Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Mechanism of a Bicyclic "Carbene-Metal-Amide" Copper Compound : DFT/MRCI Studies and Roles of Excited-State Structure Relaxation
Herein we investigated the luminescence mechanism of one "carbene-metal-amide" copper compound with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) using density functional theory (DFT)/multireference configuration interaction, DFT, and time-dependent DFT methods with the polarizable continuum model. The experimentally observed low-energy absorption and emission peaks are assigned to the S1 state, which exhibits clear interligand and partial ligand-to-metal charge-transfer character. Moreover, it was found that a three-state (S0, S1, and T1) model is sufficient to describe the TADF mechanism, and the T2 state should play a negligible role. The calculated S1-T1 energy gap of 0.10 eV and proper spin-orbit couplings facilitate the reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) from T1 to S1. At 298 K, the rISC rate of T1 → S1 (∼106 s-1) is more than 3 orders of magnitude larger than the T1 phosphorescence rate (∼103 s-1), thereby enabling TADF. However, it disappears at 77 K because of a very slow rISC rate (∼101 s-1). The calculated TADF rate, lifetime, and quantum yield agree very well with the experimental data. Methodologically, the present work shows that only considering excited-state information at the Franck-Condon point is insufficient for certain emitting systems and including excited-state structure relaxation is important.
