Cyclophane Molecules Exhibiting Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence: Linking Donor Units to Influence Molecular Conformation (2020)
Journal Article
Hempe, M., Harrison, A. K., Ward, J. S., Batsanov, A. S., Fox, M. A., Dias, F. B., & Bryce, M. R. (2021). Cyclophane Molecules Exhibiting Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence: Linking Donor Units to Influence Molecular Conformation. Journal of Organic Chemistry, 86(1), 429-445. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.0c02174

The synthetic methodology to covalently link donors to form cyclophane-based thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules is presented. These are the first reported examples of TADF cyclophanes with “electronically innocent” bridges betw...

Manipulation of the emission properties of deep-blue emitters exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) through molecular design is challenging. We present an effective strategy to probe deeper into the role of localized (LE) and cha...

The influence of molecular conformation on the photophysics of organic room temperature phosphorescent luminophores. Journal of Materials Chemistry C Materials for optical and electronic devices, 10(34), 9238-9247. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8tc02987c

A series of novel donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) compounds featuring dibenzothiophene (DBT) and phenothiazine (PTZ) units are presented. A different degree of steric hindrance between the donor and acceptor fragments is achieved by the systematic chang...
