010 by
Pittelkow et.al.21 They have used the series of unsymmetrical
π-extended tetraoxa[8]circulenes as the emissive species
doped into the (4,4’-N,N’-dicarbazole)biphenyl (CBP) host
matrix. The additional hole- and electron-transporting layers
have been also used, but the final OLEDs have demonstrated
quite poor lighting performance (brightness no more than 817
Cd/A at 12 V, Von more than 7 V, current efficiency no more
than 1.7 Cd/A). Depending on the chemical structure of the
tetraoxa[8]circulenes the resulting emission colour of
performed OLEDs has changed in the range from light-blue to
green. In summary of Ref.21 the authors have concluded that
tetraoxa[8]circulenes are the promising materials for the
development of blue OLEDs. “The very high chemical stability
and the intriguing optical and electrochemical properties of
the tetraoxa[8]circulenes gives rise to optimism with regards
to their use in optical devices.”21 This conclusion is also true
regarding AOCs emitters accounting that in the present work
we have significantly improved the lighting characteristics of
the circulene-based OLEDs comparing with Ref.21. 1 C. B. Nielsen, T. Brock-Nannestad, P. Hammershøj, T. K.
