Efficient Spin-Flip between Charge-Transfer States for High-Performance Electroluminescence,without an Intermediate Locally Excited State

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)materials with both high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)and fast reverse intersystem crossing(RISC)are strongly desired to realize efficient and stable organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).Control of excited-state dynamics via molecular design plays a central role in optimizing the PLQY and RISC rate of TADF materials but remains challenging.Here,3 TADF emitters possessing similar molecular structures,similar high PLQYs(89.5%to 96.3%),and approximate energy levels of the lowest excited singlet states(S1),but significantly different spin-flipping RISC rates(0.03 × 106 s-1 vs.2.26 × 106 s-1)and exciton lifetime(297.1 to 332.8 μs vs.6.0 μs)were systematically synthesized to deeply investigate the feasibility of spin-flip between charge-transfer excited states(3CT-1CT)transition.Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the small singlet-triplet energy gap together with low RISC reorganization energy between the 3CT and 1CT states could provide an efficient RISC through fast spin-flip 3CT-1CT transition,without the participation of an intermediate locally excited state,which has previously been recognized as being necessary for realizing fast RISC.Finally,the OLED based on the champion TADF emitter achieves a maximum external quantum efficiency of 27.1%,a tiny efficiency roll-off of 4.1%at 1,000 cd/m2,and a high luminance of 28,150 cd/m2,which are markedly superior to those of the OLEDs employing the other 2 TADF emitters.
