  abstract  = {This work revealed spin states that are involved in the light generation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that are based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). First, several donor:acceptor-based TADF systems forming exciplex states were investigated. Afterwards, a TADF emitter that shows intramolecular charge transfer states but also forms exciplex states with a proper donor molecule was studied. The primary experimental technique was electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in particular the advanced methods electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR), photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) and electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR). Additional information was gathered from time-resolved and continuous wave photoluminescence measurements.},

  abstract  = {Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) utilize molecular systems with a small energy splitting between singlet and triplet states. This can either be realized in intramolecular charge transfer states of molecules with near-orthogonal donor and acceptor moieties or in intermolecular exciplex states formed between a suitable combination of individual donor and acceptor materials. Here, 4,4′-(9H,9′H-[3,3′-bicarbazole]-9,9′-diyl)bis(3-(trifluoromethyl) benzonitrile) (pCNBCzoCF\(_{3}\)) is investigated, which shows intramolecular TADF but can also form exciplex states in combination with 4,4′,4′′-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine (m-MTDATA). Orange emitting exciplex-based OLEDs additionally generate a sky-blue emission from the intramolecular emitter with an intensity that can be voltage-controlled. Electroluminescence detected magnetic resonance (ELDMR) is applied to study the thermally activated spin-dependent triplet to singlet up-conversion in operating devices. Thereby, intermediate excited states involved in OLED operation can be investigated and the corresponding activation energy for both, intra- and intermolecular based TADF can be derived. Furthermore, a lower estimate is given for the extent of the triplet wavefunction to be ≥ 1.2 nm. Photoluminescence detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR) reveals the population of molecular triplets in optically excited thin films. Overall, the findings allow to draw a comprehensive picture of the spin-dependent emission from intra- and intermolecular TADF OLEDs.},
