Effect of intramolecular energy transfer in a dual-functional molecular dyad on the performance of solution-processed TADF OLEDs.

ABSTRACT: This paper introduces the design concept of a dual-functional molecular dyad tailored specifically for solution-processable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Cy-tmCPBN, characterized by an asymmetric molecular dyad structure, integrates a host unit (tmCP) and a multiple-resonance (MR) emitter (CzBN) via a non-conjugated cyclohexane linker. Cy-tmCPBN exhibited efficient intramolecular energy transfers (EnTs) from tmCP to the CzBN unit, as confirmed by time-resolved fluorescence experiments. The fluorescence lifetime of the tmCP unit was approximately three times shorter in a highly diluted solution of Cy-tmCPBN than in a mixed solution of Cy-tmCP and Cy-CzBN. In addition, Cy-tmCPBN exhibited excellent solubility and film-forming ability, making it suitable for solution processin
