Intramolecular through-space charge transfer thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TSCT-TADF) has attracted much attention recently as it can achieve both small energy splitting and high emission efficiency. However, the relationship of excited states between TSCT and through-bond charge transfer (TBCT) remains a challenge in the TSCT-TADF molecules. Herein, three compounds DPS-m-bAc, DPS-p-bAc, and DPS-OAc that possess emissive TSCT and/or TBCT states are prepared. Interestingly, a so-called inverted energy gap is found for both DPS-m-bAc and DPS-p-bAc in toluene solution, which results from the different charge transfer states of ICT_high and ICT_low, as proved by the detailed transient photoluminescence and calculated results. Intense emission from blue to yellow associated with high photoluminescence quantum yields of 70–100% are measured in doped polymethyl(methacrylate) (PMMA) films. Notably, compound DPS-m-bAc achieves the highest reverse intersystem crossing rate constant (k_RISC) of over 10⁷ s⁻¹ in a PMMA film, benefiting from close-lying TSCT and TBCT states. The solution-processed device with DPS-m-bAc displays a maximum external quantum efficiency of 21.7% and a relatively small efficiency roll-off (EQE of 20.2% @ 100 cd m⁻²). Overall, this work demonstrates how with judicious emitter engineering, a synergy between different charge transfer excited states, can be achieved, providing an avenue to achieve highly efficient solution-processed OLEDs.
