The molecular photophysics and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in spiro compounds are distinct because of the rigid orthogonal C–C bridging bond between donor and acceptor. The photophysics is found to be highly complex, with unpreced...

We describe the photophysical processes that give rise to thermally activated delayed fluorescence in the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecule, triquinolonobenzene (TQB). Using transient absorption and time-resolved photolumi...
