Abstract
Three emissive bridged-triphenylamine derivatives are designed and synthesized by incorporating carbon (DQAO), oxygen (OQAO), and sulfur (SQAO) atoms with two carbonyl groups. The fully bridged geometry and unique frontier molecular orbital distribution reveal its potential as narrowband thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters. DQAO-, OQAO-, and SQAO-based organic light-emitting diodes exhibit the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 15.2%, 20.3%, and 17.8% for blue, green, and yellow, respectively.
