aMeasured as a 50 wt% doped thin film in a PPF host matrix (Dope) or pure neat film (Neat) at 300 K under N2.

bPL emission maximum.

cFull width at half-maximum of the PL spectrum given in energy or wavelength.

dAbsolute PL quantum yield evaluated using an integrating sphere from overall QA and QE emissions.

eFractional quantum yields for prompt fluorescence (Φp) and delayed fluorescence (Φd): Φp + Φd = ΦPL.

fEmission lifetimes for prompt fluorescence (τp) and delayed fluorescence (τp).

gRate constant of fluorescence radiative decay (S1 → S0): kr = Φp/τp.

hRate constant of ISC (S1 → T1): kISC = (1 – Φp)/τp.

iRate constant of RISC (T1 → S1): kRISC = Φd/(kISCτpτdΦp).

jSinglet–triplet energy splitting determined from the lowest excited singlet (ES) and triplet (ET) energies by ΔEST = ESET (see ESI).
