Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has seen tremendous research efforts in the last years. It represents an alternative to phosphorescent emitter materials in organic light-emitting diodes, assuring 100% internal quantum efficiency via effective reverse intersystem crossing of barely radiative triplet to emissive singlet states. While many small molecules have been reported to show efficient TADF, reports on polymers sporting TADF are rare. Up to now, publications cover concepts only, where TADF chromophores are linked to polymer networks, retaining their monomeric properties. In this talk, we discuss a novel strategy that unlocks an additional molecular design rule reserved exclusively for polymeric materials. A π-conjugated cyclic polymer composed of non-TADF building blocks was developed. Conjugation induced HOMO destabilization leads to a decreased singlet-triplet splitting and efficient TADF in the polymer, while the repeating unit shows only inefficient phosphorescence. This conjugation induced TADF concept represents a novel molecular design rule particularly for solution-processable polymeric materials.
