Pure hydrocarbon (PHC) materials are a class of highly efficient and stable host materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), composed solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Despite recent great advancements in PHC research, their applications are still mainly limited to phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLEDs). Thus, expanding PHC materials into other types of OLEDs is critical for advancing organic electronics. In this study, we designed a series of high-triplet PHC materials based on a multi-substitution approach of the 9,9'-spirobifluorene (SBF) backbone and used them, for the first time, as host in blue-emitting phosphorescence-sensitized multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) OLEDs. Devices based on 2,6-Bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)boron (DtBuCzB) emitter, using FIrpic or fac-Ir(tpz)3 as the sensitizer, achieved high maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) values ranging from 29.1% to 33.9%. Additionally, blue MR-TADF OLED devices based on v-DABNA with a phosphorescent sensitizer (CN-Ir), demonstrated outstanding electroluminescent performance, with EQEmax of approximately 31% notably due to an excellent molecular orientation induced by the PHC hosts. All devices exhibited narrow full-width at half-maximum spectra and minimal efficiency roll-off. This study marks the first application of PHC hosts in phosphorescence-sensitized MR-TADF OLEDs, highlighting their potential as promising candidates for the next-generation of blue OLEDs.

In this article, two cobalt complexes bearing bidentate ligands, [Si,C]-chelate cobalt(I) complex [(Si,C)Co(PMe)] () and [P,C]-chelate cobalt(I) complex [(P,C)Co(PMe)] () were synthesized by activating Csp-H of the corresponding 2-(diphenylsilylenoaminomethyl) pyridine () PyN(Me)SiL (L = PhC(NBu)) or 2-(diphenylphosphinoaminomethyl) pyridine () PyN(Me)PPh with CoMe(PMe). The catalytic performance of complexes and for alkene hydrosilylation was studied. Because of the different electronic properties of the phosphine and the silylene pincer ligand, the catalytic effect of phosphine complex is superior to that of silylene complex as indicated by faster conversion and higher selectivity for most of the selected substrates.

It is generally accepted that the bound states in the continuum (BICs) are usually realized in a one-dimensional system by the TM-polarized light incident at Brewster's angle. However, the optimal BICs can be achieved only under specific incident light and at a specific polarization incident angle, which poses challenges to its experimental implementation. Serving this purpose, we design a system composed of an anisotropic material (AM) embedded in one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PhCs), demonstrating that both TE and TM waves can realize BICs.

The two-fold deprotonation of the C2-arylated 1,3-imidazolium salts (IPr-Ar)X (1-Ar)X (IPr-Ar = ArC{N(Dipp)CH}; Ar = Ph, 4-MeNCH (DMP) or 4-PhCH (Bp); Dipp = 2,6-iPrCH) with nBuLi affords the so-called anionic dicarbenes Li(ADC) (2-Ar) (ADC = ArC{N(Dipp)C}). 2-Ar can be used to prepare a variety of main group heterocycles, however their structures in the solid-state remained hitherto unknown. Herein reported single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal an acetylide type [ArC{N(Dipp)}(Dipp)NC≡CLi)] (3-Ar) dimeric (n = 2) or trimeric (n = 3) molecular structure for 2-Ar.

Background: NHS England issued commissioning guidance on 18 low-priority treatments which should not be routinely prescribed in primary care. We aimed to monitor the impact of an educational intervention delivered to regional prescribing advisors by senior pharmacists from NHS England on the primary care spend on low-priority items.

Methods: An opportunistic randomised, controlled parallel-group trial.
