Abstract Hund’s multiplicity rule states that for a given electronic configuration, a higher spin state has a lower energy. Rephrasing this rule for molecular excited states predicts a positive energy gap between spin-singlet and spin-triplet excited states, which has been consistent with numerous experimental observations over almost a century. Here, we report a fluorescent molecule that disobeys Hund’s rule, possessing a negative singlet–triplet energy gap of –11 meV. The energy inversion of the singlet and triplet excited states results in delayed fluorescence with short time constants of 0.2 μs, which anomalously decrease with decreasing temperature due to the emissive singlet character of the lowest-energy excited state. Organic light-emitting diodes using this molecule exhibited a fast transient electroluminescence decay with a peak external quantum efficiency of 17%, demonstrating potential implications for optoelectronic devices, including displays, lighting, and lasers.

AbstractTriplet–triplet upconversion, in which two triplet excitons are converted to one singlet exciton, is a well-known approach to exceed the limit of electroluminescence quantum efficiency in conventional fluorescence-based organic light-emitting diodes. Considering the spin multiplicity of triplet pairs, upconversion efficiency is usually limited to 20%. Although this limit can be exceeded when the energy of a triplet pair is lower than that of a second triplet excited state, such as for rubrene, it is generally difficult to engineer the energy levels of higher triplet excited states. Here, we investigate the upconversion efficiency of a series of new anthracene derivatives with different substituents. Some of these derivatives show upconversion efficiencies close to 50% even though the calculated energy levels of the second triplet excited states are lower than twice the lowest triplet energy. A possible upconversion mechanism is proposed based on the molecular structures and quantum chemical calculations.

Organic light-emitting diodes using cluster emitters have recently emerged as a flexible optoelectronic platform to extend their biological and optical applications. However, their inefficient cluster-centered excited states and deficient electrical properties limit device performance. Here, we introduce donor groups in organic ligands to form ligand-activated clusters, enabling the fabrication of the first cluster-based sky blue–emitting device with a record 30- and 8-fold increased luminance and external quantum efficiency up to ~7000 nits and ~8%, respectively. We show that the electron-donating effect of donor groups can enhance ligand-centered transitions and thoroughly eliminate cluster-centered excited states by delocalizing the molecular transition orbitals from the cluster unit to the ligand, leading to 13-fold increased photoluminescence quantum yield. In turn, the excellent rigidity and photostability of the cluster unit improve the color purity and efficiency stability of the devices. These results will motivate the further development of high-performance optoelectronic clusters by ligand engineering.

PLICT molecules have twisted structures in the ground state, which are conducive to transport, while the planar conformations of the excited states facilitate radiation. Based on these advantages, they can serve as excellent emitters and hosts in OLEDs.
