  • Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is a promising route towards high-efficiency, metal-free organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the characterization of TADF kinetics in solid-state thin films is often complicated by pronounced multiexponential photoluminescence decays that prevent standard biexponential modeling. In this work, we introduce the 'Gamma-Fit' method, a streamlined analytical framework based on the gamma distribution that accounts for the continuous distribution of decay rates inherent in disordered molecular ensembles. By treating the decay as a result of conformational and kinetic heterogeneity, we accurately extract kinetic parameters for the benchmark emitters 4CzIPN and 5CzBN, as well as a series of novel diphenylamine (DPA)-based systems. Our results reveal that accounting for the local environment in thin films remains an important part in determining OLED efficiency. The experimental findings are complemented by a semiclassical Marcus-like computational approach. We evaluate the reliability of this conventional single-conformation rate calculation method and highlight the presence of conformational ensembles and multiple RISC-active triplet states as important factors for accurately describing the transition kinetics.
