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 The charge-transfer (CT)-crystal naphthalene (N)-1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) was doped with various guest acceptors. CT-complexes of these acceptors with N are formed acting as a triplet energy trap in the crystal. This provides a method to investigate oriented CT-complexes ESR-spectroscopically. In favorable cases the hyperfine structure (Hfs) in the ESR-spectra can be resolved and interpreted. The Hfs of the complexes N-hexacyanobenzene and N-pentacyano-toluene show that in the crystalline complex the triplet electrons are distributed over no more than two molecules. This finding suggests a strong exciton-phonon-coupling which causes a breakdown of the inversion symmetry upon excitation. The spectra of naphthalene-s-trinitrobenzene (TNB) yield the spin density on the three equivalent protons of TNB and demonstrate that the triplet electrons are also equally distributed over the three nitrogen atoms.As further systems, complexes of extremely large CT-character, c12, in the triplet state are studied (e. g. N-chloranil).The data obtained from the measurements of the Hfs-and of the zero-field-splitting (ZFS) -parameters are compared, proving that previous models and approximations in deriving c12 are essentially correct. It is also shown that the ZFS-parameter D (A+D+) of the hypothetical purely ionic state is negative and for different complexes its value is very close to that obtained in earlier theoretical calculations (-0.027 cm-1).

The 1:1 phenanthrene-tetrachlorophthalic anhydride (P/TCPA) charge-transfer complex crystalizes with monoclinic symmetry, space group P21, with two magnetically inequivalent stacks in the unit cell. The noncentrosymmetric space group is very unusual for CT-complexes. The optical emission spectra at low temperature are characterized by a strong CT phosphorescence and a weak CT fluorescence and delayed fluorescence.The S1 band lies at 22 800 ± 100 cm-1, the T1 band at 21 200 ± 100 cm-1. Above 15 K triplet excitons, moving along the stacks are revealed by ESR. They have a CT character of about 30%, coinciding with that of the shallow X-traps found by ODMR at low temperatures. A further trap, with zero-field-splitting (zfs) parameters of D = ± 0.0617, E = + 0.0116 cm-1 has a much larger CT character of 50% as found in the isolated complex in low-temperature glass [1]. A structural model is proposed.

AbstractMolecular organic fluorophores are currently used in organic light-emitting diodes, though non-emissive triplet excitons generated in devices incorporating conventional fluorophores limit the efficiency. This limit can be overcome in materials that have intramolecular charge-transfer excitonic states and associated small singlet-triplet energy separations; triplets can then be converted to emissive singlet excitons resulting in efficient delayed fluorescence. However, the mechanistic details of the spin interconversion have not yet been fully resolved. We report transient electron spin resonance studies that allow direct probing of the spin conversion in a series of delayed fluorescence fluorophores with varying energy gaps between local excitation and charge-transfer triplet states. The observation of distinct triplet signals, unusual in transient electron spin resonance, suggests that multiple triplet states mediate the photophysics for efficient light emission in delayed fluorescence emitters. We reveal that as the energy separation between local excitation and charge-transfer triplet states decreases, spin interconversion changes from a direct, singlet-triplet mechanism to an indirect mechanism involving intermediate states.

The reactions of ketotifen fumarate (KT) with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as π acceptors to form charge transfer (CT) complexes were evaluated in this study. Experimental and theoretical approaches, including density function theory (DFT), were used to obtain the comprehensive, reliable, and accurate structure elucidation of the developed CT complexes. The CT complexes (KT-DDQ and KT-TCNQ) were monitored at 485 and 843 nm, respectively, and the calibration curve ranged from 10 to 100 ppm for KT-DDQ and 2.5 to 40 ppm for KT-TCNQ. The spectrophotometric methods were validated for the determination of KT, and the stability of the CT complexes was assessed by studying the corresponding spectroscopic physical parameters. The molar ratio of KT:DDQ and KT:TCNQ was estimated at 1:1 using Job’s method, which was compatible with the results obtained using the Benesi–Hildebrand equation. Using these complexes, the quantitative determination of KT in its dosage form was successful.

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.
