Abstract
Multifunctional thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials are currently a trending research subject for luminescence layer materials of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Among these, circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) materials have the advantage of being able to directly achieve highly efficient circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). The simultaneous integration of outstanding luminescence efficiency and excellent luminescence asymmetry factor (glum) is a major constraint for the development of CP-TADF materials. Therefore, on the basis of first-principles calculations in conjunction with the thermal vibration correlation function (TVCF) method, we study CP-TADF molecules with different donors to explore the feasibility of using the donor substitution strategy for optimizing the CPL and TADF properties. The results indicate that molecules with the phenothiazine (PTZ) unit as the donor possess small energy difference, a great spin-orbit coupling constant and a rapid reverse intersystem crossing rate, which endow them with remarkable TADF features. Meanwhile, compared with the reported molecules, the three designed molecules exhibit better CPL properties with higher glum values. Effective molecular design strategies by donor engineering to modulate the CPL and TADF properties are theoretically proposed. Our findings reveal the relationship between molecular structures and luminescence properties of CP-TADF molecules and further provide theoretical design strategies for optimizing the CPL and TADF properties.

Abstract
Chiral B/N embedded multi-resonance (MR) emitters open a new paradigm of circularly polarized (CP) organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) owing to their unique narrowband spectra. However, pure-red CP-MR emitters and devices remain exclusive in literature. Herein, by introducing a B-N covalent bond to lower the electron-withdrawing ability of the para-positioned B-π-B motif, the first pair of pure-red double hetero-[n]helicenes (n = 6 and 7) CP-MR emitter peaking 617 nm with a small full-width at half-maximum of 38 nm and a high photoluminescence quantum yield of ≈100% in toluene is developed. The intense mirror-image CP light produced by the enantiomers is characterized by high photoluminescence dissymmetry factors (gPL ) of +1.40/-1.41 × 10-3 from their stable helicenes configuration. The corresponding devices using these enantiomers afford impressive CP electroluminescence dissymmetry factors (gEL ) of +1.91/-1.77 × 10-3 , maximum external quantum efficiencies of 36.6%/34.4% and Commission Internationale de I'Éclairage coordinates of (0.67, 0.33), exactly satisfying the red-color requirement specified by National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) standard. Notably a remarkable long LT95 (operational time to 95% of the initial luminance) of ≈400 h at an initial brightness of 10,000 cd m-2 is also observed for the same device, representing the most stable CP-OLED up to date.

Abstract
Organic materials featuring circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and/or afterglow emission represent an active research frontier with promising applications in various fields, but the achievement of high-performance CPL organic afterglow (CPOA) remains a huge challenge due to the intrinsic contradictions between the luminescent lifetime/dissymmetry factor (glum) and phosphorescent quantum efficiency (PhQY). Herein, we report a simple and universal approach to design efficient CPOA from amorphous copolymers by incorporating chiral chromophores into a nonconjugated clusterization-triggered emissive polymer with plenty of hydron-bonding interactions, followed by aggregation engineering using water dissolution and evaporation. With this chiral copolymerization and aggregation engineering (CCAE) strategy, high-performance CPOA polymers with PhQYs of up to 6.32%, ultralong lifetimes of over 650 ms, glum values of 3.54 × 10-3, and the highest figure-of-merit were achieved at room temperature. Given the impressive CPOA performance of these polymers, the applications in multilevel data anticounterfeiting and reversible displays with high stability were demonstrated. These findings through the CCAE strategy to overcome the inherent restraints of CPOA materials lay the foundation for the development of amorphous polymers with superior CPOA, significantly expanding the understanding of CPL and the design of organic afterglow materials.

Abstract
Based on the tetraphenylsilane skeleton, a new class of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules have been designed and synthesized. Benefiting from the unique tetrahedron architecture of tetraphenylsilane, the intermolecular distance between TADF units can be enlarged and thus weakened the aggregation-induced quenching of triplet excitons. By adjusting the numbers of TADF subunits, the spin-orbit coupling processes can be controlled, leading to efficient up-conversion processes. The related OLEDs are fabricated through the solution processing technology, and pure-blue and green electroluminescence were observed with maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEmax) of 6.6 and 13.8% as well as Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of (0.14, 0.15) and (0.25, 0.45), respectively. This study provides a new idea for designing color-tunable TADF emitters through spatial structure regulation.

