Organic Molecules with Inverted Gaps between First Excited Singlet and Triplet States and Appreciable Fluorescence Rates

Abstract: One of the recent proposals for the design of state-of-the-art emissive materials for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is the principle of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The underlying idea is to enable facile thermal upconversion of excited state triplets, which are generated upon electron-hole recombination, to excited state singlets by minimizing the corresponding energy difference resulting in devices with up to 100% internal quantum efficiencies (IQEs). Ideal emissive materials pote… Show more

“…More importantly, it is robust, can be used in a black-box manner, and is readily deployed in simulations of tens of thousands of molecules with minimal failure rates . However, one pernicious failure mode of TD-DFT is the description of excited states with significant double-excitation character, which is, inter alia , important in describing molecules with inverted singlet–triplet gaps, , such as the INVEST emitters recently described by our group . Nevertheless, as computing power is increasing, more sophisticated ab initio approaches can be used in HTVS, allowing one to tackle ever more complicated problems and new material classes.…”

“…The substituted derivatives of heptazines are notorious for thermally activated delayed fluorescence and the very close positioning of the triplet state relative to the singlet one is at the origin of this phenomenon. 55,56 Consequently, the fluorescence and phosphorescence bands of the ligand may be nearly perfectly superposed. The presence of thermally activated delayed fluorescence is easily demonstrated by the presence of a biphasic decay (two slopes) where the short component is in the ps/short ns time scale (fluorescence), whereas the long one is in the μs one.…”

“…Consequently, traditional TD-DFT methods for studying excited states miserably fail in describing singlet-triplet inversion, as was noted early on. 2,46,47 To address ST-inversion, high-quality but computationally demanding methods are typically used, spanning from ADC(2), [2][3][4]7,8 CC2, 2,3,8,9 EOM-CCSD, 2,4,5,48,49 Mukherjee's multireference coupled-cluster with noniterative triple excitations (Mk-MRCCSD(T)), 50 CC3, 51 Green's functions methods, 10 CIS(D), 3,6 SA-CASSCF, 3,8,50 and NEVPT2. 3,4,8,50 We adopt a different strategy and conduct an extensive study of various triangular boron carbon nitrides using the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) model Hamiltonian to account for correlated electrons in π-conjugated molecules.…”

The model dates back to the 1950s, [52][53][54] and was able to effectively describe ground state as well as excited state properties of several small organic molecules.…”
