Single
pure organic molecular white light emitters (SPOMWLEs) are of significance
as a new class of material for white lighting applications; however,
few of them are able to emit white electroluminescence from organic
light-emitting diodes. Herein, donor−π–acceptor
conjugated emitters, 2PQ–PTZ and 4PQ–PTZ, were designed
and synthesized as SPOMWLEs for white light emission considering the
distinct advantages of their conformation isomers. The coexistence
of conformational isomers in 2PQ–PTZ, which is the first experimental
evidence of the coexisting quasi-axial and quasi-equatorial conformers,
provides ideal flexibility to obtain white light emission from their
simultaneous and well-separated fluorescence and thermally activated
delayed fluorescence. With these remarkable properties, a 2PQ–PTZ-based
white light-emitting diode (LED) with a CIE of (0.32, 0.34) and color
rendering index (CRI) of 89 is demonstrated. Further, the white organic
light-emitting diode (OLED) of 2PQ–PTZ exhibits a high external
quantum efficiency (EQE) of 10.1%, which is the reported highest performance
among SPOMWLE-based OLEDs.
