Reverse intersystem crossing (RISC), originally considered forbidden in purely organic materials, has been recently enabled by minimizing the energy gap between the lowest singlet excited state (S<sub>1</sub>) and lowest triplet state (T<sub>1</sub>) in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) systems. However, direct spin-inversion between S<sub>1</sub> and T<sub>1</sub> is still inefficient when both states are of the same charge transfer (CT) nature (i.e. <sup>1</sup>CT and <sup>3</sup>CT, respectively). Intervention of locally excited triplet states (<sup>3</sup>LE) between <sup>1</sup>CT and <sup>3</sup>CT is expected to trigger fast spin-flip. Here, we report on the systematic-design of the ideal TADF molecules with near-degenerate <sup>1</sup>CT, <sup>3</sup>CT and <sup>3</sup>LE states by controlling the through-space distance between the donor and acceptor segments in a molecule with tilted intersegment angles. The new system realizes very fast RISC with a rate constant (<i>k</i><sub>RISC</sub>) of 1.2×10<sup>7</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>. The large <i>k</i><sub>RISC</sub> of the emitter resulted in great device performance in the applications to blue TADF assisted fluorescence organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as well as TADF-emitter OLEDs.<br>

We report an efficient deep-blue organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on a heptazine-based thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) emitter, 2,5,8-tris(diphenylamine)-tri-s-triazine (HAP-3DPA). The deep-blue-emitting compound, HAP-3DPA, was designed and synthesized by combining the relatively rigid electron-accepting heptazine core with three electron-donating diphenylamine units. Due to the rigid molecular structure and intramolecular charge transfer characteristics, HAP-3DPA in solid state presented a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 67.0% and obvious TADF nature with a short delayed fluorescent lifetime of 1.1 μs. Most importantly, an OLED incorporating HAP-3DPA exhibited deep-blue emission with Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.16, 0.13), a peak luminance of 10,523 cd/m−2, and a rather high external quantum efficiency of 12.5% without any light out-coupling enhancement. This finding not only reports an efficient deep-blue TADF molecule, but also presents a feasible pathway to construct high-performance deep-blue emitters and devices based on the heptazine skeleton.
