The realization of cheap, printable optoelectronic devices on flexible substrates requires a fundamental understanding of molecular aggregation and interactions with interfaces. Pt(II) complexes constitute a class of triplet emitters exhibiting a square planar coordination geometry that favors the coupling of d-orbitals in phosphorescent aggregates, resulting in tunable colors for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). We have recently developed a strategy to obtain flat Pt(II) complexes that can be sublimed and deposited on metal substrates forming 2D monolayers. With the aid of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) as well as density functional theory (DFT), we explored structural and electronic properties at the Au(111) interface with submolecular resolution. Chemical substitution at defined positions enabled the realization of deep-blue phosphors. We will now use tetradentate luminophores providing the ultimate stability required for optoelectronic devices, irrespective of the processing method. The phosphorescent aggregates will be tuned from blue to red by finding the sub- and intermolecular electronic set-screws, i.e. suitable ligands and substituents. Intermolecular interactions will be controlled by varying the electron density at the metal center and the bulk of the substituents. Chemical synthesis and integral spectroscopic studies will be guided by a range of static and dynamic DFT-based methods for the prediction of stabilities and excited state properties. The formation and stability of aggregates as well as their luminescent properties will be investigated as a function of temperature in solution and for different substrates by ab inito simulation. The best candidates will be used for the realization of solution-processed and vapor-deposited OLEDs. When blue-green emitters stack into red clusters, white OLEDs can be realized by adjusting the degree of aggregation. As charge injection can occur via direct coupling of d-orbitals from the first layer with the electrodes, simplified devices can be envisaged, provided that layers of polychromatic phosphorescent aggregates are formed and directly electrically excited on the surface of electrodes. Thus, mono-, bi- and multilayers of stacked complexes will be investigated regarding their electronic properties, conductivity and (electro-)luminescence at conductive interfaces. Employing STM and STS, local coupling of the planar emitters with the underlying metallic surface via protruding orbital lobes will be correlated with charge injection phenomena towards simplified OLED arrays. STM-induced electroluminescence and photomapping with spatial, spectral and temporal resolution will enable a detailed understanding of the individual complexes in aggregates and in multilayers.

在柔性衬底上实现廉价、可打印的光电子器件需要对分子聚集和与界面的相互作用有基本的了解。铂(II)配合物构成了一类具有正方形平面配位几何结构的三重态发光体，有利于d-轨道在磷光聚集体中的耦合，从而产生了可调颜色的有机电致发光二极管(OLED)。我们最近开发了一种策略来获得扁平的铂(II)络合物，这种络合物可以升华并沉积在金属衬底上形成二维单分子膜。借助于扫描隧道显微镜(STM)和光谱(STS)以及密度泛函理论(DFT)，我们用亚分子分辨率研究了Au(111)界面的结构和电子性质。在特定位置的化学取代使深蓝色荧光粉得以实现。我们现在将使用四齿发光体来提供光电子器件所需的最终稳定性，而不考虑处理方法。通过寻找亚分子和分子间的电子螺丝，即合适的配体和取代基，磷光聚集体将从蓝色调谐到红色。通过改变金属中心和取代基主体的电子密度来控制分子间的相互作用。化学合成和积分光谱研究将由一系列基于DFT的静态和动态方法指导，用于预测稳定性和激发态性质。通过从头算模拟研究聚集体的形成和稳定性以及它们的发光性质作为溶液和不同基质中温度的函数。最好的候选者将用于实现溶液处理和气相沉积OLED。当蓝绿发射体堆叠成红色簇状时，可以通过调整聚集度来实现白色OLED。由于电荷注入可以通过第一层的d轨道与电极的直接耦合发生，因此可以设想简化的器件，前提是在电极表面形成多层多色磷光聚集体并直接电激发。因此，将研究单层、双层和多层叠层络合物的电子性质、导电性和导电界面的(电致)发光。利用STM和STS，平面发射极通过凸出的轨道瓣与金属表面的局部耦合将与简化的OLED阵列的电荷注入现象相关联。扫描隧道显微镜诱导的电致发光和具有空间、光谱和时间分辨率的光电测绘将使人们能够详细了解聚集体和多层中的单个络合物。
