Abstract

We applied organic nanostructures based on thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) emitters for singlet oxygen generation. Due to the extremely small energy gaps between the excited singlet states (S₁) and triplet states (T₁) of these heavy-metal-free organic nanostructures, intersystem conversion between S₁ and T₁ can occur easily. This strategy also works well for exciplex-type TADF emitters prepared by mixing suitable donors and acceptors which have no TADF characteristics themselves.
