Abstract

Recent research has focused on the heavy-atom effect in organic luminescent materials, especially in multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters. Traditional strategies involve directly conjugating heavy atoms to the chromophore, which often broadens the emission spectrum. This study explores an unconventional approach using the through-space heavy-atom effect, positioning heavy-atom moieties with nonconjugated short-range interaction with the chromophore. This method successfully demonstrates the “intramolecular external heavy-atom effect” proposed in the 1970s in cutting-edge high-efficiency emissive materials. Comparative analysis of these emitters confirms the spatial heavy-atom effect, maintaining the spectroscopic properties of MR chromophore while significantly improving external quantum efficiency in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These emitters also mitigate efficiency roll-off, showcasing the potential of spatial interactions to enhance MR-TADF materials for OLED applications.

通过穿透空间重原子效应增强多共振热激活延迟荧光发射

近期研究的重点是有机发光材料中的重原子效应，尤其是多共振热激活延迟荧光（MR-TADF）发射器中的重原子效应。传统的策略是将重原子直接与发色团共轭，这往往会扩大发射光谱。本研究探索了一种非常规方法，即利用穿透空间重原子效应，定位与发色团具有非共轭短程相互作用的重原子分子。这种方法成功地将 20 世纪 70 年代提出的 "分子内外部重原子效应 "应用到了最先进的高效发射材料中。对这些发射器的比较分析证实了空间重原子效应，在保持 MR 发色团光谱特性的同时，显著提高了有机发光二极管（OLED）的外部量子效率。这些发射器还减轻了效率衰减，展示了空间相互作用在增强 MR-TADF 材料在有机发光二极管应用中的潜力。
