ABSTRACT
The practical use of luminescent mononuclear gold(I) complexes as optoelectronic materials has been limited by their inferior stability. Herein we demonstrate a strategy to improve the stability of gold(I) complexes which display thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). A highly rigid and groove-like σ-donating aryl ligand has been used to form dual Auâ

H-C hydrogen bonds. The secondary metal-ligand interactions have been authenticated by single-crystal structure, NMR spectroscopy and theoretical simulations. The TADF AuI complex exhibits appealing emission properties (photoluminescence quantum yield=76 %; delayed fluorescence lifetime=1.2â
µs) and much improved thermal and photo-stability. Vacuum-deposited organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) show promising electroluminescence with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) over 23 % and negligible efficiency roll-off even at 10 000â
cd m-2 . An estimated LT50 longer than 77 000â
h with initial luminance of 100â
cd m-2 reveals good operational stability. This work suggests a way for design of stable luminescent gold(I) complexes.
