Long-Lived Emissive Hydrogen-Bonded Macrocycles: Donors Regulating Room-Temperature Phosphorescence and Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence

Zecong Ye et al.

Summary: Despite the wide range of applications of macrocycles in supramolecular chemistry, achieving long-lived emissions such as room-temperature phosphorescence or thermally activated delayed fluorescence remains challenging. In this study, hydrogen-bonded macrocycles were developed, which demonstrate room-temperature phosphorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence through the introduction of different donors onto a rigid acceptor containing aramide skeleton. The formation of charge transfer and the presence of aromatic carbonyl groups contribute to the enhanced photoluminescence efficiency and intersystem crossing, respectively. The reduced flexibility of the chromophores in the H-bonded macrocyclic framework suppresses nonradiative decay and stabilizes triplet excitons, resulting in the acquisition of room-temperature phosphorescence and thermally activated delayed fluorescence.

Indirect Control of Donor/Acceptor Interactions for Highly Efficient Space-Confined Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters

Zi-Qi Feng et al.

Summary: This study reports two TSCT-TADF emitters and successfully enhances their luminescent properties by controlling the molecular configuration without directly modifying the donor or acceptor. The emitter with the fluorine moiety exhibits more evident electrostatic repulsive force onto the central structure, resulting in higher external quantum efficiency.

Ji-Kun Li et al.

Summary: In this study, a new design strategy is proposed to achieve chiral nanographenes with high fluorescence quantum yields by helical pi-extension of strongly luminescent chromophores. The synthesized chiral nanographene, with perylene as the core and two dibenzo[6]helicene fragments as the wings, exhibits a record high fluorescence quantum yield of 93% among reported chiral nanographenes and excellent circularly polarized luminescence brightness of 32 M-1 cm(-1).

A New Platform of B/N-Doped Cyclophanes: Access to a π-Conjugated Block-Type B3N3 Macrocycle with Strong Dipole Moment and Unique Optoelectronic Properties

Pengfei Li et al.

Summary: In this article, we describe a new design principle for achieving B/N-doped cyclophane. By creating a macrocycle structure with a block of three triarylamines as electron-donor units and a block of three triarylboranes as electron-acceptor units, spatial separation is achieved on opposite sides of the pi-extended ring system. DFT computations reveal the distinct electronic structure and strong intramolecular charge transfer in the excited state of these block-type macrocycles.

Highly Efficient and Stable Blue Organic Light-Emitting Diodes based on Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorophor with Donor-Void-Acceptor Motif

Dongdong Zhang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel D-void-A structure for TADF emitters, which achieves high efficiency and blue-shifted emission by connecting D and A moieties at the void position between donor and acceptor segments. Compared to the contrast D-A isomers, the TADF emitter in this study exhibits more efficient and blue-shifted emission. Additionally, the involvement of the lower HOMO-2 of the acceptor segment in conjugation provides a wider energy gap.

Delayed fluorescence from inverted singlet and triplet excited states

Naoya Aizawa et al.

Summary: Hund's multiplicity rule predicts a positive energy gap between spin-singlet and spin-triplet excited states, but a fluorescent molecule reported in this study shows a negative singlet-triplet energy gap. This molecule exhibits delayed fluorescence with short time constants and its emissive singlet character leads to anomalous temperature dependence. Organic light-emitting diodes using this molecule demonstrate fast transient electroluminescence decay, indicating potential implications for optoelectronic devices.

Summary: Introducing a novel electron acceptor allows for the construction of two bright red light-emitting regioisomers, exhibiting different exciton dynamic processes. The energy gap, energy level alignment, and spin-orbit coupling effects of the molecule play a critical role in the triplet exciton up-conversion processes, leading to high-performance red OLEDs.

Identification of the Key Parameters for Horizontal Transition Dipole Orientation in Fluorescent and TADF Organic Light-Emitting Diodes

Francisco Tenopala-Carmona et al.

Summary: Horizontal orientation of the emissive transition dipole moment (TDM) in OLEDs can significantly improve light outcoupling efficiency. Determining the drivers of horizontal orientation, such as emitter molecule aspect ratio and glass-transition temperature (T-g), is crucial. While molecular weight and linearity are key parameters for neat systems, host T-g and emitter length and MW become more relevant in host-guest systems with low and high molecular weight emitters, respectively. Future research should aim to establish a comprehensive model of molecular orientation in OLEDs.
