The thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) behaviours of seventeen organic TADF emitters and two non-TADF chromophores bearing various donor and acceptor moieties were investigated, focusing on their torsion angles, singlet-triplet gap (ΔEST), spin orbit couplings (SOC) and topological ΦS index. Electronic structure calculations were performed in the framework of the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA) allowing to characterize reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) probability between the S1 and T1 states. In addition, experimental ΔEST data were taken into account to choose the most appropriate functional and basis set, while absorption spectra were obtained by considering vibrational and dynamical effects through a Wigner sampling of the ground state equilibrium regions. Examining all the parameters obtained in our computational study, we rationalized the influence of electron-donating and electron-accepting groups and the effects of geometrical factors, namely torsion angles, on a wide class of diverse compounds ultimately providing an easy and computationally effective protocol to assess TADF efficiencies.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
