Two novel four-coordinate boron-containing emitters1and2with deep-blue emissions were synthesized by refluxing a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole ligand with triphenylborane or bromodibenzoborole. The boron chelation produced a new π-conjugated skeleton, which rendered the synthesized boron materials with intense fluorescence, good thermal stability, and high carrier mobility. Both compounds displayed deep-blue emissions in solutions with very high fluorescence quantum yields (over 0.70). More importantly, the samples showed identical fluorescence in the solution and solid states, and the efficiency was maintained at a high level (approximately 0.50) because of the bulky substituents between the boron atom and the benzimidazole unit, which can effectively separate the flat luminescent units. In addition, neat thin films composed of1or2exhibited high electron and hole mobility in the same order of magnitude 10–4, as determined by time-of-flight. The fabricated electroluminescent devices that employed1or2as emitting materials showed high-performance deep-blue emissions with Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (X= 0.15,Y= 0.09) and (X= 0.16,Y= 0.08), respectively. Thus, the synthesized boron-containing materials are ideal candidates for fabricating high-performance deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes.
