Controlling excited state properties to achieve fast reverse intersystem crossing rates of over 107 s-1 is still challenging for intramolecular through-space charge transfer (TSCT) based delayed fluorescent materials. To gain further insight into the relationship between through-space and through-bond charge transfer (TSCT/TBCT), herein, three compounds DPS-24Ac, DPS-25Ac and DPS-OAc were prepared and characterized via NMR, MS and single crystal, in which the diphenylsulfone (DPS) is used as the acceptor group and acridine (Ac) as the donor moiety. Intense emissions from blue to yellow with high emission efficiency of 70-100% are detected for all emitters. Both computations and experiments suggest that compounds DPS-24Ac and DPS-25Ac have a clear TSCT effect and also an inverted adiabatic singlet-triplet gap which can be explained by the kinetic exchange mechanism. Notably, compound DPS-24Ac achieves the highest reverse intersystem crossing rate constant (krISC) of over 107 s-1 via manipulation of both TSCT and TBCT effects. The solution-processed devices display maximum external quantum efficiencies of 21.73, 12.14 and 4.96% for DPS-24Ac, DPS-25Ac and DPS-OAc, respectively. Overall, this work provides a novel avenue to achieve highly-efficient OLED materials with fast rISC by controlling both TSCT and TBCT effects.

Through-space charge-transfer (TSCT) emitters have been extensively explored for thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), but arranging various donors and acceptors into rigid cofacial conformations for various efficient TSCT TADF emitters has still remained a challenge. Here we report for the first time a “fixing acceptor” design to reach various efficient TSCT TADF emitters. By chemically fixing the acceptor (benzophenone) with a rigid spiro structure and cofacially aligning various donors with the fixed acceptor, a series of efficient TSCT TADF emitters have been developed. Single-crystal structures and theoretical calculations have verified closely-packed cofacial donor/acceptor conformations and favorable TSCT in the emitters. The emitters afford sky-blue to yellow TADF emission in doped films, with high photoluminescent efficiencies of up to 0.92 and reverse intersystem crossing rates of up to 1.0×106 s−1. Organic light-emitting diodes using the emitters afford sky-blue to yellow electroluminescence with high external quantum efficiencies of up to 20.9%. The work opens a new avenue toward a wide variety of efficient TSCT TADF emitters.
