Abstract
Abstract Most organic room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitters do not show their RTP in solution. Here, we incorporated sulfur‐containing thiophene bridges between the donor and acceptor moieties in D 3 A‐type tristriazolotriazines (TTTs). The thiophene inclusion increased the spin‐orbit coupling associated with the radiative T 1 →S 0 pathway, allowing RTP to be observed in solution for all compounds, likely assisted by protection of the emissive TTT‐thiophene core from the environment by the bulky peripheral donors.
