Efficient circularly polarized multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence from B,N-embedded hetero[8]helicene enantiomers.

Helicene-based circularly polarized multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-MR-TADF) materials are promising for ultra-high-definition and 3D displays, but most of them encounter potential problems such as easy racemization during the thermal deposition process, low luminous efficiency, and low luminescence dissymmetry factor ( ), making the development of efficient circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) a significant challenge. Here, we report a pair of CP-MR-TADF enantiomers with high-order B,N-embedded hetero[8]helicene, (/)-BN-TP-ICz, by fusing two MR chromophores, DtCzB and indolo[3,2,1-]carbazole (ICz). BN-TP-ICz exhibits green emission in toluene with a peak of 531 nm and a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 36 nm.
