Room-temperature phosphorescence from metal-free purely organic molecules has recently gained much interest. We devised phosphors by incorporating selenium (Se) to promote spin–orbit coupling its nonmetal heavy atom effect. The Se-based showed bright phosphorescent emission in light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photo-excited an amorphous film state. Large orbital angular momentum change (ΔL) during the electron transition process effect of Se render a PL quantum yield 0.33 ± 0.01 high...

The key factors determining the emission bandwidth of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) are investigated by combining computational and experimental approaches. To achieve high internal quantum efficiencies in a metal-free organic light-emitting diode via TADF, first triplet (T1) to singlet (S1) reverse intersystem crossing is promoted configuring molecules an electron donor–acceptor (D-A) alternation with large dihedral angle, which results small energy gap (ΔEST) between S1...
