β¦ Synopsis
Electroluminescence was obtained under conditions where the energy of the reaction was clearly insufficient to produce rubrene in the excited singlet state. These reactions involved rubrene radical-anions and an acceptor of less positive potential than the rubrene cation, as well as the corresponding case of rubrene radical-cations and donors. Triplet-triplet annihilation can provide sufficient energy to form the excited singlet state.
The triplet state appears to be involved in the reaction of rubrene radical-cations and radicalanions as noted by analysis of emitted-light/time curves from which evidence for triplet quenching is evident.
