Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecules are promising fluorophores for various applications including bioimaging, sensing, and optoelectronic devices. Particularly, their self-absorption-free fluorescence properties would make them a perfect choice as emissive materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Nevertheless, to become effective emitters some of their properties need to be altered by structural modifications. Herein, we design and synthesize a series of new ESIPT molecules (2PImBzP, 2ImBzP, and 2FImBzP) by functionalization of imidazole-phenol-based ESIPT cores with electron-deficient benzo[d]thiazole and various ambipolar imidazole moieties (1-phenyl-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (PIm), 1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole (Im), and (4,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-imidazole (FIm)), respectively. Each molecule displays a complete ESIPT process with intense green emissions from a pure keto form and high solid-state photoluminescence quantum yields (Φ) of 65–80 %. These fluorophores with superior thermal stability and balanced charge carrier mobility are effectively employed as non-doped emitters in OLEDs. The non-doped devices emit greenish lights with high brightness, high current efficiency (CE) (10.95–17.66 cd A), and low turn-on voltages (2.8–2.9 V). The electroluminescence purely originates from the emission of the keto tautomer of the emissive layers. Specifically, the 2PImBzP-based non-doped OLED stands out by achieving a remarkable brightness of 56,220 cd m, a CE of up to 17.66 cd A, and an impressive external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 5.65 % with a slight efficiency roll-off.
