Article Abstract
Unlike boron, nitrogen-containing multi-resonance emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence, here we report boron, sulfur (B, S)-based multi-resonance emitters with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) by inserting thiophene into a 5,9-dithia-13-boranaphtho[3,2,1-]anthracene skeleton that simultaneously realizes large singlet-triplet energy splitting and strong spin-orbital coupling, leading to efficient room-temperature phosphorescence in an amorphous state. Unlike most RTP emitters with ultraviolet excitation, the multi-resonance RTP emitters exhibit strong phosphorescence under daily-use blue/white LED lamps owing to their intense absorption in the visible-light region (400-486 nm). Meanwhile, such RTP behavior can be tuned by the number and fusing pattern of the thiophene moieties, with the emitters containing thiophene linked to boron atoms α-positions exhibiting bathochromatically shifted emissions and longer phosphorescence lifetimes (47.7-119.4 ms) than those with β-position linkages. Given these features, amorphous RTP films with different emission colors and lifetimes are fabricated by dispersing the emitters in a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix, and their applications in multi-color anti-counterfeiting are presented. These findings thus open a way to develop multi-resonance emitters as a new family of pure organic RTP materials that can work in an amorphous state and under visible-light excitation.

The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) performance of multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters is fundamentally constrained by their slow reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) and pronounced aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Herein, through regioselective borylation, we design and synthesize a series of blue MR-TADF emitters. The regioisomerization-directed twist configuration synergistically enhances RISC while suppressing ACQ, without compromising spectral purity.

The development of efficient and stable ultra-narrowband pure-blue multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters is critical for next-generation wide-gamut OLED displays. Herein, we present a molecular design strategy that enhances emitter stability and efficiency by reinforcing the weak C─N bonds through selective incorporation of heterocyclic carbazole (Cz) units into the MR framework. Two proof-of-concept emitters, m-Cz-DABNA and tBu-Cz-DABNA, were synthesized via high-yield, lithium-free borylation.

Blue-emitting multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), high robustness with short-lived emission lifetime is particularly desired for the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this study, a series of MR-TADF molecules featuring fused boron/nitrogen (B/N) and C ═ O/N frameworks is reported. These emitters namely BNO, BNDO, and BNTO are systematically designed and synthesized to investigate the impact of molecular rigidity or planarity toward their excited-state dynamics through stepwise intramolecular electrophilic acylation reactions.

Strategies that produce OLEDs that simultaneously achieve outstanding electroluminescence efficiency, small efficiency roll-off, good stability, and high color purity remain in strong demand. Herein, we report how judicious decoration of a benzochalcogenophene onto the BCzBN core leads to an acceleration of reverse intersystem crossing (k) without sacrificing either color fidelity and photoluminescence quantum yield (Φ). Compared with BCzBN, the k of BN-S and BN-Se are accelerated to 2.
