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%.

Emission Behavior

Exploring design principle for switching thermally activated dealyed fluorescecne (TADF) and room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is a fundamentally imporant research in developing triplet-mediated photofunctional organic materials. Herein systematic studies on the regioisomeric and substituents effects in a twisted donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) scaffold (A = dibenzo[a,j]phenazine; D = dihydrophenazasiline) on the fate of the excited state have been performed. The study revealed that the regiosiomerism clearly affects the emission behavior of the D–A–D compounds. Distinct difference in TADF, dual TADF & RTP, and dual RTP were observed, depending on the host used. Furthermore, OLED organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated with the developed emitters achieved high external quantum yields for RTP-based OLEDS up to 7.4%.

<p>In this work we introduce a new acceptor for use in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters, pyridylbenzimidazole, which when coupled with phenoxazine, allows efficient TADF occurs. <i>N</i>-functionalization of the benzimidazole using methyl, phenyl and <i>tert</i>-butyl groups permits colour tuning and adjustment of the optoelectronic properties and suppression of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) with minimal impact on the TADF mechanism. Good photoluminescence quantum yields, F<sub>PL</sub>, (49% - 68%) in mCP-doped films are reported for the emitters. The functionalized derivatives support a higher doping of 7 wt% before a fall-off in F<sub>PL</sub> is observed, in contrast with the parent compound, which undergoes ACQ at doping concentrations greater than 1 wt%. We find complex conformational dynamics, reflected in the time-resolved decay profile. D<i>E</i><sub>ST</sub> is modulated by N-substituents of the benzimidazole and ranges of between 0.22 eV and 0.32 eV in doped films. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations suggest the importance of intermediate triplet excited states to enhance the RISC rate. Vacuum-deposited organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), prepared using three of the four analogs show maximum external quantum efficiencies, EQE<sub>max</sub>, of 23.9%, 22.2% and 18.6% for <b>BIm(Me)PyPXZ</b>, <b>BIm(Ph)PyPXZ</b> and <b>BImPyPXZ</b>, respectively, with a correlated and modest efficiency roll-off at 100 cd m<sup>-2</sup> of 19% 13%, and 24% of the EQE<sub>max</sub>, respectively; higher maximum luminance values of 21,000 cd m<sup>-2</sup> and 18,000 cd m<sup>-2 </sup>are also obtained for <b>BIm(Ph)PyPXZ</b> and <b>BIm(Me)PyPXZ</b>, respectively, compared to 8,000 cd m<sup>-2</sup> for <b>BImPyPXZ</b>.</p>

Through-space charge transfer (CT) process is observed in Cu(I) carbene-metal-amide complexes, where conventional imidazole or imidazoline N-heterocyclic (NHC) carbene fragments act as inert linkers and CT proceeds between a metal-bound carbazole donor and a distantly situated carbene-bound phenylsulfonyl acceptor. The resulting electron transfer gives a rise to efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), characterized with high photoluminescence quantum yields (ΦPL up to 90 %) and radiative rates (kr) up to 3.32×105 s-1. TADF process is aided by fast reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) rates of up to 2.56×107 s-1. Such emitters can be considered as hybrids of two existing TADF emitter design strategies, combining low singlet-triplet energy gaps (ΔEST) met in all-organic exciplex-like emitters (0.0062−0.0075 eV) and small, but non-negligible spin-orbital coupling (SOC) provided by Cu atom, like in TADF-active organometallic complexes.
