A novel perfluoro-1,4-phenylenyl 6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline derivative (TFBIQ) was designed and synthesized by using a C-H direct arylation method. The optoelectrical properties of the obtained TFBIQ were fully characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and a group of Alq -based green organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Device A, which used 0.5 nm-thick TFBIQ as the interfacial modification layer, exhibited the five best advantages of device performance including a minimum turn-on voltage as low as 3.1 V, a maximum luminescence intensity as high as 26564 cd m , a highest current density value of 348.9 mA cm at a voltage of 11 V, the smallest efficiency roll-off, as well as the greatest power efficiency of 1.46 lm W relative to all of the other tested devices with thicker TFBIQ and also 10 nm-thick MoO as hole-injection layers (HILs). As a promising candidate for an organic HIL material, the as-prepared TFBIQ exhibited a strong thickness effect on the performance of corresponding OLEDs. Furthermore, the theoretical calculated vertical ionization potential of the fluorinated TFBIQ suggests better anti-oxidation stability than that of the non-fluorinated structure.

Pi-extended polyaromatics tend to exhibit improved electronic properties with respect to the intrinsic structures. Herein, the rational design of a π-extended diindole-fused diazapentacenone (IP), with a nine-ring-fused core, obtained by applying an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts diacylation synthetic routine, is reported. The chemical structure, physical properties, and morphology of IP were fully characterized. Serving as an organic cathode material for a lithium-ion battery, the as-prepared nanorods of π-extended IP display higher conductivity and superior electrochemical performance than those of the naked diazapentacenone without diindole fusion.
