Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters are attractive for display and lighting applications. Here, a series of highly efficient blue TADF emitters including 3,5-bis((3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol- 9-yl) phenyl)(pyridin-4-yl) methanone (4BPy-mDTC), (3,5-bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl) phenyl)(pyridin-3-yl) methanone (3BPy-mDTC), (3,5-bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl) phenyl)(pyridin2- yl) methanone (2BPy-mDTC) and (3,5-bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl) phenyl)(phenyl) methanone (BP-mDTC) were designed and synthesized. The molecular structures feature two meta carbazole substituents attached to a benzoylpyridine (BPy) group or to a benzophenone (BP) group. These compounds show high thermal stability (T-d = 371-439 degrees C), blue emissions (458-488 nm), high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) (75-96%) in thin films and very small energy gaps between S-1 and T-1 (Delta E-ST) of 0.01-0.05 eV. In addition, they all reveal TADF properties including small DEST, two components in the transient PL decays, prompt emission and temperature-dependent delayed emission. The BPy series appears to give much higher photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY > 92%) than BP-mDTC (75%) plausibly due to the more rigid structure caused by the interaction between pyridine nitrogen and the aromatic C-H bond. Furthermore, 4BPy-mDTC shows a more delayed component compared to 3BPy-mDTC and 2BPy-mDTC. The electroluminescent devices based on 4BPy-mDTC and 2BPy-mDTC as the dopant emitters exhibit sky blue emission with maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) over 28%, and current and power efficiency and maximum luminance up to 67.0 cd A(-1), 60.1 lm W-1 and 20 000 cd m(-2), respectively. The presence of the pyridine ring and the position of the nitrogen atom in the molecules are critical for the high quantum yield and device efficiency. The PLQY EQE and luminance are dramatically improved by changing the phenyl into a pyridine group in the dopant in these devices.
