Abstract:
Enhancing the rate of reverse intersystem crossing ( krisc) and the rate of radiative transition ( kr) has been regarded as the key to improve molecular design strategy in the field of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. Herein, two sky-blue donor-acceptor (D-A)-type TADF materials, namely, CzDCNPy and tBuCzDCNPy, were designed following a strategy of controlling the energy difference among the charge-transfer singlet state (1CT), local exciton triplet state (3LE), and charge-transfer triplet state (3CT). Significantly different from most previously reported TADF materials, large values of kr and krisc and a nearly 100% exciton utilization efficiency were simultaneously achieved despite nonobvious delayed fluorescence and a large value of the singlet-triplet energy difference (Δ EST) being observed. This work presents a view that photoinduced delayed fluorescence and a small Δ EST are sufficient but not necessary for TADF materials. It also provides a reference that the high-energy 3LE state plays a key role in the RISC process in electroluminescence.

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
