Abstract

The TADF properties for carbazol-dicyanobenzene, carbazol-diphenyl sulfone, carbazol-benzonitrile derivatives as OLED candidate materials are theoretically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with $6-31G^{**}$, cc-pVDZ, and cc-pVTZ basis sets. The optimized geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and HOMO-LUMO energy separations are predicted at the B3LYP/$6-31G^{**}$ level of theory. The harmonic vibrational frequencies of the molecules considered in this study show all real numbers implying true minima. The time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations have been also applied to investigate the absorption and emission wavelength (${\lambda}_{max}$), energy differences (${\Delta}E_{ST}$) between excited singlet ($S_1$) and triplet ($T_1$) states of candidate materials.

본 연구는 밀도 범함수 이론(DFT) 가운데 하나인 B3LYP 방법을 $6-31G^{**}$, cc-pVDZ, cc-pVTZ의 바탕함수 집합(basis set)과 함께 사용하여 전자 공여성 분자(D)로 카바졸(carbazol) 그리고 전자 구인성 분자(A)로 dicyanobenzene, diphenyl sulfone, benzonitrile 등의 조합으로 이루어진 열 활성화 지연형광(TADF) 후보 물질에 대하여 분자구조를 최적화하고 진동주파수를 계산하였다. 또한 최적화된 분자 구조에 대하여 HOMO와 LUMO 에너지 차이를 계산하였으며, 나아가 시간 의존 밀도 범함수 이론(TD-DFT)을 사용하여 분자의 최대 흡수 및 방출 파장(${\lambda}_{max}$) 그리고 단일항과 삼중항 들뜬 상태의 에너지 차이(${\Delta}E_{ST}$) 등을 계산하여 열 활성 지연형광(TADF) 소재로서의 가능성을 예측하였다.
