Intense, simultaneous, room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is observed in a series of donor-acceptor-donor (D–A–D) molecules. This dual-luminescence is stronger in the “angular” isomers, compared...

Regio- and conformational isomerization critical to design of efficient thermally-activated delayed fluorescence emitters. Nature Communications, 8, Article 14987. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14987

Regio- and conformational isomerization are fundamental in chemistry, with profound effects upon physical properties, however their role in excited state properties is less developed. Here two regioisomers of bis(10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)dibenzo[b,d]th...
