Abstract:
Based upon two thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters 1 and 2, compounds 3-6 have been designed by replacing the carbazol group with the bis(4-biphenyl)amine one (3 and 4) and introducing the electron-withdrawing CF3 group into the acceptor unit of 3 and 4 (5 and 6). It is found that the present calculations predict comparable but relatively large energy differences (approximate 0.5eV) between the lowest singlet S1 and triplet T1 states (∆EST) for the six targeted compounds. In order to explain the highly-efficient TADF behavior observed in compounds 1 and 2, the"triplet reservoir" mechanism has been proposed. In addition, the fluorescence rates of all six compounds are very large, in 107-108 orders of magnitude. According to the present calculations, it is a reasonable assumption that the newly designed compounds 3-6 could be considered as the potential TADF emitters, which needs to be further verified by experimental techniques.
