Triplet Exciton Diffusion and Phosphorescence Quenching in Iridium(III)-Centered Dendrimers

Abstract: A study of triplet-triplet exciton annihilation and nonradiative decay in films of iridium(III)-centered phosphorescent dendrimers is reported. The average separation of the chromophore was tuned by the molecular structure and also by blending with a host material. It was found that triplet exciton hopping is controlled by electron exchange interactions and can be over 600 times faster than phosphorescence quenching. Nonradiative decay occurs by weak dipole-dipole interactions and is independent of exciton dif… Show more

“…Namdas et al 12 and Ribiere et al 13 adopted this point of view, and deduced from transient PL studies for a series of dendrimers with a tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy) 3 ) core that the exciton hopping rate decreases exponentially with the hopping distance (R), consistent with an exchange (Dexter-type) interaction with a rate proportional to expðÀ2R=kÞ. For the two sets of materials studied, including in Ref.…”

“…3 fit well with a single value of ␥ = ͑6 Ϯ 1͒ ϫ 10 −9 cm 3 / s, which indicates that the annihilation is diffusion-controlled. In this case 15,17 ␥ =4 DR a , where R a is the annihilation radius. The diffusion coefficient D in the neat CBP film is expected to be the same as in the blend because the diffusion occurs by incoherent hopping and is therefore insensitive to scattering effects.…”

“…We assume that the IrG1 dendrimers are homogeneously dispersed in the CBP host at a molecular scale, which was inferred in a previous study of triplet-triplet annihilation. 15 In this case the average center-to-center distance between IrG1 dendrimers is N d −1/3 = 2.5 nm. We have modeled the direct energy transfer in the blend assuming a cubic unit cell with a point dipole of the acceptor molecule located in the center of the cube.…”
