Acceleration of singlet-triplet intersystem crossings (ISC) is instrumental in bolstering triplet exciton harvesting of multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescent (MR-TADF) emitters. This work describes a simple gold(I) coordination strategy to enhance the spin-orbit coupling of green and blue BN(O)-based MR-TADF emitters, which results in a notable increase in rate constants of the spectroscopically observed ISC process to 3×10 s with nearly unitary ISC quantum yields. Accordingly, the resultant thermally-stable Au emitters attained large values of delayed fluorescence radiative rate constant up to 1.3×10 /1.7×10 s in THF/PMMA film while preserving narrowband emissions (FWHM=30-37 nm) and high emission quantum yields (ca. 0.9). The vapor-deposited ultrapure-green OLEDs fabricated with these Au emitters delivered high luminance of up to 2.53×10 cd m as well as external quantum efficiencies of up to 30.3 % with roll-offs as low as 0.8 % and long device lifetimes (LT ) of 1210 h at 1000 cd m .
单重态-三重态系间窜越(ISC)的加速对于增强多共振热激活延迟荧光(MR-TADF)发光体的三重态激子收集至关重要。这项工作描述了一种简单的金(I)配位策略,以增强绿色和蓝色基于BN(O)的MR-TADF发光体的自旋-轨道耦合,这导致光谱观测到的ISC过程的速率常数显著增加至3×10⁵ s⁻¹,ISC量子产率接近单位值。因此,所得的热稳定金发光体在THF/PMMA薄膜中获得了高达1.3×10⁶/1.7×10⁶ s⁻¹的延迟荧光辐射速率常数的大值,同时保持窄带发射(半高宽 = 30 - 37 nm)和高发射量子产率(约0.9)。用这些金发光体制备的蒸镀超纯绿色OLED具有高达2.53×10⁴ cd m⁻²的高亮度以及高达30.3%的外量子效率,滚降低至0.8%,在1000 cd m⁻²下的器件寿命(LT₅₀)长达1210小时。