Abstract
Circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) is generally produced in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on special CP luminescent (CPL) materials, while common achiral luminescent materials are rarely considered to be capable of direct producing CP-EL. Herein, near ultraviolet CPL materials with high photoluminescence quantum yields and good CPL dissymmetry factors are developed, which can induce blue to red CPL for various achiral luminescent materials. Strong near ultraviolet CP-EL with the best external quantum efficiencies (ηext s) of 9.0 % and small efficiency roll-offs are achieved by using them as emitters for CP-OLEDs. By adopting them as hosts or sensitizers, commercially available yellow-orange achiral phosphorescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and multi-resonance (MR) TADF materials can generate intense CP-EL, with high dissymmetry factors and outstanding ηext s (30.8 %), demonstrating a simple and universal avenue towards efficient CP-EL.

Abstract
Preparing high-efficiency solution-processable orange-red thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters remains challenging. Herein, we design a series of emitters consisting of trinaphtho[3,3,3]propellane (TNP) core derivatized with different TADF units. Benefiting from the unique hexagonal stacking architecture of TNPs, TADF units are thus kept in the cavities between two TNPs, which decrease concentration quenching and annihilation of long-lived triplet excitons. According to the molecular engineering of TADF and host units, the excited states can further be regulated to effectively enhance spin-orbit coupling (SOC) processes. We observe a high-efficiency orange-red emission at 604 nm in one instance with high SOC value of 0.862 cm-1 and high photoluminescence quantum yield of 70.9%. Solution-processable organic light-emitting diodes exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency of 24.74%. This study provides a universal strategy for designing high-performance TADF emitters through molecular packing and excited state regulation.

Abstract
A series of chiral Schiff-base boron difluoride complexes was synthesized and their photophysical properties were examined. These complexes showed multi-colour (blue, yellow and red) photoluminescence in solution and in the solid state with good emission quantum yield (Φ) depending on the π-systems of the ligands. The chiral complexes exhibited circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with an absolute luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of up to the 1.3 × 10-3 in solution and 1.9 × 10-2 in the drop-cast film state. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (TD) DFT calculations were conducted to further understand the photophysical properties.

Abstract
Two novel chiral conjugated polymers R-P and S-P designed and synthesized from a pair of circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) enantiomers are presented in this work. The two polymers exhibited excellent TADF properties with small singlet-triplet energy gaps (ΔEST) of 0.045 and 0.061 eV and relatively high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 72 and 76%, respectively. Besides, intense mirror-image circularly polarized luminescence signals were detected from R-P and S-P in both solution and film states with dissymmetry factors (|glum|) of up to 1.9 × 10-3. Furthermore, solution-processed circularly polarized polymer light-emitting diodes (CP-PLEDs) fabricated with R-P and S-P achieved high maximum external quantum efficiencies of 14.9 and 15.8% and high maximum brightness (Lmax) of 8940 and 12,180 cd/m2 with yellowish-green emission peaks at 546 and 544 nm, respectively. Moreover, intense circularly polarized electroluminescence signals with electroluminescence dissymmetry factors (gEL) of -1.5 × 10-3 and +1.6 × 10-3 were detected from the CP-PLED devices fabricated with R-P and S-P, respectively.

Abstract
Chirality of 1,1'-binaphthol (BINOL) is due to the restricted rotation between two naphthalene rings, and its skeletal structure of binaphthyl unit can be further modified by choosing functionalized substituents to afford the enlarged chiral induction effect. In this paper, we designed and synthesized nine chiral binaphthyl derivatives (R/S-1-R/S-9) as circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) inducers by inserting various bridged alkyl chains into the hydroxyl groups of BINOL or introducing functionalized substituents with different steric hindrances on the 3,3'-position of 2,2'-methylenedioxy-1,1'-binaphthalene. Their molecular conformations and CPL behaviors of nine chiral inducers were significantly dependent on the length of the alkyl chain and the degree of substituent steric hindrance, which could further regulate their chiral induction effect on achiral fluorescent polymer F8BT from small to large in the doped films. Moreover, in virtue of the planar rigid conjugated molecular conformation of R/S-1, R/S-6, and R/S-9, the amplified CPL signals (|gPL|) were detected as high as 2.36 × 10-2, 2.06 × 10-2, and 1.26 × 10-2 from blends of F8BT and these chiral inducers. The circularly polarized organic light-emitting diode (CP-OLED) device on the blends of F8BT and chiral inducers (R/S-6) with small dihedron angle and excellent carrier mobility showed a low turn-on voltage (Von < 4.5 V), high brightness (> 10509.6 cd/m2), and maximum |gEL| value of 1.86 × 10-2 (F8BT + 5% R/S-6). This work can develop and provide a valuable reference for CP-OLED device design through chiral dopant induction.
