Two of the properties important for photodynamic therapy applications are systematically investigated on a trihydroxylated monohalogenated porphyrin core. Singlet oxygen generation can be increased thanks to the heavy atom effect, frequently provided by the introduction of halogen atoms on the photosensitizer. We compare the effect of the presence of the four halogen atoms with the analogous halogen-free porphyrin. Cell uptake is crucial as well for successful photodynamic outcome and is directly related to the amphiphilicity of the molecule. The five derivatives bearing H, F, Cl, Br or I atoms are compared in this regard. The presence of iodine atom induces a sharp difference in singlet oxygen generation compared to all the other derivatives investigated, but increases its lipophilicity, still in the limits suitable for biomedical applications.

As one type of latest emitters with simultaneous high efficiency and color-purity, the development of multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials represents an important advancement for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). We herein present a new strategy to improve the performance of MR-TADF emitters by fusing sulfur element into the B-N based framework, aiming to utilize the non-metal heavy-atom effect in accelerating the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process of the emitter. Two compounds, namely 2PTZBN and 2PXZBN, were developed in this work through rigidifying the DABNA-1 skeleton by sulfur or oxygen atoms. The theoretical calculations and photoluminescence studies revealed that the sulfur-incorporated 2PTZBN enabled considerable rate constant of RISC (<i>k</i><sub>RISC</sub>) up to 2.8 × 10<sup>5</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in toluene due to larger spin-orbital coupling (SOC) values and smaller singlet-triplet energy splitting (Δ<i>E</i><sub>ST</sub>) compared with 2PXZBN. Consequently, organic light-emitting diodes based on 2PTZBN exhibited highly efficient green emission with maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 25.5%.
