Popis: A highly potent donor–acceptor biaryl thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) dye is accessible by a concise two-step sequence employing two-fold Ullmann arylation and a sequentially Pd-catalyzed Masuda borylation–Suzuki arylation (MBSA). Photophysical investigations show efficient TADF at ambient temperature due to the sterical hindrance between the donor and acceptor moieties. The photoluminescence quantum yield amounts to ΦPL= 80% in toluene and 90% in PMMA arising from prompt and delayed fluorescence with decay times of 21 ns and 30 μs, respectively. From an Arrhenius plot, the energy gap ΔE(S1– T1) between the lowest excited singlet S1and triplet T1state was determined to be 980 cm–1(120 meV). A new procedure is proposed that allows us to estimate the intersystem crossing time to ∼102ns.
