X-irradiation of alkane solutions of N,N-dimethylaniline with various organic luminophores produces characteristic emission bands ascribed to the corresponding exciplexes. In contrast to optical generation, which requires diffusion-controlled quenching of excited states, an additional channel of exciplex formation via irreversible recombination of radical ion pairs is operative here, which produces exciplexes in solution with high efficiency even for p-terphenyl and diphenylacetylene having fluorescence decay times of 0.95 ns and 8 ps, respectively. The exciplex emission band is sensitive to an external magnetic field and exerts a very large observed magnetic field effect of up to 20%, the maximum possible value under the conditions of the described experiment.

Magnetic field effects (MFEs) in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have been shown to influence the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) and to impact on electroluminescence (EL) and conductivity. Here, we present a novel model combining Cole-Cole and Lorentzian functions to describe low and high magnetic field effects originating from hyperfine coupling, the Δg mechanism, and triplet processes. We applied this approach to organic light-emitting devices of third generation based on tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA) and 2,2',2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi), exhibiting blue emission, to unravel their loss mechanisms.

Organic materials typically do not phosphoresce at room temperature because both intersystem crossing (ISC) and phosphorescence back to the electronic ground state are slow, compared to the nonradiative decay processes. A group of organic guest-host molecules breaks this rule. Their phosphorescence at room temperature can last seconds with a quantum efficiency of over 10%.

We have shown that palladium-catalyzed cascade processes provide modular access to rigid quinoline-containing tetracyclic amines. This modular approach enables fine-tuning of the through-space charge transfer (TSCT) state formation between the lone pair localized on the nitrogen atom in the cage moiety and the quinoline moiety by variation of both the intramolecular -aryl distance and quinoline substitution. Decreasing this -aryl distance enhances the formation of the TSCT species, giving control over the emission color and photoluminescence quantum yield.

A spectral shift and new emission bands in the green and red regions have been observed in deep blue exciplex-based organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using carbazole-based materials, namely, tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA). To deeply understand the origin of these new bands, single-layer and bilayer TCTA-based OLEDs subjected to electrical and optical (ultraviolet (UV)) stresses were investigated by using various optical, electrical, morphological, and chemical measurements. The results showed that the stress-induced emission bands primarily originate from morphological changes rather than chemical changes.
