MATERIAL AND METHODS

Synthesis: Commercially available reagents and solvents were used without further purification other than those detailed below. THF was distilled from sodium/benzophenone prior to use. Light petroleum refers to the fraction with bp 40-60°C. Reactions were stirred magnetically, unless otherwise indicated. Analytical thin layer chromatography was carried out using aluminum backed plates coated with Merck Kieselgel 60 GF254 and visualized under UV light (at 254 and 360 nm). Chromatography was carried out using Teledyne Isco CombiFlash® Rf 400 (UV detection 200-360nm), over standard silica cartridges (Redisep® Isco standard (40 - 60µ) or Gold (20 - 40µ)). 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded using Bruker 300 MHz instruments (1H frequency, corresponding 13C frequency: 75 MHz); chemical shifts were recorded in ppm and J values in Hz. In the 13C NMR spectra, signals corresponding to CH, CH2 or Me groups, assigned from DEPT, are noted; all others are C. The residual signal for the CD2Cl2 is 5.32 ppm for the proton and 54.00 ppm for the carbon. The following abbreviations have been used for the NMR assignment: s for singlet, d for doublet, t for triplet and m for multiplet. High resolution mass spectra were recorded at the Centre Régional de Mesures Physiques de l'Ouest (Rennes) on (i) Bruker MicrO-Tof-Q II (Source: Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionisation (APCI - direct introduction (ASAP–Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe) at a temperature of 30°C - positive mode) or on (ii) Waters Q-Tof II (source: electrospray (ESI)).

X Ray: The structures were solved by direct methods using the SIR97 program,1 and then refined with full-matrix least-square methods based on F2 (SHELXL-97)2 with the aid of the WINGX 3 program. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic atomic displacement parameters. H atoms were finally included in their calculated positions. Crystallographic data have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre as supplementary publication no. CCDC CCDC 1046694-

1046697 (for STX-TXO2, STX-DAF SPA-TXO2 and SPA-DAF) and CCDC 1046704 (triphenylamine-diazafluorenol). Copies of the data can be obtained free of charge on application to CCDC, 12 Union Road, Cambridge CB2 1EZ, UK [fax: (+44) 1223-336-033; e-mail: [email protected]].

Spectroscopic studies: Cyclohexane (AnalaR NORMAPUR, VWR), Toluene (Spectrometric grade 99,7%,Alfa Aesar), Chloroform (AnalaR, NORMAPUR, VWR), Ethyl Acetate (for analysis, Carlo Erba), Acetonitrile (Anhydrous for analysis, Carlo Erba), 2-Methylpentane (99+%, Alfa Aesar), Methylcyclohexane (>99.0%, TCI), H2SO4 1N solution in water (Standard solution, Alfa Aesar) and Quinine sulfate dihydrate (99+%, Alfa Aesar) were used without further purification. UV-visible spectra were recorded using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer SHIMADZU UV-1605. The optical gap

was calculated from the absorption edge of the UVvis absorption spectrum using the formula ΔEopt (eV) = hc/λ, λ being the absorption edge (in meter). With h = 6.6260610-34J.s (1eV = 1.6021710-19J) and c = 2.99792108m.s-1, this equation may be simplified as: ΔEopt (eV) = 1239.84/ λ (in nm).Photoluminescence spectra were recorded with a PTI spectrofluorimeter (PTI-814 PDS, MD 5020, LPS 220B) using a xenon lamp. Quantum yields in solution (øsol) were calculated relative to quinine sulfate (øsol = 0.546 in H2SO4 1N). øsol was determined according to the following equation (1),

where, subscripts s and r refer respectively to the sample and reference. The integrated area of the emission peak in arbitrary units is given as T, n is the refracting index of the solvent and A is the absorbance. 4 solutions of different concentration of the substrate (A<0.1) were prepared and 4 solutions of quinine sulfate, and absorption and emission spectrum were recorded (excitation at 336 nm for the quinine sulfate). Slope of the integrated emission intensity vs. absorbance gave Tx/Ax. 4 quantum yields are then calculated and the average value is reported

Low temperature (77 K) measurements were performed in methylcyclohexane / 2-methylpentane 1/1 solution which freezes as a transparent glassy matrix. Measurements were carried using a single-block quartz cuvette containing the solution, which was placed in an Oxford Optistat cryostat cooled with liquid nitrogen, equipped itself with three quartz optical windows.

Thin films were prepared with a SussMicrotech Labspin spin coater. 50 µL of THF solution (≤10 g/L) was dropped off a sapphire plate, which was then rotated at 2000 rpm for 40 s. IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Vertex 70 using a diamond crystal MIRacle ATR (Pike).

