N-heterocyclic carbene-stabilized Cu9 clusters with combined thermally activated delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence

Inorg. Chem. Front., 2024, 11,2498-2507
DOI: 10.1039/D4QI00160E, Research Article
Lin-Mei Zhang, Mo Xie, Hui-Zhi Wei, Shang-Fu Yuan, Dong-Sheng Li, Tao Wu
Two NHC-stabilized Cu9 clusters showcase both TADF and direct phosphorescence in thermal equilibrium. The combined harvesting mechanism arises from the simultaneous presence of a small ΔE(S1 − T1) gap and relatively strong spin–orbit coupling.
