Article Abstract

The employment of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters is one of the most promising ways to realize the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of over 25% for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In addition, the TADF emitter based on oxygen-bridged boron (BO) fragment can maintain blue emission with high color purity. Herein, we constructed two blue TADF emitters, 3TBO and 5TBO, for OLEDs application. Both emitters consist of three donors linked at the oxygen-bridged boron acceptor. OLED devices based on 3TBO and 5TBO exhibited both high excellent device efficiency and high color purity with a maximum EQE; full-width at half-maximum (FWHM); and CIE coordinates of 17.3%, 47 nm, (0.120, 0.294), and 26.2%, 57 nm, (0.125, 0.275), respectively.

The 1,2-addition reactions involving CS and oxygen-bridged intramolecular G13/P-based (G13 = group 13 element) and B/G15-based (G15 = group 15 element) frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have been theoretically analyzed through density functional theory (DFT). Our DFT calculations suggest that of the nine FLP-assisted compounds, only B/P-Rea, Al/P-Rea, Ga/P-Rea, and In/P-Rea can kinetically and thermodynamically initiate energetically favorable 1,2-addition reactions with CS, forming five-membered heterocyclic adducts. Our findings from the activation strain model suggest that the atomic radius of the Lewis acceptor (G13) and donor (G15) is critical in setting the barrier heights needed for optimal orbital interactions between G13/P-Rea, B/G15-Rea, and CS.

Until now, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials based on bridged boron-based acceptors have been primarily developed as dopants. However, in this study, we synthesized and characterized multifunctional deep-blue TADF materials─t-OBO-DMAC and t-OBO-DPAC─using bridged boron-based acceptors in combination with dimethylacridine or diphenylacridine as donors. These materials serve as both dopants and hosts.

Up to now, highly efficient narrowband thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules constructed by oxygen-bridged boron with an enhancing multiple resonance (MR) effect have been in urgent demand for solid-state lighting and full-color displays. In this work, a novel MR-TADF molecule, BNBO, constructed by the oxygen-bridged boron unit and boron-nitrogen core skeleton as an electron-donating moiety, is successfully designed and synthesized via a facile one-step synthesis. Based on BNBO as an efficient green emitter, the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) shows a sharp emission peak of 508 nm with a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 36 nm and realizes quite high peak efficiency values, including an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 24.

Since their first demonstration, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have been emerged as the most promising emitters because of their promising applications in optoelectronics, typified by organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In which, the rigid oxygen bridged boron acceptor-featured (DOBNA) emitters have gained tremendous impetus for OLEDs, which is ascribed to their excellent external quantum efficiency (EQE). However, these materials often displayed severe efficiency roll-off and poor operational stability.
