The design of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials both as emitters and as hosts is an exploding area of research. The replacement of phosphorescent metal complexes with inexpensive organic compounds in electroluminescent (EL) devices that demonstrate comparable performance metrics is paradigm shifting, as these new materials offer the possibility of developing low-cost lighting and displays. Here, a comprehensive review of TADF materials is presented, with a focus on linkin

Abstract Since the first report in 2015, multiresonant thermally activated delayed fluorescent (MR‐TADF) compounds, a subclass of TADF emitters based on a heteroatom‐doped nanographene material, have come to the fore as attractive hosts as well as emitters for organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). MR‐TADF compounds typically show very narrow‐band emission, high photoluminescence quantum yields, and small Δ E ST values, typically around 200 meV, coupled with high chemical and thermal stabilities

Organic compounds that show Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) have become wildly popular as next generation emitters in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), but since 2016, have received significant and increasing attention as photocatalysts.

Visible light photoredox catalysis has exploded into the consciousness of the synthetic chemist. We critically review Earth-abundant metal complexes photocatalysts including Cu(<sc>i</sc>), Zn(<sc>ii</sc>), Ni(0), V(<sc>v</sc>), Zr(<sc>iv</sc>), W(0), W(<sc>vi</sc>), Mo(0), Cr(<sc>iii</sc>), Co(<sc>iii</sc>) and Fe(<sc>ii</sc>).

Abstract A new design strategy is introduced to address a persistent weakness with resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (R‐TADF) emitters to reduce aggregation‐caused quenching effects, which are identified as one of the key limiting factors. The emitter Mes 3 DiKTa shows an improved photoluminescence quantum yield of 80% compared to 75% for the reference DiKTa in 3.5 wt% 1,3‐bis( N ‐carbazolyl)benzene. Importantly, emission from aggregates, even at high doping concentrations, is e

An easy-to-access, near-UV-emitting linearly extended B,N-doped heptacene with high thermal stability is designed and synthesized in good yields. This compound exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) at ambient temperature from a multiresonant (MR) state and represents a rare example of a non-triangulene-based MR-TADF emitter. At lower temperatures triplet-triplet annihilation dominates. The compound simultaneously possesses narrow, deep-blue emission with CIE coordinates of (0.

This perspective illustrates our approach in the design of heteroleptic cationic iridium(iii) complexes for optoelectronic applications, especially as emitters in electroluminescent devices. We discuss changes in the photophysical properties of the complexes as a consequence of modification of the electronics of either the cyclometalating (C^N) or the ancillary (N^N) ligands. We then broach the impact on these properties as a function of modification of the structure of both types of ligands. We

High-efficiency pure blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) remain one of the grand challenges, principally because the emissive complexes employed either do not possess sufficiently high photoluminescence quantum yields or exhibit unsatisfactory Commission International de l'Éclairage (CIE) coordinates. Here two deep-blue-emitting homoleptic iridium(III) complexes are reported and OLEDs are demonstrated with CIE coordinates of (0.15, 0.05) and maximum external quantum efficie

In organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), horizontal orientation of the emissive transition dipole moment (TDM) can improve light outcoupling efficiency by up to 50% relative to random orientation. Therefore, there have been extensive efforts to identify drivers of horizontal orientation. The aspect ratio of the emitter molecule and the glass-transition temperature (T_g ) of the films are currently regarded as particularly important. However, there remains a paucity of systematic studi

The carbazolophane (Czp) donor unit (indolo[2.2]paracyclophane) is introduced to the design pool of donors in thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters. The increased steric bulk of the annelated donor unit forces an increased torsion between the carbazole and the aryl bridge resulting in a decreased Δ<i>E</i> _ST and an enhancement of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence in the triazine-containing emitter <b>CzpPhTrz</b>. Further, the closely stacked carbazole and benz

Improved luminophore: The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of an iridium complex self-enhanced up to 16 times is reported. Three excited states were observed in the emission spectra (see picture). The ECL efficiency of this complex is the highest reported for an iridium complex.

Organic long-persistent luminescence (OLPL) is one of the most promising methods for long-lived-emission applications. However, present room-temperature OLPL emitters are mainly based on a bimolecular exciplex system which usually needs an expensive small molecule such as 2,8-bis(diphenyl-phosphoryl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (PPT) as the acceptor. In this study, a new thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compound, 3-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrazine-8,9-dicarbonitrile

OLED technology has revolutionized the display industry and is promising for lighting. Despite its maturity, there remain outstanding device and materials challenges to address. Particularly, achieving stable and highly efficient blue OLEDs is still proving to be difficult; the vast array of degradation mechanisms at play, coupled with the precise balance of device parameters needed for blue high-performance OLEDs, creates a unique set of challenges in the quest for a suitably stable yet high-pe

Room-temperature luminescent Co^III complexes (1 and 2) are presented that exhibit intense ligand-to-metal and ligand-to-ligand charge transfer absorption in the low-energy UV region (λ_abs ≈360-400 nm) and low-negative quasi-reversible reduction events (E^1/2_(red) =-0.58 V and -0.39 V vs. SCE for 1 and 2, respectively). The blue emission of 1 and 2 at RT is due to the large bite angles and strong σ-donation of the ligands, the combined effect of which he

The first examples of through-space conjugated thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters based on a [2.2]paracyclophane (PCP) skeleton with stacked (coplanar) donor–acceptor groups have been synthesized.
