Abstract

A bromine-substituted thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) molecule AQCzBr2 is designed with both small singlet-triplet splitting (ΔEST) and increased spin-orbit coupling (SOC) to boost intersystem crossing (ISC) for singlet oxygen generation. AQCzBr2 nanoparticles (NPs) demonstrate high productivity of singlet oxygen generation (ΦΔ = 0.91) which allows highly efficient photodynamic therapy toward cancer cells.
