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%.

Herein, we report a mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed C–H functionalization method to synthesize a series of benzoquinone (BQ)-based charge-transfer (CT) derivatives in good yields. The optoelectronic properties of these compounds were explored both theoretically and experimentally and correlations to their structures were identified as a function of the nature and position of the donor group (meta and para) attached to the benzoquinone acceptor. Compound 3, where benzoquinone is para-conjugated to the diphenylamine donor group, exhibited thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) with a biexponential lifetime characterized by a prompt ns component and a delayed component of 353 μs.

A PPV-type polymer (1) incorporating 5,5�-diquinolinyl moieties is prepared by a Yamamoto homo-coupling reaction from the dibromide (2). Since all the hydroxyl groups were alkylated, this polymer showed high solubility in most organic solvents. It can be spin-coated readily to form a thin layer in the fabrication of light emitting diode (LED) devices. The adjacent quinoline rings are twisted to form a dihedral angle due to steric hindrance, so that π-conjugation is confined within each monomer unit. The emission spectra of (1) and (2) are nearly identical. The reduction potential of (1) was estimated to be –1.10 V (onset), with a band gap of 2.53 eV (490 nm). A single hetero-junction LED device fabricated by combining the films of poly(vinylkarbazol) (PVK) and (1) yielded promising results. The device ITO/PVK/(1)/Ca/Al exhibited a turn-on voltage at 6 V and reached a maximal brightness of 250 cd/m2 at 15 V. An alternate potential usage of (1) as an electron-injecting material was also explored on a green-light device using coumarin-6 as an emitter.

New photoluminescent donor–acceptor–donor (DAD) molecules, namely 5'-aryl-substituted 2,5-bis(3-decyl-2,2'-bithiophen-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles were prepared by palladium-catalyzed coupling from readily available compounds such as ethyl 3-decyl-2,2'-bithiophene-5-carboxylate and aryl halides. The obtained compounds feature increasing bathochromic shifts in their emission spectra with increasing aryl-substituent size yielding blue to bluish-green emissions. At the same time, their absorption spectra are almost independent from the identity of the terminal substituent with λmax values ranging from 395 to 405 nm. The observed trends are perfectly predicted by quantum chemical DFT/TDDFT calculations carried out for these new molecules.

We investigate a new strategy to enhance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Given that the TADF rate of a molecule depends on its conformation, we hypothesize that there exists a conformation that maximizes the TADF rate. In order to test this idea, we use time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to simulate the TADF rates of several TADF emitters, while shifting their geometries towards higher TADF rates in a select subspace of internal coordinates. We find that geometric changes in this subspace can increase the TADF rate up to three orders of magnitude with respect to the minimum energy conformation, and the simulated TADF rate can even be brought into the submicrosecond timescales under the right conditions. Furthermore, the rate enhancement can be maintained with a conformational energy that are within the reach of modern synthetic chemistry. Analyzing the maximum TADF conformation, we extract a number of structural motifs that might provide a useful handle on the TADF rate of a donor-acceptor (DA) system. The incorporation of conformational engineering into the TADF technology could usher in a new paradigm of OLEDs.
