A new thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-displaying macrocyclic compound m-1 comprising of two electron-donors (N,N’-diphenyl-m-phenylenediamine) and two electron-acceptors (dibenzo[a,j]phenazine) has been synthesized. The macrocycle developed herein is regarded as a regioisomer of the previously reported TADF macrocycle p-1, which has two N,N’-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamines as the donors. To understand the influence of the topology of the phenylenediamine donors on physicochemical properties of TADF-active macrocycles, herein the molecular structure in the single crystals, photophysical properties, electrochemical behavior, and TADF properties of m-1 have been investigated compared with those of p-1. The substitution of p-phenylene donor with m-phenylene donor led to distinct positive solvatoluminochromism over the full visible-color range, unique oxidative electropolymerization, and slightly lower contribution of TADF, due to the lower CT character in the excited states.
