Herein, based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations coupled with the thermal vibration correlation function (TVCF) method, we study the excited-state properties and luminescence mechanisms of two reported TADF molecules (PXZ-R-BN and BCz-R-BN). Drawing inspiration from these, we theoretically design four novel red MR TADF molecules by donor engineering strategy with increased electron donation abilities and extended π-conjugations. To accurately predict the excited state energies of these MR TADF molecules, we employ the range-separated double hybrid density functional (B2PLYP), effectively refining the ∆E<sub>ST</sub> values. Results show that different donor groups influence the frontier molecular orbitals, thereby reducing the energy gaps. These adjustments effectively optimize the energy levels and transition properties of the excited states, leading to the substantial acceleration of the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) processes. Furthermore, the designed molecules with extended π-conjugations possess small reorganization energies and minimal nuclear displacements, coupled with short-range charge transfer characteristics. These features contribute significantly to the narrowband emissions. Therefore, it is verified that these four novel red MR TADF molecules strike a favorable balance between the ∆E<sub>ST</sub> and the FWHM values. Meanwhile, the intrinsic relationship between molecular structures and photophysical properties is elucidated, paving the way for developing novel and efficient red MR TADF emitters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10340,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Physics","volume":"94 ","pages":"Pages 736-750"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We proceed by taking into account a static sphere and develop the field equations for a charged anisotropic fluid configuration. The two generating functions are then considered and we rewrite the field equations in terms of the mass and these physical quantities.
