Novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials by high-throughput virtual screening: going beyond donor–acceptor design

Abstract
125 potential TADF candidates are identified through quantum chemistry calculations of 700 molecules derived from a database of 40 000 molecular semiconductors. Most of them are new and some do not belong to the class of donor–acceptor molecules.
