In this paper, we demonstrate the performance of several density-based methods in predicting inversion S1 and T1 states a few N-heterocyclic triangulene based fused ring molecules (popularly known as INVEST molecules) with an eye to identify well performing but cost-effective preliminary screening method. Both conventional linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (LR-TDDFT) ΔSCF (namely maximum overlap method, square-gradient minimization restricted open-shell Kohn–Sham) are considered for excited state computations using exchange–correlation (XC) functionals from different rungs Jacob’s ladder. A well-justified systematism is observed when compared against fully internally contracted multireference configuration interaction singles doubles and/or equation motion coupled-cluster (EOM-CCSD), most important feature being capture spin-polarization presence correlation. set least mean absolute error proposed both approaches, LR-TDDFT ΔSCF, which can be more alternatives on synthesizable larger derivatives templates studied here.

Computational investigations of Inverted Singlet-Triplet (INVEST) emitters often rely on ADC(2) and TD-DFT excitation energies (EEs) obtained with the vertical approximation. Here, we first considered several cyclazine derivatives examine sensitivity EEs (VEEs) as well singlet-triplet gaps, ΔES1T1 to level at which ground state (S0) structure was optimized. For cyclazine, VEEs gaps from or are spread over a narrow range (< 0.064 eV) whether S0 is optimized various DFT, CCSD, RI-MP2 methods. However, for asymmetric cyclazines, depending protocol optimizing structures, not only substantially wider (up 0.75 but so 0.30 eV), leading cases where, different one obtains positive significantly negative gaps.

Molecular engineering of organic emitter molecules with inverted singlet-triplet energy gaps (INVEST) has emerged as a powerful approach for enhancing fluorescence efficiency through triplet harvesting. In these unique materials, the first excited singlet state (S1) lies below lowest (T1), enabling efficient reverse intersystem crossing. Previous computational studies have focused on accurately calculating gap and establishing qualitative structure-property relationships. Here, we present quantitative relationships that link molecular structure to S1-T1 gap, ΔEST, by introducing benchmark set 15 heptazine-based INVEST (HEPTA-INVEST15). We identify strong linear correlation (R2 > 0.94) between ΔEST both degree intramolecular charge transfer deviation from single-excitation character, quantified %R1 values transition density matrix norms. These trends persist across our expanded 44 mono-, di-, tri-substituted heptazines (HEPTA-INVEST44), underscoring generality findings. Notably, strongly electron-donating groups, such -NH2, minimize magnitude in mono-substituted yet produce most negative certain derivatives, result arising competing resonance effects excited-state aromaticity. Although shows no clear Hammett parameters, results reveal physically meaningful, computable descriptors offer mechanistic foundation future data-driven design emitters. findings pave way machine-learning approaches connect without requiring high-level calculations.
