A series of indolo[3,2-b]indole (IDID) derivatives are designed as a novel structural platform for thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters. Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-type molecules consisting IDID donor (D) and various acceptor (A) moieties synthesized characterized in the protocol systematical structure-property correlation. exhibit high efficiency, prompt well TADF with emission ranges tuned by chemical structure units.

Abstract A pure red‐emitting organic light‐emitting transistor (OLET) is successfully fabricated using a π‐extended dicyanodistyrylbenzene‐type semiconductor material (Hex‐4‐TFPTA), which shows outstanding charge transport and solid‐state luminescence at the same time. Based on structural (X‐ray) photophysical analyses, it found that appropriate molecular stacking highly allowed S 1 →S 0 transition of Hex‐4‐TFPTA created ambidextrous balance between electrical mobility ( µ e, FET ≈ cm 2 V −1...
A series of twisted triaryl-<italic>s</italic>-triazine derivatives are used as acceptor fragments in design deep-blue TADF emitters for OLED. Comprehensive photophysical investigations indicate high impact structural relaxation on the color and efficiency.
Charge-transfer (CT) crystals show unique transport and emission properties which are substantially different from those of individual electron donor (D) acceptor (A) molecules constituting them. While the CT well established as to enable interpretation prediction their electrical properties, photophysical processes—particularly emission–structure relationship in crystals—are much less explored; this is because often weak photoluminescence (PL), attributed small oscillator strength (f)...
