Theoretical study of the optical and charge transport properties of star-shaped molecules with 1,3,5-triazine-core derivatives as organic light-emitting and organic solar cells materials

摘要

A series of D-pi-A star-shaped molecules has been investigated theoretically by using density functional theory (DFT) to reveal their optical, electronic, and charge transport properties for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic solar cells (OSCs). The calculated results show that their optical, electronic, and charge transport properties are affected by the different end groups and pi-bridges. Our results reveal that the molecules under investigation can serve as OSCs donor materials and/or luminescent materials for OLEDs. In addition, all molecules are expected to be promising candidates for hole- and electron-transport materials. On the basis of the obtained results, we propose a rational way for the design of multifunctional materials for OLEDs and OSCs applications. (C) 2015 Academie des sciences.
