Abstract

Purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials generally exhibit low phosphorescence quantum yield (ϕP ) and long phosphorescence lifetime (τP ) due to the theoretically spin-forbidden triplet state. Herein, by introducing a donor-acceptor (D-A) skeleton with a phenoxaselenine donor, three nonaromatic amine donor containing compounds with high ϕP and short τP in amorphous films are developed. Besides the enhanced spin-orbit coupling (SOC) by the heavy-atom effect of selenium, the D-A skeleton which facilitates orbital angular momentum change can further boost SOC, and severe nonradiative energy dissipation is also suppressed by the rigid molecular structure. Consequently, a record-high external quantum efficiency of 19.5% are achieved for the RTP organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on 2-(phenoxaselenin-3-yl)-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (PXSeDRZ). Moreover, voltage-dependent color-tunable emission and single-molecule white emission are also realized. These results shed light on the broad prospects of purely organic phosphorescence materials as highly efficient OLED emitters especially for potential charming lighting applications.
