Near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting materials show excellent potential applications in the fields of military technology, bioimaging, optical communication, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), Recently, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters have made historic developments in the field of OLEDs. These metal-free materials are more attractive because of efficient reverse intersystem crossing processes which result in promising high efficiencies in OLEDs. However, the development of NIR TADF emitters has progressed at a relatively slower pace which could be ascribed to the difficult promotion of external quantum efficiencies. Thus, increasing attention has been paid to NIR TADF emitters. In this review, the recent progress of NIR TADF emitters has been summarized along with their molecular design strategies and photophysical properties, as well as electroluminescence performance data of their OLEDs, respectively.

With the rapid development of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials, achieving efficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) to mitigate triplet-triplet annihilation has emerged as a prominent research focus. This study investigates five derivative molecules, featuring varied bridging atoms/groups (O, S, Se, -CH-), designed from the reported TADF molecule with through-space charge transfer (TSCT) properties. Utilizing time-dependent density functional theory coupled with a PCM solution model, their excited state behaviors were simulated in a toluene environment.

Multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are preferred for their high efficiency and high colour purity in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the design strategies of MR-TADF emitters in the red region are very limited. Herein, we propose a concept for a paradigm shift in orange-red/deep-red MR emitters by linking the outer phenyl groups in a classical MR framework through intramolecular sulfur (S) locks.

Ultra-narrowband and highly modifiable multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are crucial for realizing high-performance wide-color-gamut display applications. Despite progress, most MR-TADF emitters remain confined to blue and green wavelengths, with difficulties extending into longer wavelengths without significant spectral broadening, which compromises color purity in full-color organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. In this work, we present a novel tetraazacyclophane-based architecture embedding dual boron atoms to remarkedly enhance intramolecular charge transfer through the strategic positioning of boron and nitrogen atoms.

Circularly polarized multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-MR-TADF) materials have received widespread attention in recent years, but it remains a formidable challenge to design high-performance CP-MR-TADF emitters concurrently exhibiting high quantum efficiency, narrowband emission, and high dissymmetry factor (). Here, we perform an in-depth theoretical investigation on the CP-MR-TADF materials based on [2.2] paracyclophane (pCp) derivatives.

To experimentally investigate the impact of macrocyclic structures on the nonradiative decay rate constants () of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), a macrocyclic molecule L-ring and its analogue NL-ring were designed and synthesized. The photophysical measurements reveal their TADF characteristics, and the of the L-ring (4.19 × 10 s) is slower than that of the NL-ring (1.
