The results show the through-space interactions of the title molecule decrease with the increasing of D,the through-space interactions of pi orbital are larger than that of sigma orbital. Furthermore, through-bond interactions of the pi orbtial and sigma orbital were analyzed basing on the calculations of the electronic structure of the title molecule. Both through-space and through-bond interactions are Large and,the net interactions are small. The calculated ionization potential energies of the title molecule which were obtained by transition-state procedure are in good agreement with the PE spectroscopy.展开更多

X-ray diffraction analysis of Ac PTC reveals that there exist multiple π-π interactions between the donor and acceptor groups to form a sandwich-like structural unit with edge-to-face interaction model. The compounds thus show obvious thermally activated delayed fluorescence with through-space charge transfer character and possess considerable photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 73% in doped films with sky-blue to yellow emissions. The solution-processed electroluminescent devices achieve the highest maximum external quantum efficiencies of 10.0%, 11% and 5.6% for Ac PTC, Px PTC and Pt PTC, respectively, with small efficiency roll-offs.展开更多
