Abstract 2,3-Dicyanopyrazine based acceptor was combined with a series of well studied donors to obtain donor-acceptor type potential thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters. Their structural and electronic properties were computed theoretically at the level of density functional theory and time dependent density functional theory with the application of two different hybrid functionals and various basis sets. Almost all of the designed structures were computed to have the potential of being TADF compounds since they possess very narrow singlet-triplet gaps. Indeed, acridine-pyrazine (9) derivative was calculated to be the best candidate for the purpose among them.

Using density functional theory we have investigated the structure–property relationships of organic molecules with a donor–linker–acceptor (DLA) framework, which can be used as precursors of OLED materials.

Four novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials with 9,10-dihydro-9,9- dimethylacridine (DMAC) and phenylindolo(2,3-a)carbazole (PIC) as electron donors and benzazole derivatives (BO, and BT) as electron acceptors (DMAC-BO, DMAC-BT, PIC-BO, and PIC-BT) were designed and theoretically investigated for use as a blue organic light emitting diode (OLED) emitter. Using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations, we calculated the electron distribution of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and the energy of the lowest singlet (S1) and the lowest triplet (T1) excited states. All the dyes had a small spatial overlap between the HOMO and LUMO because of the relatively large dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the acceptor moiety. In terms of the energy difference (ΔEST) between the S1 state and the T1 state, DMAC-BO and DMAC-BT showed the small ΔEST (0.18 eV and 0.21 eV, respectively). However, PIC-BO and PIC-BT showed the large ΔEST (0.62 eV and 0.61 eV, respectively). Among the TADF materials, we showed that DMAC-BO would have the best TADF properties in terms of small ΔEST and blue OLED emitters

A new series of tetrahedral heteroleptic copper(I) complexes exhibiting efficient thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in green to orange electromagnetic spectral regions has been developed by using D-A type N^N ligand and P^P ligands. Their structures, electrochemical, photophysical, and electroluminescence properties have been characterized. The complexes exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of up to 0.71 at room temperature in doped film and the lifetimes are in a wide range of 4.3–24.1 μs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the complexes reveal the lowest-lying intraligand charge-transfer excited states that are localized on the N^N ligands. Solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on one of the new emitters show a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.96%.

We designed novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials by combining the electron donors spiro[acridine-9,9′-fluorene] (D1) and 9,9-diphenyl acridan (PAC) with the electron acceptor phenoxaphosphine (OPO) unit (2D1-OPO and 2PAC-OPO) and used those property to compare it with that of the reference material using dimethylacridan (Ac) as an electron donor (Ac-OPO) for blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). To calculate electron distribution of highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO), lowest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO), lowest singlet (S1) energy and lowest triplet (T1) excitation states, density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculation have been used. The calculated energy difference (ΔEST) between the S1 and T1 states of 2D1-OPO (0.125 eV) and 2PAC-OPO (0.153 eV) were as small as that of Ac-OPO (0.127 eV). The results showed that 2D1-OPO is a good candidate for blue OLED emitter because it has an emission wavelength of 441.0 nm as well as a sufficiently small ΔEST value and large oscillator intensity value.

In 2010 we energy-minimized 225 high-quality single-crystal (SX) structures with dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) to establish a quantitative benchmark. For the current paper, 215 organic crystal structures determined from X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data and published in an IUCr journal were energy-minimized with DFT-D and compared to the SX benchmark. The on average slightly less accurate atomic coordinates of XRPD structures do lead to systematically higher root mean square Cartesian displacement (RMSCD) values upon energy minimization than for SX structures, but the RMSCD value is still a good indicator for the detection of structures that deserve a closer look. The upper RMSCD limit for a correct structure must be increased from 0.25 Å for SX structures to 0.35 Å for XRPD structures; the grey area must be extended from 0.30 to 0.40 Å. Based on the energy minimizations, three structures are re-refined to give more precise atomic coordinates. For six structures our calculations provide the missing positions for the H atoms, for five structures they provide corrected positions for some H atoms. Seven crystal structures showed a minor error for a non-H atom. For five structures the energy minimizations suggest a higher space-group symmetry. For the 225 SX structures, the only deviations observed upon energy minimization were three minor H-atom related issues. Preferred orientation is the most important cause of problems. A preferred-orientation correction is the only correction where the experimental data are modified to fit the model. We conclude that molecular crystal structures determined from powder diffraction data that are published in IUCr journals are of high quality, with less than 4% containing an error in a non-H atom.
