Main Methods:

• Functionalization of brominated B -containing multiple-resonance (MR) frameworks with various functional groups (donors, acceptors, etc.).
• Fabrication and characterization of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using the synthesized materials.

Main Results:

• The m-DPAcP-BNCz-based OLED achieved green emission with a narrow full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 28 nm.
• A maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 40.6% was recorded for the m-DPAcP-BNCz device.
• The material demonstrated a high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield and favorable horizontal emitting dipole orientation.

Conclusions:

• The developed synthetic approach enables the creation of high-efficiency narrowband emitters by integrating MR frameworks with donor-acceptor configurations.
• This methodology provides a versatile platform for constructing diverse and robust molecular architectures for advanced OLED applications.
• The findings offer valuable insights for designing next-generation organic electroluminescent materials for superior display technologies.
