Homogeneously doped crystals of charge transfer (CT-) complexes were grown by incorporating aromatic guest donors in host CT-crystals. The host crystals contained 1,2.4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) as acceptor and deuterated aromatic electron donors. By using such doped crystals CT complexes in a well defined configuration may be studied. The triplet states of the guest complexes were used as ESR spectroscopic probes in order to determine the molecular arrangement in the host lattice. The zero-field-splitting (ZFS) parameters, D and E, of the triplet energy traps were determined and the degree of electron derealization in the triplet state was calculated from these values. In some cases a very strong guest host interaction (multicomplex formation) was established. A method for the determination of CT-triplet energies is described (accuracy 200 cm-1) . The phosphorescence spectrum of the anthracene-TCNB complex was obtained from the delayed emission spectra of different anthracene doped CT-crystals. The vibronic structure is identical to that of anthracene, while the O-O-band of the complex is blue shifted by 600 cm-1. It is shown that the undoped anthracene-TCNB crystal exhibits P-type delayed fluorescence and that the triplet exciton diffusion in this crystal is nearly temperature independent. In the undoped biphenyl-TCNB crystal E-type delayed fluorescence originating from the thermal depopulation of the mobile triplet excitons is established. The remarkable differences of the two types of triplet excitons are interpreted in terms of the different polarity in the triplet states of the two CT-crystals.

Abstract Spectra and decay-times of delayed fluorescence in anthracene single crystals doped with tetracene at concentrations ranging between 3·10-10 to 3·10-5 were measured (T = 300°K). The dependence of the relative intensities and the decay-times on the concentration is explained by a simple model: The triplet-excitons of the host-lattice are captured by triplet traps localized in the nearest neighbourhood of the guest molecules. Than, the energy either goes to the tetracene, or thermally stimulated back into the triplet exciton band. The energy transfer of singlet excitons is taken into the considerations. The differential-equations describing the model are approximative^ solved. The solutions are compared with the experimental results. From the measurements a transfer rate K= (1.1 ± 0.4) · 104 for singlet excitons is derived, corresponding to a velocity constant of ks = 5.5 · 1011 s-1 (at p = 0.7 ± 0.07). The transfer of triplet excitons is governt by the constant k = 2 · 1011 s-1 . This corresponds a diffusion constant of triplet excitons D= (1.25 ± 0.2) · 104 cm2 s-1 . The lifetime of the tetracene triplet state within the antracene lattice is found to be τ = ( 1.09 ± 0.1) · 10-3 s.

We present an overview over eight brightly luminescent Cu(I) dimers of the type Cu2X2(P∩N)3 with X = Cl, Br, I and P∩N = 2-diphenylphosphino-pyridine (Ph2Ppy), 2-diphenylphosphino-pyrimidine (Ph2Ppym), 1-diphenylphosphino-isoquinoline (Ph2Piqn) including three new crystal structures (Cu2Br2(Ph2Ppy)3 1-Br, Cu2I2(Ph2Ppym)3 2-I and Cu2I2(Ph2Piqn)3 3-I). However, we mainly focus on their photo-luminescence properties. All compounds exhibit combined thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and phosphorescence at ambient temperature. Emission color, decay time and quantum yield vary over large ranges. For deeper characterization, we select Cu2I2(Ph2Ppy)3, 1-I, showing a quantum yield of 81%. DFT and SOC-TDDFT calculations provide insight into the electronic structures of the singlet S1 and triplet T1 states. Both stem from metal+iodide-to-ligand charge transfer transitions. Evaluation of the emission decay dynamics, measured from 1.2 ≤ T ≤ 300 K, gives ∆E(S1-T1) = 380 cm−1 (47 meV), a transition rate of k(S1→S0) = 2.25 × 106 s−1 (445 ns), T1 zero-field splittings, transition rates from the triplet substates and spin-lattice relaxation times. We also discuss the interplay of S1-TADF and T1-phosphorescence. The combined emission paths shorten the overall decay time. For OLED applications, utilization of both singlet and triplet harvesting can be highly favorable for improvement of the device performance.

Thermally assisted delayed fluorescence (TADF) allows for efficient collection of both singlet and triplet excitons with both emitting through the singlet channel.  TADF opens the door to photo- and electroluminescence efficiencies close to 100%.
