Abstract:
The novel carbazole-based multiresonance types of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters of mICz-DABNA and BFCz-DABNA are reported, and their spectroscopic properties are investigated with the inductive effect on the central nitrogen atom for pure and deep blue emission. With the introduction of electron-donating/-withdrawing properties of substituents, emitters exhibited the bathochromic/hypsochromic shifted emission, respectively, compared to simple carbazole-based MR-TADF. Moreover, their spectral bandwidths became narrower. Theoretical calculation indicated that the meta-positioned bulky moiety restricts the molecular geometry discrepancy and reduces the Huang-Rhys factors. Particularly, the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) with 3% BFCz-DABNA exhibited the maximum external quantum efficiency of 28.0% with the Commission International de l'Éclairage (CIE) of (0.13, 0.09), which is the best record value among single-boron MR-TADF devices of CIE y < 0.10.
