We present a model for designing highly efficient luminescent carbene-Gold-amide complexes, utilizing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) to achieve very high radiative rates. By extending the π-system of the carbene and amide ligands, blue-emissive complexes with photoluminescence efficiencies (ΦPL > 0.95) and fast radiative rates (kr = 4 × 106 s-1) can be created. Our compounds offer a general design approach for such complexes, minimizing the energy difference between singlet and triplet states (ΔEST) while maintaining high singlet radiative rates. These emitters are well-suited for OLED devices, and we demonstrate their suitability, exploring their effects on device stability and roll-off. Our studies reveal deep blue OLEDs, utilizing novel host materials tailored to the 2-coordinate TADF emitters.
