Item Synthesis, growth and characterization of 1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one single crystal: A potential NLO material(2011) Prabhu, A.N.; Upadhyaya, V.; Arasalike, A.; Maddasani, M.; Manjunatha, K.B.; Umesh, G.A potentially useful nonlinear optical (NLO) organic material, 1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(24,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one(CTTMP), has been synthesized and grown as a high-quality single crystal by the slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy. The material has thermal stability up to its melting point. Single beam Z-scan technique was employed to study the third order NLO properties of the material. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.Item Blue organic light emitting materials: Synthesis and characterization of novel 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives(Elsevier B.V., 2014) Ulla, H.; Garudachari, B.; Satyanarayan, M.N.; Umesh, G.; Isloor, A.M.A series of naphthalimide derivatives were designed and synthesized by substituting electron-donating phenoxy groups at the 4th position of 1,8-naphthalimide. Photophysical, thermal, electrochemical properties of the synthesized derivatives were studied. The photophysical studies revealed that by varying the substituents at the 4th position of the 1,8-naphthalimide backbone, the photoluminescence spectra can be readily tuned in the range 410-423 nm (solution) and 457-468 nm (thin film). The derivatives have high Stokes' shifts and the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates are positioned in the deep blue region of the chromaticity diagram. Thermal analysis showed that the melting points are in the range 135-270 C with good thermal stability of 260-275 C. Electrochemical studies show the derivatives to have low-lying energy levels revealing that they possess good electron-transporting and hole-blocking properties. The ionization potentials and electron affinity are in the region of 6.30-6.36 eV and 3.31-3.43 eV, respectively, with energy band-gaps in the range 2.93-3.0 eV. The studies reveal that these energy values are relatively higher than the commonly used electron transporting materials. Hence these derivatives are potential candidates not only as electron transporting but also as hole blocking blue emitters for organic light-emitting diode applications. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Synthesized molecules were used as emitters and electron transporters in three different device configurations, involving hole-injection/hole-blocking materials that showed good current and power efficiencies. To understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the application of these molecules as emitters and transporters, a detailed photophysical characterization of molecules 4-6 was carried out. The absorption, steady-state fluorescence, phosphorescence, fluorescence lifetime, and phosphorescence lifetime measurements were carried out. The high quantum yield and efficient reverse intersystem crossing leading to delayed fluorescence emission makes the molecule a good emitter, and the charge delocalization properties leading to excimer formation make them efficient electron transporters. Isoenergetic singlet and triplet states of the molecules make the reverse intersystem crossing feasible at room temperature even in the absence of thermal activation. © 2015 American Chemical Society.Item Blue emitting 1,8-naphthalimides with electron transport properties for organic light emitting diode applications(Elsevier B.V., 2017) Ulla, H.; Raveendra Kiran, M.R.; Garudachari, B.; Ahipa, T.N.; Tarafder, K.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.; Umesh, G.; Satyanarayan, M.N.In this article, the synthesis, characterization and use of two novel naphthalimides as electron-transporting emitter materials for organic light emitting diode (OLED) applications are reported. The molecules were obtained by substituting electron donating chloro-phenoxy group at the C-4 position. A detailed optical, thermal, electrochemical and related properties were systematically studied. Furthermore, theoretical calculations (DFT) were performed to get a better understanding of the electronic structures. The synthesized molecules were used as electron transporters and emitters in OLEDs with three different device configurations. The devices with the molecules showed blue emission with efficiencies of 1.89 cdA-1, 0.98 lmW?1, 0.71% at 100 cdm-2. The phosphorescent devices with naphthalimides as electron transport materials displayed better performance in comparison to the device without any electron transporting material and were analogous with the device using standard electron transporting material, Alq3. The results demonstrate that the naphthalimides could play a significant part in the progress of OLEDs. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
