Thermally activated delayed fluorescence is a mechanism for enhancing the efficiency of organic light emitting diodes by harvesting triplet excitons, but there is still a need to design more efficient materials. Here, the authors rationally design and characterize a series of π-extended boron- and nitrogen-doped nanographenes as promising candidates.
