Design and Synthesis of New Circularly Polarized Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters

This work describes the first thermally activated delayed fluorescence material enabling circularly polarized light emission through chiral perturbation. These new molecular architectures obtained through a scalable one-pot sequential synthetic procedure at room temperature (83% yield) display high quantum yield (up to 74%) and circularly polarized luminescence with an.absolute luminescence dissymmetry factor, vertical bar g(lum)vertical bar, of 1.3 X 10(-3). These chiral molecules have been used as an emissive dopant in an organic light emitting diode exhibiting external quantum efficiency as high as 9.1%.
