“…Donor–acceptor derivatives of imidazole containing diphenylimidazole [ 22 , 23 ], pyrene-imidazole [ 24 , 25 , 26 ], phenanthroimidazole [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], benzimidazole [ 35 , 36 ], and theobromine [ 37 ] exhibit specific localization of molecular orbitals due to highly twisted molecular geometry and conformations. Consequently, these compounds can form a hybridized local charge transfer state (HLCT) [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ] that can be exploited for practical electroluminescent applications, including blue-emitting OLEDs. Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in the use of HLCT compounds including imidazole derivatives [ 34 , 38 ] as hosts in systems utilizing prompt fluorescent [ 34 ], TADF [ 39 ], phosphorescent [ 38 , 39 ] and HLCT [ 40 ] emitters.…”
