The hyperfluorescence (HF) system has drawn great attention in display technology. However, the energy loss mechanism by low reverse intersystem crossing rate (k) and the Dexter energy transfer (DET) channel is still challenging. Here, we demonstrate that this can be mitigated by the quadrupolar donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) sensitizer materials, DBA-DmICz and DBA-DTMCz. Further, the HF device with DBA-DTMCz and ν-DABNA exhibited 43.9% of high maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) with the Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage coordinates of (0.12, 0.16). The efficiency values recorded for the device are among the highest reported for HF devices. Such high efficiency is assisted by hindered DET process through i) high k, and ii) shielded lowest unoccupied molecular orbital with the presence of two donors in D-A-D type of skeleton. Our current study provides an effective way of designing TADF sensitizer for future HF technology.

Electronic excitation in quadrupolar conjugated molecules rapidly localizes on a single electron donor-acceptor (DA) branch when in polar environments. The loss of center of inversion upon this excited-state symmetry breaking (ES-SB) can be monitored by exploiting the relaxation of the exclusion rules for IR and Raman vibrational transitions. Here, we compare ES-SB in a right-angled () and a centrosymmetric () DAD dyes using time-resolved IR spectroscopy.

Charge transfer (CT) is key for molecular photonics, governing the optical properties of chromophores comprising electron-rich and electron-deficient components. In photoexcited dyes with an acceptor-donor-acceptor or donor-acceptor-donor architecture, CT breaks their quadrupolar symmetry and yields dipolar structures manifesting pronounced solvatochromism. Herein, we explore the effects of electronic coupling through biaryl linkers on the excited-state symmetry breaking of such hybrid dyes composed of an electron-rich core, , 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-]pyrrole (DHPP), and pyrene substituents that can act as electron acceptors.

Versatile coupling theories have been developed for rationalizing unusual aggregation phenomena of multipolar chromophores. Here, diverse excitonic couplings of a quadrupolar squaraine dye protonated by trifluoroacetic acid could be achieved and tuned unprecedentedly in different solvation media. Subtle changes of the solvent and ion pair influenced the aggregation of the donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D)-type SQC6 and led to significant variations in optical properties.

Understanding the structure-property relationships in organic semiconductors is crucial for controlling their photophysical properties and developing new optoelectronic materials. Quadrupolar molecules, donor-acceptor-donor (DAD), have attracted extensive attention in various optoelectronic applications. However, the systematic studies on the differences on photophysical properties between DAD and simple donor-acceptor (DA) chromophores are rarely reported.
