V-shaped donor-acceptor organic emitters. A new approach towards efficient TADF OLED devices

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Mar 2;59(19):2815-2818. doi: 10.1039/d2cc06978d.

Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of donor-acceptor TADF emitters with a new architecture, where the donor moiety and the dibenzazepine-based acceptor moiety are separated by a phenylene linker in a V-shaped spatial arrangement. Such spatial separation and electronic decoupling between the donor and the acceptor moieties leads to low singlet-triplet energy gaps and favors efficient exciton up-conversion.
