Stable deep blue multiresonance emitters with small full width at half maximum (FWHM) are attractive for wide color-gamut organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the steric repulsion from spatially close hydrogens would twist skeletons, causing spectral broadening and molecular instability issues. Here, we strategically introduce a mesitylboron locking unit into carbazole-embedded model emitter, alleviating hydrogen repulsions also strengthening para-positioned weak carbon-nitrogen bond in anionic states. An emission peaking 452 nm an FWHM of merely 14 nearly BT.2020 chromaticity coordinates obtained toluene, affording high external quantum efficiency 33.9% sensitizing device.
