Firstly, we check and confirm the formation and stabilization of hydrogen bonding interaction for DMP-HBT-py. Via optimized geometrical parameters of primary chemical bond and infrared(IR) spectra, we find O–H··· N hydrogen bond of DMP-HBT-py should be strengthened in S1 state. Insights into frontier molecular orbitals(MOs) analyses, we infer charge redistribution and charge transfer(ICT)phenomena motivate ESIPT trend. Via probing into potential energy curves(PECs) in related electronic states, we come up with the ultrafast ESIPT behavior due to low potential barrier. Furthermore, we search the reaction transition state(TS)structure, the ultrafast ESIPT behavior and mechanism of DMP-HBT-py compound can be re-confirmed. We sincerely wish this work could play roles in further developing novel applications based on DMP-HBT-py compound and in promoting efficient solid emitters in OLEDs in future.展开更多
