Popis: Efficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) is an important process for thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) to suppress efficiency roll-off in organic LEDs (OLEDs). Enhancing spin–orbit coupling is effective for fast RISC and is achieved by mediating a locally excited triplet state when RISC occurs between charge transfer states. Here, we experimentally confirmed that efficient RISC occurred in triarylborane-based TADF emitters named Phox- ^Me π , Phox- ^MeO π , and ^MeO3 Ph- ^FMe π . The three emitters showed large RISC rate constants exceeding 10 ^6 s ^−1 . The Phox- ^Me π -based OLED exhibited higher maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE _max = 10.0%) compared to the Phox- ^MeO π -based OLED (EQE _max = 6.7%).
