Manipulating orientation of organic emitters remains a formidable challenge in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Here, expansion of the acceptor plane of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters was demonstrated to selectively modulate emitting dipole orientation. Two proof-of-the-concept molecules, PXZPyPM and PXZTAZPM, were prepared by introducing a planar 2-phenylpyridine or 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine substituent into a prototypical molecule (PXZPM) bearing a pyrimidine core and two phenoxazine donors. This design approach suppressed the influence of substituents on electronic structures and associated optoelectronic properties. Accordingly, PXZPyPM and PXZTAZPM preserved almost the same excited states and similar emission characteristics as PXZPM. The expanded acceptor plane of PXZPyPM and PXZTAZPM resulted in a 15 to 18% increase in horizontal ratios of emitting dipole orientation. PXZPyPM supported its green device exhibiting an external quantum efficiency of 33.9% and a power efficiency of 118.9 lumen per watt, competitive with the most efficient green TADF OLEDs reported so far.

We have investigated the solvent-dependence of structural changes along with intersystem crossing of a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule, 3,4,5-tri(9H-carbazole-9-yl)benzonitrile (o-3CzBN), in toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and acetonitrile solutions using time-resolved infrared (TR-IR) spectroscopy and DFT calculations. We found that the geometries of the S1 and T1 states are very similar in all solvents though the photophysical properties mostly depend on the solvent. In addition, the time-dependent DFT calculations based on these geometries suggested that the thermally activated delayed fluorescence process of o-3CzBN is governed more by the higher-lying excited states than by the structural changes in the excited states.<br>