Electrochemical studies: All electrochemical experiments were performed under an argon atmosphere, using a Pt disk electrode (diameter 1 mm), the counter electrode was a vitreous carbon rod and the reference electrode was a silver wire in a 0.1 M AgNO3 solution in CH3CN. Ferrocene was added to the electrolyte solution at the end of a series of experiments. The ferrocene/ferrocenium (Fc/Fc+) couple served as internal standard. The three electrode cell was connected to a PAR Model 273 potentiostat/galvanostat (PAR, EG&G, USA) monitored with the ECHEM Software. Activated Al2O3 was added in the electrolytic solution to remove excess moisture. For a further comparison of the electrochemical and optical properties, all potentials are referred to the SCE electrode that was calibrated at 0.405 V vs. Fc/Fc+ system. Following the work of Jenekhe,4 we estimated the electron affinity (EA) or lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the ionization potential (IP) or highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) from the redox data. The LUMO level was calculated from: LUMO (eV)= -[Eonset

red (vs SCE) + 4.4] and the HOMO level from: HOMO (eV) = -[Eonsetox (vs SCE) +

4.4], based on an SCE energy level of 4.4 eV relative to the vacuum. The electrochemical gap was calculated from : ΔEel =|HOMO-LUMO| (in eV). 4 5

Theoretical modeling : Full geometry optimization with Density functional theory (DFT) 6 7 and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) calculations were performed with the hybrid Becke-3 parameter exchange8-10 functional and the Lee-Yang-Parr non-local correlation functional11 (B3LYP) implemented in the Gaussian 09 (Revision B.01) program suite12 using the 6-311G+(d,p) basis set and the default convergence criterion implemented in the program. The figures were generated with GaussView 5.0. The computed triplet adiabatic S0 to T1 excitation energies were calculated from the difference between the total energy of the molecule in their respective optimized singlet and triplet states. Calculations were carried out under GENCI ( project c2015085032)

Thermal properties: Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was carried out at the "Institut des Sciences Analytiques" (UMR CNRS 5280) of Villeurbanne. TGA curves were measured at 10°C/min from 0 to 600°C under nitrogen atmosphere. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was carried out by using NETZSCH DSC 200 F3 instrument equipped with an intracooler. DSC traces were measured at 10°C/min. 2 heating/cooling cycles were successively carried out and the glass transition (if present) was determined from the 2nd heating cycle.

Device fabrication and characterization: OLEDs based on a multilayer structure have been fabricated onto patterned ITO coated glass substrates from XinYan Tech (thickness: 100 nm and sheet resistance: less of 20 W/m). The organic materials (from Aldrich and Lumtec) are deposited onto the ITO anode by sublimation under high vacuum (< 10-6 Torr) at a rate of 0.2 – 0.3 nm/s. The structure of the device is the following: ITO/CuPc (10 nm)/NPB (40 nm)/TCTA (10 nm)/ EML (20 nm)/TPBi (40 nm)/LiF (1.2 nm)/Al (100 nm). In this device, ITO is used as the anode, CuPc (copper phtalocyanine) is the hole injecting layer, NPB (N,N’-di(1-naphtyl)-N,N’-diphenyl-[1,1’-biphenyl]-4,4’-diamine) is the hole-transporting layer, TCTA (4,4',4''-Tris(carbazol-9-yl)-triphenylamine) is the electron blocking layer, TPBI (1,3,5-Tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene) is both the electron transporting layer and the hole blocking layer and a thin film of lithium fluoride covered with aluminum is the cathode. The entire device is fabricated in the same run without breaking the vacuum. In this study, the thicknesses of the different organic layers were kept constant for all the devices. The active area of the devices defined by the overlap of the ITO anode and the metallic cathode was 0.3 cm². Emissive layer (EML) was composed of the host (SPA-TXO2 or SPA-DAF or STX-TXO2 or STX-DAF) doped either with Tris[2-phenylpyridinato-C2,N]iridium(III) : Ir(ppy)3 or Bis[2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-C2,N](picolinato)iridium(III): FIrpic.

The current-voltage-luminance (I-V-L) characteristics of the devices were measured with a regulated power supply (Laboratory Power Supply EA-PS 3032-10B) combined with a multimeter and a 1 cm² area silicon calibrated photodiode (Hamamatsu). The spectral emission was recorded with a SpectraScan PR650 spectrophotometer. All the measurements were performed at room temperature and at ambient atmosphere with no further encapsulation of devices.

With :

"Δν" (cm-1) being the Stokes shift,

"Δμ" (D) the dipole moment difference between S0 and S1 states (Δμ = μ* - μ)

"r" (cm) the radius of the solvation sphere calculated from Xray structure,

"h" Planck constant (6,626.10-27erg.s-1),

"c" celerity (2,998.1010 cm.s-1)

"Δf" is the orientation polarisability of the solvent calculated from its dielectric constant "ε" and its refractive index "n" Δf = (ε-1)/(2ε-1)-(n2-1)/(2n2-1)19 and C is a constant.

Experimentally, several points Δν/Δf were measured from absorption and emission spectra in several solvents (Cyclohexane, Toluene, Chloroform, Ethyl Acetate, and Acetonitrile). A slope is then calculated by a linear regression on these five points and the dipole moment difference (Δµ) is calculated with this equation:

Excited state dipole moment µ* is then calculated from the ground state dipole moment μ estimated by DFT optimisation at 6-311+G(d,p) level of theory without solvatation
