Abstract

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) of <superscript>12</superscript>C<subscript>70</subscript> and <superscript>13</superscript>C<subscript>70</subscript> was observed up to 140 °C in a p-tert-butyldihomooxacalix[4]arene solid matrix, a temperature range significantly higher than that of previous TADF quantitative studies. An effective singlet-triplet energy gap of 29 kJ/mol and triplet formation quantum yields of 0.97 and 0.99 were measured for <superscript>12</superscript>C<subscript>70</subscript> and <superscript>13</superscript>C<subscript>70</subscript>, respectively. The photophysical properties of the two fullerenes in this new matrix are comparable to those obtained in polystyrene at a lower temperature range. Calixarenes are proposed to be suitable matrices for high temperature TADF studies and applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
