| Abstract: | Luminescent materials consisting of boron clusters, such as carboranes, have attracted immense interest in recent years. In this study, luminescent organic–inorganic conjugated systems based on o‐carboranes directly bonded to electron‐donating and electron‐accepting π‐conjugated units were elaborated as novel optoelectronic materials. These o‐carborane derivatives simultaneously possessed aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) capabilities, and showed strong yellow‐to‐red emissions with high photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of up to 97 % in their aggregated states or in solid neat films. Organic light‐emitting diodes utilizing these o‐carborane derivatives as a nondoped emission layer exhibited maximum external electroluminescence quantum efficiencies as high as 11 %, originating from TADF. |
