Key Points

The aim is to assess the quantitative impact of higher-lying excited states on photophysical observables.
Analysis of photophysical systems involving higher-lying excited states
Quantitative modeling techniques applied to thermally activated delayed fluorescence
Identified that higher-lying excited states significantly influence photophysical observables
Demonstrated that neglecting these states leads to inaccurate predictions in TADF systems

Implication

Reveals the importance of higher-lying excited states in thermally activated delayed fluorescence, suggesting a need for updated models.

Abstract

Higher-lying excited states beyond S1 and T1 are widely recognized in many photophysical systems, including thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). However, their explicit and quantitative impact on photophysical observables such...
