Overview

Spectroscopic and device study reveals donor relocation enables strong absorption and small singlet-triplet gaps in naphthalimide emitters, suggesting a new design rule for delayed fluorescence.

Key Points

To resolve the fundamental trade-off between strong charge-transfer absorption and a small singlet-triplet energy gap in organic delayed fluorescence emitters.
Synthesized three 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives (SD1, SD2, SD3) with distinct donor attachment positions.
Investigated excited-state kinetics and vibronic dynamics using 35-femtosecond ultrafast spectroscopy.
Fabricated and tested organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices based on the SD2 emitter.
Relocating the donor substituent in SD2 and SD3 dramatically increased charge-transfer absorption and extended vibronic coherence lifetimes from ~3 ps (in SD1) to ~6 ps.
SD2 and SD3 exhibited delayed fluorescence mediated by strong spin-orbit coupling (4.5–10 cm⁻¹) and small singlet-triplet energy gaps.
SD2-based OLEDs achieved a maximum external quantum efficiency of 3.2%, a turn-on voltage of 2.8 V, and a maximum luminance of 6900 cd m⁻².
