Article Abstract
Exciplex systems are promising candidates for thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules because of the small energy difference between the lowest singlet and triplet excited states (ΔE). However, realizing high-efficiency and low-external-quantum-efficiency (EQE) roll-off in solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using an exciplex system remains a formidable challenge. In this study, two (HLCT)-type isomers with a spiro skeleton, 2-BuspoCz-TRZ and 10-BuspoCz-TRZ, are designed and synthesized as acceptors of exciplexes, where tert-butylspirofluorene indole is regarded as a donor and the triazine unit as an acceptor. Green exciplex emissions are observed for the 2-BuspoCz-TRZ:TAPC and 10-BuspoCz-TRZ:TAPC exciplexes, indicating distinct TADF characteristics with a very small ΔE of 35 ± 5 meV. By using the TADF exciplex system based on the HLCT acceptor as an emitter, solution-processable OLEDs achieve a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.8%. Furthermore, a high EQE > 25% with a very low-efficiency roll-off (≈3.5% at 1000 cd m) is obtained for solution-processable phosphorescent devices using HLCT-based exciplexes as the host matrix of phosphors. This study paves the way for a novel strategy for designing acceptor exciplex molecules for effective TADF molecules and host matrices in solution-processable OLEDs.

Porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a unique platform for building porous donor-acceptor networks that exhibit long-lived charge separation and transport upon incorporation of electron acceptor guest species. Here, porphyrin-based MOFs, PCN-222-(H) and PCN-222-(Zn), synthesized as nanoparticle suspensions, are successfully infiltrated with fullerene acceptor molecules, C or PCBM, in both polar and nonpolar solvent environments. The location and relative binding strength of these guest species are evaluated through a combination of N physisorption measurements, photoluminescence quenching, and UV-vis absorption titration experiments.

Ultrafast long-range energy transfer with unitary quantum-yield has been studied in a novel family of artificial DNA-guided multichromophoric antenna complexes with phenanthrene moieties as light harvesters. By means of femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and time-dependent density function theory calculations, we demonstrate that the highly efficient long-range energy transfer occurs via a coherent mechanism. It is enabled by photoexcitation of higher lying delocalized excited states of phenanthrene, and hence, can be labelled anti-Kasha in nature.

Multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters are beneficial for color pure organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their narrow emission bandwidths. Understanding the photophysics of these materials is crucial for developing devices with better performance. In this letter, we demonstrate the excited state photophysical properties of the MR-TADF emitter OQAO(mes) embedded in different host matrices with different polarities, including the OLED-relevant hosts.

Chiral organic luminescent materials are promising candidates as direct emitting layers (EMLs) in circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs). However, most conventional systems suffered poor thermal stability of chiral configurations and low luminescent dissymmetry factors. Herein, we reported a pair of triptycene-bridged enantiomers with a point chirality and a donor-acceptor architecture.

The development of polymeric afterglow materials has garnered significant interest due to their promising applications in sensing technologies, smart devices, and optoelectronic systems. However, conventional engineering plastics typically exhibit limited afterglow properties owing to rapid nonradiative decay processes under ambient conditions. This study presents a breakthrough in the fabrication of plastics with 24-h-long afterglow (HLA) properties through a molecular doping strategy compatible with industrial engineering processes.
