Theory and principles of luminescent organic radical materials for OLED and sensor applications
Organic luminescent radicals (OLRs) are quite rare emitters demonstrating doublet-doublet fluorescence and having a number of advantages towards practical applications in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), ratiometric fluorescence sensors and anti-counterfeiting labelling. The doublet-doublet fluorescence by OLRs is a spin-allowed process similarly to the common singlet-singlet fluorescence. But in contrast to closed-shell molecules for which “bright” excited singlet states are higher in energy than “dark” triplet states, the doublet excited states of OLRs are always lower in energy than the quartet states. That is why the theoretical limit for internal quantum efficiency of OLR-based…
